Kids Nutrition
At Re-vive, we are passionate about nutrition for kids. Children have their own unique nutrient needs and meeting those needs is vital for a child to grow up big and strong (and healthy)!
A child’s diet should consist of a variety of foods that contain a range of nutrients. Nutrition for kids is based on the same principles as nutrition for adults. Everyone needs the same types of nutrients — such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Children, however, need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages.
Nearly 1 in 3 children in is overweight or obese. Despite all the focus on kids being overweight and obese, many parents are still confused, especially when it comes to what kids eat. How much does your child need? Is he getting enough calcium? Enough iron? Too much fat?
Whether you have a toddler or a teen, nutrition is important to his or her physical and mental development. Here’s what children need — no matter what the age.
Babies
During this stage of life, it’s almost all about the milk — whether it’s breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two. Breast milk or formula will provide practically every nutrient a baby needs for the first year of life.
Toddlers & Preschoolers
Toddlers and preschoolers grow in spurts and their appetites come and go in spurts, so they may eat a whole lot one day and then hardly anything the next. It’s normal, and as long as you offer them a healthy selection, they will get what they need.
Gradeschoolers
It isn’t uncommon for younger once to be a vegetarian in India. This doesn’t mean your child won’t get enough protein; animal tissue isn’t the only place we get protein. Rice, beans, eggs, milk, and peanut butter all have protein. So whether your child goes “no-meat” for a week or for life, he or she will likely still get sufficient amounts of protein.
Preteens & Teens
As puberty kicks in, young people need more calories to support the many changes they will experience. Unfortunately, for some, those extra calories come from fast food or “junk” foods with little nutritional value.
Although getting your child to eat healthy — regardless of his or her age — can be a constant battle, its one well worth fighting. A healthy child becomes a healthy adult, and only with your support and guidance will your child be both.
We at Re-vive are going to provide the kind of the help a Kid needs at the stage of their growth. We are here to suggest and provide you proper alternatives to the food, from which your kid tries to run away. We can help and suggest the best for your kid at the time of difficult stages which he/she is going through and they not only need proper diet to support their physical growth but also to help them building mental strength.
