Chapter 1:
Importance Of Child Nutrition
Synopsis
It is up to the adult to ensure the meals a child consumes us as
balanced as possible. With balanced meals, the child will be able to
have all the necessary nutrition needed for optimum and normal
growth patterns both mentally and physically. Besides the various
food groups and nutrition supplements that should be part of the
daily diet plan of a child, the preparation style of the food should also
be taken into consideration to ensure its nutritional integrity.
- 6 -
The Basics
The following are some recommendations to consider when
keeping a child’s nutritional balance, foremost in his or her daily
food intake:
Always make it a point to offer nutritional snacks such as fresh
fruits, vegetables and yoghurt. When a child chooses such
nutrition packed snacks habitually it effectively decreases the
possibility of unhealthy food choices and intake.
Teaching a child the importance of reaching for a glass of water
instead of sweetened drinks is another good habit to inculcate.
Water is not only a cheaper alternative but is also one that is
ultimately the only totally healthy liquid to consume.
Sharing a nutritious meal with a child, as often as possible will
help to encourage the child to make healthy choices simply by
watching the adult’s positive eating habits.
Basically, with proper nutritional intake the child will be able to
develop mentally and physically without any unusual problems.
The health conditions of the child would also be better both in the
growing stage and as a good foundation for the future adult phase
in life.

Chapter 2:
The Common Nutrient Deficiencies
Synopsis
From infancy to the toddler age group, there is usually quite a limited
amount of foods that can be consumed. Ensuring that these foods are
highly nutritious can be quite a challenge for the adult in charge of
ensuring a complete and healthy diet plan.
Although infants who are on a breast milk diet as supposed to be able
to get the best and most complete nutrition needed, most mothers
today are not conscious of their own heating habit and certainly not
ensuring total nutrition content.
When this happens the milk produced will not have all the ideal
nutritional content. Then same applies for the younger children age
group where simply providing snacks and food that are convenient
and quick for consumption are often not highly nutrition upon
examination.

Nutrients
The following are some of the deficiencies that are likely to show up in
the health of children:
 Vitamin D – this is common in infants born to mothers with low
levels of vitamin D in their own body systems. This usually
leads to development of Rickets, which is a bone delebitating
disease.
 Vitamin K – it is becoming a very common practice to
administer a dose of this vitamin in a newborn as it help to
prevent a rare condition which causes bleeding into the brain.
 Iron – most infants who are breastfed for longer than 6 months
are usually are risk of developing iron deficiency in the first
year. This can be changed with some additional foods into the
diet plan besides simply depending on only the breast milk for
sustenance.
 Vitamin A – this is a fat-soluble nutrient that is stored in the
body and used according to the body needs and when there is
an insufficient amount of this vitamin in the child system,
frequent infections occur.

Chapter 3:
Teach Your Children About Healthy Eating
Synopsis
There are a lot of reasons why a child should be taught to eat healthily
from a very young age. With good eating habits inculcated into a child
daily dietary regiment the assurance of getting all the nutritional
needs for the body will be well under control. It would also ensure the
child’s weight and health conditions are kept to its optimum.
- 10 -
Important Info
The following are some recommendations on who to approach the
topic of healthy eating habits for children:
Guidance and not dictation, is the way to help children adopt a
healthy lifestyle and make informed food choices. Providing a healthy
array of stacks within easy access of the child will help this process
even more.
Teaching a child to consume food at a slower rate is also another way
to show them good and healthy eating habits. Eating slowly will allow
them to actually learn to taste and enjoy the foods being eaten thus
helping them to eat less and yet feel fuller.
Including children in food shopping sprees is another good way to
educate them on healthy food varieties available and how to discern
these for the benefits of the body.
Making this exercise as fun and informative as possible is good for the
child’s future healthy food choices. Encouraging children to help in
the actual food preparations is also another good exercise to inculcate
in the daily routine of food preparation.
This is also another fun way to introduce healthy food to the child and
encourage them to form a habit of eating such foods.
