Dieting and Children’s Health – SmartHealthShop
Normally, every parent is extremely careful about their children’s health, but the busy day today life and modern life style compel a parent to have compromises in the approach towards their children’s health. Feeding the kid whenever he/she wanted or whatever he/she wished cannot be a better way to keep your kid healthy. In fact, it is not just the treatment for diseases or giving precautionary medicines, but a fine dieting is the key to maintain your children’s health.
For a growing child’s health, the most important concern is a balanced diet, which should provide the sufficient nutrients to his body. Since the necessity of nutrients is also increased when the kid grows, parent has to prefer such kind of food items for her kid. When children become two years, almost all items cooked in your home can be given to them, but it’s better to avoid or reduce spicy food. The best way to preserve your children’s health, in the early stage, is to include more vegetables and fruits in their diet. And it is always better to keep your children away from junk food items.
After the two years, children start to have fussy eating habit. Since they have smaller appetites, they need to be given at least five meals a day. In order to make those meals balanced and healthy, you can prefer whole wheat bread, milk, fish, Soya products, cereals, pulses and cereals. With these kinds of diets, you are giving the most protein rich items to your children.
Since the cellular activity is high in their body, when your children reach five years, the calories requirements in their body are increased. Hence, you can add more whole grains or enriched cereals in their diet. The food items contained high fat like skimmed milk, and concentrated sweets should be avoided. However, there is no problem if you prefer grilled and foods. In this age, since there is an increase in muscular development in children, enough protein is needed in their body. So, you have to give protein rich items like milk, egg and meat.
Another important matter you should keep in mind while you feed your children is that the requirements for essential amino acids are higher in this age. Similarly, the food items enriched with vitamins and minerals are also necessary. As the insufficiency of calcium may badly effects the bones in children, you can give include milk, ragi, green vegetables and fish, which contain sufficient calcium, in your children’s diet.
There are some basic principles which you can easily follow to improve your children’s health. It’s not a good habit to feed your children forcibly, because, it may make them the habit of gluttony. You need to always discourage nibbling habits of your children in between meals. The last and important principle to keep your children healthy is that you allow them to play games out door, which will help to increase their appetite.
