A recent study has found that children who are allowed to watch certain cooking shows that promote healthy eating are more likely to make healthy food choices, reported CNN.
The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, took place at Tilburg University in the Netherlands and was led by assistant professor Frans Folkvord. Researchers asked 125 children between the ages of 10 and 12 to watch short clips of a television show.
Half the kids in the study were shown clips featuring healthy foods while the other half watched segments that included unhealthy foods. In the videos, Dutch children participated in cooking competitions and were asked to state the ingredients that were in each dish.
