Kids Health

Growing children have different nutritional requirements to adults and very different likes and dislikes when it comes to food. Add to that the fads and phases that most children go through in relation to particular foods and flavours, and it is no wonder that mealtimes can become a battleground if we are not careful.
While still trying to establish good eating patterns for life, ensuring your child takes a suitable multivitamin and mineral means that all the basic nutrients are covered. A fish oil supplement is also being seen as an essential these days as so many different research studies demonstrate the value of Omega 3s. Lastly, as no multi can ever contain sufficient calcium for a child’s growing and developing bones, a separate calcium supplement should also be considered.
Laying strong foundations now, while you still have some control over their diet, will pay dividends in future years when they become more independent and even more susceptible to peer pressure through their teens.
