Healthy cooking … healthy children By Margaret Steele Copy Editor arents had a chance to learn about healthy eating, in a workshop hosted by Army C o m m u n i t y S e r v i c e ’s Fa m i l y Advocacy Program. Meg Reichert, a board-certified, holistic health coach and local military spouse, presented the workshop to parents.

with Type-2 diabetes, which is usually adult-onset diabetes, than Type 1, which is adolescent/childhood diabetes,” Reichert said, adding that Type 2 is 100-percent manageable through diet and exercise. “When we’re looking at why 25 percent of our preschoolers are overweight or obese, it’s because we think we’re giving our kids healthy food,” she said.

Eat early

Changes

According to Reichert, our liver makes the insulin while we are fasting as we sleep. “However, when we wake up in the morning, the liver doesn’t stop producing insulin, until you eat,” she said. “So, you don’t want to wait a long time after you wake to eat something. This is why people who aren’t used to eating breakfast claim to be hungry soon after they eat. It’s their bodies talking to them.”

Food is adequate fuel

Reichert suggested parents and caregivers provide kids highenergy, saturated fat and complex carbs. “Carbs are great, in my opinion. Whole grains, like brown rice, quinoa, lentils, amaranth, teff and barley have a huge place in your diet and a gigantic place in your children’s diets,” she said. “Carbs made of whole grains that are unrefined, but have fat, help in children’s brain development.” The fat could be an avocado added to a smoothie or a serving of whole-fat yogurt. And, she suggested kids who drink milk should drink 2-percent, instead of whole milk.

Don’t overdo the sugar

The presenter warned of excess sugar and risks for diabetes, if children eat a lot of food that’s geared toward them. “The yogurt in a tube, marketed for children, has double the amount of sugar in one serving that the USDA says a grown woman should have in a day,” she said. “More kids are being diagnosed

“We all know that everyone’s tastes evolve over time,” Reichert said. “Infants really crave sweet things, as breast milk and formulas are both sweet. They know they need this to survive. Some sweeter foods include carrots, corn, sweet potatoes and fruit.” After four months of age, they tend to flock to saltier things. However, instead of adding salt to foods and cooking, Reichert suggests parents cook or pan-roast vegetables in chicken broth. “Infants are predisposed to reject few foods and new flavors, and are highly responsive to high energy, nutrient-dense foods,” she said. “So, the more flavorful and nutritious foods we give them when they’re young, when they’re older, they naturally go to those foods they have a flavor for. First foods should be sweet potatoes, bananas, or something similar and, Reichert said, and infants who have been offered a wide variety of foods tend to more readily accept wider varieties of food later.

Parents, too

“Eating habits of parents are important, too,” she said. “If parents are sneaking around, hiding while eating chips and candy, kids are going to be curious about that. However, if they see us eating carrots and hummus, that’s what they’ll be drawn to. Our kids are always watching us.” “As adult caregivers, we have to serve as the model for our children’s eating behaviors; we determine which foods are available; what por-

She suggested: try to gather as many as possible for all meals; make conversations happen and encourage everyone to eat more slowly. “Also, if we make kids something other than what we are having for dinner, then we’re already telling them they won’t like what we’ve made,” she said. “We want our children to be healthy and fed.

AER offers $2,500 relicensing aid for spouses HO

By Thomas Brading Army News Service

rmy spouses can apply for reimbursement of up to $2,500 in professional relicensing expenses through Army Emergency Relief, for when they move to another state. Last month, Army officials announced a $500 limit on relicensing costs for military spouses for permanent change-of-station moves. However, if additional funds are needed for relicensing, AER will help offset those costs for eligible spouses. The new category of AER assistance went into effect June 5. “We at AER are constantly looking to expand our categories of assistance to even better support the Army team,” said retired Lt. Gen. Raymond V. Mason, AER director. “One key is the challenge of PCS moves and the demands it places on Army Families; this is especially true for working spouses whose jobs require certification/licensing for every new state they live in. “This is the right thing to do for our Families who give so much to their Soldier and our nation,” he added during an Association of the U.S. Army “Hot Topic” symposium on installation management. The first step for spouses is knowing the certification requirements in their new state. If assistance is necessary, spouses who are eligible

Army will reimburse them,” said Krista Anderson, military spouse ambassador for AER. “If the cost exceeds $500, they’ll be able to apply through AER for additional funds. The application process better determines if it should be a loan, grant, or combination of both.” The change came in response to multiple surveys that show the rate of underemployment among military spouses increases exponentially with each move and that it’s a top stressor, according to Soldiers and their Families. AER hopes that with this new category of assistance in place, more spouses will be able to gain or maintain employment with each move. The program is intended to assist Army Families by lessening the financial burden faced when moving to a new duty location.

A Defense Finance and Accounting Service representative speaks with a potential candidate, Sept. 19, 2018, during a hiring fair at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Army Emergency Relief recently announced a new program that would reimburse spouses up to $2,500 for relicensing expenses, making it easier for them to continue their careers when they move to another state. for the reimbursement will need their Soldier—whether active-duty, National Guard or Reserve—to apply for the reimbursement at their command. They will need a completed SF 1034 form, known as a Public Voucher for Purchases and Services Other Than Personal form; a copy of their PCS orders; and copies of the old state license or certification, the new license or certification, marriage

certificate, and proof of fees paid. Soldiers and their spouses will be able to apply for this assistance within 180 days of arrival to their new location by presenting the license or certification from the previous state with their application, which they can find on aerhq.org. “AER will provide a loan for the initial $500 up front, so spouses are able to enact their recertification or licensing right away, knowing the
