Daily wellness for children: Vitamins and Minerals
Achieving a full-spectrum of nutrients is critical for a child's optimal physical, cognitive, and social development. Choosing nutrient-dense vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy fats and proteins, provides the basic building blocks for health.
However, numerous factors can compromise nutrient status:
Taste preference
Food sensitivities
Digestive difficulties
Special metabolic needs
Parent - child power struggles
Furthermore, a child's self-selection or special diet can result in suboptimal levels of certain nutrients. For example, gluten-free diets can be lower in essential B vitamins and casein-free diets can be lower in calcium. It is always recommended for a parent to assess children's dietary practices, nutrition or lack thereof at school lunches, and introduce the following nutritional supplements added to your child's diet:
