Nutrition | Children need food of appropriate quantity and quality for optimal growth and development. If their nutritional intake is inadequate they will fail to gain weight or lose it and will subsequently fail to grow in height.

Dr. Linda Van Horn, PhD, RD (2005), professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University agrees: You can raise a child to enjoy healthy eating and to be selective about food choices. Habits developed in childhood will hopefully last throughout their lives.

Children who develop healthy eating habits early in life are less likely to have weight problems in the future. Here are some ways to help children develop good eating practices.

Ingrained eating habits that lead to these diseases are very difficult to reverse. Poor nutrition creates many potential short and long term risks.

Proper nutrition starts at home and parents need to learn how they can improve the quality of their children’s nutrition and instill the good habits that will ensure they have the greatest chance for a healthy, successful future.
This essay is in reflection of nutrition during infancy and toddlerhood period.

“More than 70 percent of obese adolescents retain their overweight and obese condition even during their adulthood” (What Are Children Munching On?).

These diseases may occur currently, under ones nose, or even further along in ones life like a silent sneak attack of sickness.
