You might always pack a lunch for your child, but if you hit the drive-through on a regular basis, your pocketbook, as well as your teeth, are probably taking a beating. Take a cue from your kids and bring healthy packed lunches to work so that you have control over what you're eating at noon. The good news is that you can pack yourself and your children the same lunch, saving time and energy. When you pack lunches, make sure you include a healthy mix of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats, which fuel your body and protect your health. At the same time, include foods that contain nutrients important to your teeth and gums, such as calcium and vitamins A and C.
