Leading paediatricians and nutritionists have voiced that food insecurity coupled with poor diets could leave British schoolchildren with “dramatically” worse long-term health…
Our Story
Hi, I’m Souraya, and here is my story of how I created Funutrition.
It all started with my youngest son who has a cow milk protein allergy and who stubbornly refuses to eat everything except a few chosen foods. As a parent, I want to keep my kid healthy by providing him with plenty of nutritious foods, without forcing him to eat which could create another problem. I am also a qualified nutritional therapist, so recognised the importance of good nutrition for his growth and development.
I found that the best way was to incorporate a fun element to the experience:
- I tried playing with food! I did this at times out of regular eating times.
- I played with him so that he sees that I am happy to have food on my hands and make a mess.
- I linked and related food with his hero, for example: by eating your protein, you will get stronger and develop more muscles like superman and, ‘proved’ it to him by letting him try to push a table with my help without letting him notice.
