Importance of giving your children proper nutrition
Childhood is the most exciting and important stage that requires age-specific nutrition.
Childhood is the most exciting and important stage that requires age-specific nutrition. Children need proper nutrients to grow optimally, healthy, and strong.
However, several nutrient gaps may affect growth in children.
Examples of the critical nutrient gaps identified for young children are a deficiency in Vitamin A, Zinc, and Iron. Another common challenge that most parents are battling with is a child who refuses to eat or just wants to drink liquids.
These affect the health of their immune systems which all contribute to poorer adult outcomes in terms of cognitive development and overall health and well-being. To respond to some of these nutritional challenges, Nestlé Nido has announced its new recipe which they claim can be a solution to some of these problems.
The brand held a virtual launch that was attended by various media and influential caregivers nationwide and was hosted by a well-known social media personality, Olwethu Leshabane.
Amongst the panelists, were Bontle Sebesho, a registered dietitian as well as Abigail Friedman who is an occupational therapist. The brand says it encourages all South African parents and caregivers to continue supporting the growth and development of their children by choosing age-appropriate nutritional products for them.
