Children's Diets today

Did you know most kids consume 25% of their calories from junk food,
according to a recent study.

Do you know what the number one vegetable children eat is?

French fries are the number one vegetable source in their diets.
Is your child one them?

Studies indicate that kids who consume diets lacking adequate nutrition perform poorly in school. Poor nutrition can alter a child’s immune system, affect bone growth, and overall physical development.

To add to the concern is soft-drink consumption among children has more than
doubled since the late 1970s. Most 8-year-olds drink more
soft drinks every single day than milk or juice.

In many cases this is leaving them with a
nutrition gap. Studies show that children who drink
too much soda get smaller quantities of important
nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, folate, and
vitamins A and C.

Teaching children to eat healthy is one thing,however the example comes from the home environment.Eating habits like most child rearing is "caught more than taught"

Even the best diets are still inadequate in providing all the nutrients necessary for proper growth. Supplementation becomes necessary and valuable at this critical time in their developing lives.