- 11 -
Encouraging the consumption of water over other drink choices is
also another healthy choice to follow. Water is a much better choice
as it not only hydrates but also is less like to cause unwanted negative
build-ups in the body system.
- 12 -
Chapter 4:
Fight Child Obesity
Synopsis
Most families today have a rather high ratio of obesity within the
family unit. This is due to a variety of reasons of which the popular
ones are lack of exercise and the intake of very unhealthy foods.
- 13 -
Change The Foods
The following are some recommendations as to how to go about
putting some control back into the individual’s hands and help
them along with the fight towards obesity:
Maintaining an even meals routine is one way to start the journey
towards rectifying the negative presence of obesity. When a child is
used to keeping to specific times for meals and is strictly
discouraged from indulging in eating outside these time frames,
then there is less likelihood of the said child looking for food
outside the time frames set.
This will then help to eliminate the need to eat all the time which is
mostly due to habit rather than the actual fulfillment of hunger.
Making meals interesting and easy is another way to encourage
children to have fun during meal times. This association of food
and fun should also be a learning curve for the child whereby the
specific positive attributes of each food group is made known to
the child.
This will not only enhance and child’s knowledge bit will also be a
fun way to learn things. The take particular delight in being able to
display their knowledge to others and this should be capitalized
upon.
- 14 -
Setting a good example for the child to follow is also advised as
most children are very in tuned to their surroundings and will
automatically follow what they observe.
Being a good example and staying healthy in the process will
encourage the child to understand the merits of fighting against
obesity and making healthy food choices.
Keeping only healthy foods and snacks available also encourages
as the child will they be only used to these items and will naturally
seek them out when the need arises.
- 15 -
Chapter 5:
Optimal Nutrition For Your Children
Synopsis
With the lifestyles most people adopt today there is very little room to
ensure a proper nutrition regiment is followed. This is also the
scenario when it comes to nutrition-balanced meals for children.
- 16 -
Balance It
Most people eat on the go or eat while doing something such as multi
tasking, and children to have learnt to pick up on this bad habit.
When this happens very little attention is given to what is being
consumed as the prime concern here is to satisfy the hunger pangs.
Thus in the quest to focus on more nutritionally based diet the first
thing to do would be to actually a lot specific times for meals where
the entire exercise is designed to focus on the food and the eating
process.
The next would be to actually plan out the child’s dietary needs
according to the best nutritional values of the foods chosen. Including
a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables especially the leafy green kinds into
diet plan should be given some level of importance.
Making use of a variety of fruits and vegetables will encourage the
child to look forward to the meals being prepared. Most of the body
nutritional content can be gotten from a healthy supply of fresh fruits
and vegetables.
While eating proteins and carbs is also necessary for the optimum
growth patterns it should be done in a controlled manner so as to
ensure a comfortable and healthy balance is struck. The
phytonutrients form these sources will produce the necessary amount
of vitamin C, E and beta-carotene.
- 17 -
Another important nutrient for optimum child development would
include the carotenoid which includes alpha and beta-carotene,
lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin, all of which converts to vitamin A for
the body functions. A good dose of flavonoid which is loaded with
antioxidants also helps to keep the child’s arteries and cholesterol
levels in check.
- 18 -
Chapter 6:
Meal Pan For Your Kids
Synopsis
Planning a meal menu for kids can the very challenging most because
kids can be rather fussy eaters and seem to enjoy meals that have very
little nutritional value. Therefore a lot of thought and effort is needed
to make the meal enticing enough to be well received.
- 19 -
Planning
The presence of the unhealthiness in a meal is especially true when it
comes to the fried food variety where the main unhealthy ingredient
in the preparation method is oil.
This style of preparation should be reconsidered whenever possible
and substitutes such as baking, grilling, broiling or serving it item
fresh should be chosen.
Meals that are colorful are often well received by children as they are
naturally drawn to the various colors in the foods. Thus choosing to
prepare salads as a fast food option would be encouraged.
The use of a variety of vibrant colored vegetables and fruits is both
welcoming to the eye and also very nutritious. Serving snacks that are
nutritionally based is also another style to include in the meal plan for
kids.
Having only snacks that have good nutritional content readily
available for the child will ensure the need and source of the
unhealthy snack is kept to a minimum.
Meal planning should also include a variety of sandwiches, and here
again the idea is to provide color and variety. Making sandwiches that
are low in fat flour content and using filling made from grilled or
baked ingredients would be better than deep fried fillings.
Most kids enjoy eating a variety of fillings and substituting a
conventional sandwich with a tortillas wrap would be an interesting
- 20 -
and innovative way of including items into the meal plan. Using other
wraps which are healthy should also be part of the meal menu, and
these can include simple ingredients such as cabbage leaves, and
different types of flat bread.
- 21 -
Chapter 7:
Essential Vitamins And Minerals For Children
Synopsis
The following are some recommendations on the essential vitamins
and minerals that should ideally be part of the child’s diet plan:
- 22 -
Vitamins
Calcium – for healthy bones and teeth there is a need to have the
adequate amounts of calcium in the body system at all times. Growing
children need this element to ensure optimum growth. Calcium can
be gotten by consuming milk, dairy products, spinach, kale and
almonds.
Iron – iron assists in keeping the blood healthy and oxygen flowing
well into the tissues. Any lack of iron in the body system will cause an
anemic condition and this can cause a lot of negative effects on the
child. Iron can be gotten from red meats, beans and iron fortifies
foods such as in certain cereals.
Magnesium – this mineral is used to keep the heart beating healthily
and also creates a strong immune system and strong bones. For
growing children this is an important element to ensure, there is
adequate supply of as these age groups tends to have more bump,
falls and minor accidents than other age groups. A good source of
magnesium would be in whole grains, fish, nuts, potatoes and dairy
products.
Potassium – this is another important element that is needed to
ensure optimum body functions are developed accordingly. These
would include the development of kidneys and the blood pressure
conditions. A good source of potassium can be gotten from potatoes,
bananas, avocados and fish.
- 23 -
Then there is the list of vitamins which also help in various different
ways to ensure the child’s body not only copes well with fending off
any diseases but also achieves optimum growth both mentally and
physically.
- 24 -
Chapter 8:
Overcome Eating Disorder
Synopsis
Most eating disorders are caused through simple negligence or
uninformed parenting or over enthusiastic eating regiments. Any one
or a combination of these can have serious effects on the overall
healthy growth of a child. Ideally there should be some guidelines to
help the young and inexperienced parent to recognize and cope with
this possibility.
- 25 -
What’s Needed
There are three main types of eating disorders and they include Pica
Disorder, Rumination Disorder and Eating Disorder of Infancy or
Early Childhood. The Pica disorder centers on eating non-food
material such as hazardous and any toys and such.
The Rumination disorder is a chronic eating condition that focuses on
the regurgitation of food taken but not severe enough to be classified
as vomiting. Lastly there is the Eating disorder of Infancy and Early
childhood and this is where the malnutrition is not caused by a
medical problem.
In the quest to adequately address this problem there are several
recommendation that can and should be followed as this would
eventually help to create a better eating experience for both the child
and the adult involved in the exercise.
With these recommendations carefully followed it is also possible to
reverse the eating disorder to help the child adjust to normal feeing
patterns which will be both beneficial to the overall health and also
have the added benefits to the child being able to simulate well into
eating habits that are more socially acceptable.
Increasing the number of calories, mineral, vitamins and amounts of
fluids the child consumes in one way of getting the child into a more
balanced and acceptable eating plan. Ensuring the food is presented
in an appealing design and with variety, will also encourage
- 26 -
cooperation on the part of the child to actually partake in the meal
presented. Trying to identify the presence of any illnesses that maybe
contributing to the eating disorder is also another exercise that can be
conducted to correct the eating disorder problem.
- 27 -
Wrapping Up
Having healthy children is the desire of any parent as healthy
children are happy children and the visits to the doctor which can be
rather costly and stressful in certainly limited if not eliminated
altogether.
