Crunchy Is Good!

March 10, 2009

Part of the PWS food menu is the inclusion of crunchy veggies during mealtimes. Crunching on celery, carrots, and broccoli helps those with PWS feel full and aids in digestion. These foods increase the volume of food on the plate and helps the person feel like they are getting a “complete” meal. Another good idea for parents and caregivers of children or adults with PWS is to consider the addition of Omega 3 oils to the diet. As always, check with your primary care physician and/or nutritionist on adding this to the daily regime.
