Children´s Nutrition

Get your children off to a great start early on, giving them a strong nutritional foundation and good habits to support their growth and development.

W.H,O FACTS ABOUT CHILDREN NUTRITION

The two biggest health hazards in the world today are an unhealthy diet and inactivity.
Good eating habits begin at an early age. Breastfeeding promotes healthy growth and enhances cognitive development. It may also have long-term health benefits, such as lowering the chance of obesity and overweight in later life, as well as a lower risk of acquiring non-communicable diseases.

A vital component of development and health is nutrition. Increased immunity, safer pregnancies and deliveries, a decreased risk of non-communicable diseases (including diabetes and cardiovascular disease), longer life spans, and better nutrition are all associated with better health outcomes for mothers, babies, and children.

Children in good health learn more effectively. A healthy diet increases productivity and opens doors for people to progressively end the cycles of hunger and poverty.

Any sort of malnutrition poses serious risks to people’s health. Undernutrition and overweight are the two main forms of malnutrition that the world is currently dealing with, particularly in low- and middle-income nations.

Malnutrition takes several forms: undernutrition (wasting or stunting), insufficient vitamin or mineral intake, obesity, overweight, and the ensuing noncommunicable diseases linked to diet.

Optimal diet during a child’s first two years of life promotes healthy growth and enhances cognitive development. Additionally, it lowers the chance of gaining weight or becoming obese and eventually getting NCDs.

W.H.O Healthy Diet Key facts For infants and young children

The guidelines for a nutritious diet for babies and kids are the same as those for adults, but they should also include the following things:

A baby should only be nursed for the first six months of its life.
Breastfeeding should be continued for infants until they are two years old and older.
Breast milk should be supplemented with a range of sufficient, secure, and nutrient-dense foods starting at six months of age. Complementary foods shouldn’t have sugar or salt added to them.

Practical advice on maintaining a healthy diet

Vegetables and fruits
Consuming five servings, or 400 g, of fruit and vegetables daily lowers the risk of non-communicable diseases and contributes to a sufficient daily intake of dietary fiber.

You can increase your intake of fruits and vegetables by:

consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables, always including veggies in meals, and snacking on fresh fruit and raw vegetables when they’re in season.

Sugars The consumption of free sugars in adults and children should be limited to less than 10% of total calorie intake . More health advantages might arise from reducing overall energy intake to less than 5%.

Eating sugars without added sugar raises the risk of dental caries, or tooth decay. Overeating and obesity can result from consuming too many calories from foods and beverages that are high in free sugar. Additionally, recent data indicates that free sugars affect blood pressure and serum lipid levels and that consuming less free sugar may lower cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Sugar consumption can be decreased by:

consuming fewer high-sugar foods and beverages, such as sugary snacks, candies, and sugar-sweetened beverages (i.e., all types of beverages containing free sugars); substituting fresh fruit and raw vegetables for sugary snacks, as well as carbonated or non-carbonated soft drinks, fruit and vegetable juices and drinks, liquid and powder concentrates, flavor-infused water, energy and sports drinks, ready-to-drink tea, ready-to-drink coffee, and flavor-infused milk drinks.
