Our kids mean the world to us, and everything we do in our lives we do it for them in order to ensure that they get a good life. As parents it becomes our fundamental duty to ensure that our children get the best at everything. Which means that they also get the best nutrition that is needed for their growth. Diet and nutrition goes hand in hand, and many children suffer due to malnutrition because they do not get the right nutritious food at early ages. Even at young ages having good food habits will ensure that they have a good and healthy life.?
Many of our kids have got used to unhealthy eating habits, and with the kind of advertising that is promoted on television and on other platforms, kids are being pulled in towards unhealthy foods and eating habits. It is our duty as parents to guide them into correct eating habits. By not having the right kind of nutrition there can be so many negative impacts on children. One of the bad habits that children of this generation have adopted is skipping breakfast. As parents it is important that you make sure that your children have a healthy and nutritious breakfast every day. Many kids have allergies to dairy and certain nuts. However you can include dairy free yoghurt, and certain healthy grains and cereals, fresh fruit, and other nutritious food in order to make a healthy breakfast meal for your children.
One of the biggest negative impacts that can be on children by not having enough nutrition is the lack of focus and energy. Childhood is a time where children should be bubbling with energy as they have very creative imaginations and they always want to get engaged in physical exercises like playing outdoors. It is of paramount importance that children do get to engage in such activities as it will help grow their personalities as well and physical bodies. However, when children do not get proper nutrition they tend to feel lethargic and inactive. This cannot be a good sign as this will highly affect their energy levels and make them lose focus in school activities as well. Children with low energy levels have a problem in concentrating on their studies as well. So as a result they will constantly feel like they cannot keep up with their classmates and their studies during the day.
These kind of early signs can be an indicator of lack of nutrition. As aparent one of the things you can do is to get proper advice from doctors and dieticians, on how to prepare a nutritious meal for your children. Even if your kid is a fussy eater, with a little persistence you might be able to get them on board. It is important that you cultivate a habit of healthy eating every day, so once it becomes a habit, with time, it also becomes a lifestyle choice. Educate your children on the importance if eating nutritious meals and get them on board in this new way of life.
