Increase Your Children’s Nutrition Know-How
Children's nutrition follows the same principles as adult nutrition. Vitamins, minerals, carbs, protein, and fat are all essential nutrients for everyone. At different ages, children, on the other hand, require varied amounts of specific nutrients.
A nutritious diet aids in the development and learning of children. It also aids in the prevention of obesity and weight-related illnesses like diabetes. Learn about the nutritional needs of your children. Some of them, such as iron and calcium requirements, alter as your child grows older.
To give your child a nutritious diet:
- Half of your child's plate should be fruits and vegetables.
- Choose protein-rich foods such as lean meat, nuts, and eggs.
- Whole-grain breads and cereals are high in fiber and should be served.
- Put a limit on refined grains.
- Instead of frying, bake, grill, or steam your food.
- Reduce your intake of fast food and junk food.
- Instead of sugary fruit drinks and sodas, offer water or milk.
