Your Child and Nutrition: What is Nutrition?To be technical about it, child nutrition is when all the parts of your child's body is receiving what it needs to live. How food affects the body is all part of nutrition. Our bodies digest whatever we take in. When we eat, no matter what we eat, our body's digestive system will break the food down in different areas and organs. Through the course of the digestive system, our body's take from the food whatever nutrients it can, and it flushes out the rest. This is why eating healthy food is important. When we eat healthy food we are providing our bodies with the right stuff to break down and store in the different systems. When we eat unhealthy food or junk food, our body ends up storing junk, and unnecessary unhealthy products. This is why someone who eats fast food all the time encounters health problems, their bodies are storing unhealthy products, and it affects all other systems. A growing child needs good nutrition to stay healthy and to grow and develop to his or her maximum potential. Good childhood nutrition will carry on into adulthood. Healthy children are less likely to encounter some of the major medical problems many adults now face. The notion that a child can indulge now and eat healthy or make up for it later is extremely flawed. In fact, your child has to eat healthy now so that he or she has a good chance of being healthy later. Good nutrition starts from the womb, and it should never end. We will now take a look at the essentials of good nutrition and healthy children. |
