Child Nourishment and Kids Health Supplements
I am sure you will agree that very often you nag your kids into
eating right. The disturbing part in this whole saga is the associated malnourishment. The consoling
part is most children are fussy eaters. Since they are not as informed as the adults, they 'exercise' their priority while choosing
foods. They prefer taste to the nutritional value. As a result, almost
all kids indulge into junk food, sugary snacks, and candies. It is hard
to find a child who loves eating his/her vegetables or prefers fruits
to pretzels. You can still track your child's diet if you are a stay-back-at-home parent or guardian. However, if no-one 'really concerned' is around, then monitoring the child's diet or providing
him or her with nourishing meals is difficult.
A child's body
and brain are constantly growing. Therefore, your kid's diet must essentially comprise of the right balance of vitamins (like A,
B, C, and D), calcium, iron, essential fatty acids, and minerals. Milk,
dairy products, protein, whole grains, cereals, fresh fruits, and green
vegetables need to be integral to your kid's diet. If the child is not
receiving the required nutrients in his/her daily diet, then the
deficiencies may set in. The consequences can be a weak immune system,
low energy levels, or even growth defects.
In such situations, the
parents may choose to complement their child's diet with a complete dietary supplement. These pediatric formulas are designed to meet your child's
daily requirement of vitamins and minerals so that they stay fit,
active, and grow healthy. A huge array of fortifying
supplements available in the market today, can well address a specific
body need of your child. They are available not just in the conventional
pills, capsules, or syrup form, but also as chewable tablets and soft dissolving chews. These come in pleasant fruits and candy flavors to
appeal to a child's tendency.
Recommended Kids Health Supplements
- Muti-Vitamins with Minerals - They help in proper growth and development of the body and should primarily supply Vitamins A, Bs, C, D, Calcium, and Iron.
- Antioxidants - Help defend the system against free radical damage and boost the body's immune function
- Herbal Remedies - For children with tummy troubles, frequent respiratory infections, mild depression, or treatment of worms
Having said this, the experts insist on food as the key
nourishment source for the kids. Try your best to supply all the
nutrients to your child through his or her regular meals. Supplements
should essentially be the last resort. Do refer to your child's doctor
before proceeding with any such supplements.
