Child Nutrition 26 December 2017
How important is proper nutrition for a child? I think as much as education is. Let’s understand why.
Every child is unique and should never be compared to another child. Remember the child carries its parental genes, is raised in a specific family environment and has his/her own likes and dislikes to certain foods. Also at every stage, the needs of a growing child keep changing and so do their preferences.
Just like children are tempted to eat junk food because of peer pressure and TV commercials, they can also be convinced (not enforce) to eat a healthy and balanced meal. A healthy diet provides proper nutrition which can help children -
maintain healthy weight
stabilize their energy
sharpen their mind
avoid certain health problems
supports growth and development
supports mental & emotional wellbeing
improves focus and balance
To instil healthy eating habits and give your kids an opportunity to grow into healthy, confident adults book an appointment by leaving a message.
