Cooler temperatures have hit just about every part of our country by now, which means expanding lunch boxes to include easy and nutritious soups can be a real win from both ease of prep to nutrition standards. Getting the right lunchbox set up is necessary, and products like the Swell food container are affordable, insulated so they will keep warm and will not sweat, are leakproof, and not too bulky. The blog, “Family Fresh Meals” has a quick guide on how to heat and pack soups so they’re still warm at lunch. Check out the kid-friendly soup recipes below, and don’t overcomplicate other lunch box additions. A side of cheese and crackers, a roll, or a half sandwich will complement your efforts.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient needed to build and maintain bone health. It helps the body absorb and preserve calcium and phosphorus. Because Vitamin D is found in a relatively small number of food sources, it is often an added nutrient in fortified foods such as cereals and dairy products. More so, the main natural source of Vitamin D is produced in the skin when UVB rays from the sun initiate a chemical reaction that forms Vitamin D. The amount absorbed from sun exposure can vary significantly across individuals. Vitamin D absorption from sun exposure can be dampened by limited sunlight exposure, either related to decreased sunlight during winter months or limited time outdoors. The recommended dietary allowance of Vitamin D is 400 IU for children up to 12 months old, and 600IU for individuals under the age of 70. Eating a wide range of foods including whole grains, dairy, and fish along with normal day-to-day sun exposure can provide adequate Vitamin D sources. While there are dietary supplements for Vitamin D, it is recommended you always consult a doctor as there are tolerable upper limits of this mineral as well. |
