Why do children need vitamins?
Why do children need "food insurance"?
Picture it... on any dinner table. Nutritious meals, full of colorful foods, lovingly planned, sourced, purchased, and prepared in precise nutrient ratios, with the right combination of flavors and textures to appeal to everyone, before being plated to perfection and that's when... it begins. The whimsical nature of little people emerges, the discerning gaze, the sniffing, the digging, the wrinkled nose, the teenage stares (even in the youngest children), followed by "pffff" and "I won't eat that!" Finding a balance between what your children want to eat and what they will eat is often a delicate process, even with those we call "picky eaters"! Frustrated parents everywhere are increasingly worried that their children aren't getting the nutrients they need. And their worries are real!
Even in developed countries around the world, where childhood obesity is rampant, simply consuming enough or even too many calories does not ensure that adequate levels of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are consistently provided. Recent large-scale data on children in developed countries show that 1 in 4 children had inadequate intakes of at least 1 nutrient, with girls at higher risk than boys. This is not surprising given the amount of processed foods that children consume. The second largest source of energy intake among children aged 2 to 19 years is processed snacks and sweets. The link between adequate nutrition and health is undeniable, especially for children, where the impact of nutrient deficiencies on growth and development is more likely to be lasting.
Children are not just miniature versions of adults, and inadequate nutrition is particularly important because children are considered an “at-risk” population when it comes to meeting their nutritional needs. Childhood is a period of rapid physical and cognitive growth that moves them from infancy to childhood and finally adolescence. Their needs are different. Although they are obviously smaller in overall body size than adults, children’s nutrient needs are proportionally higher, meaning they need more nutrients per kilogram of body weight than adults, and these needs change rapidly throughout the different phases of childhood. However, trying to get children to eat healthily can quickly become a clash of wills.
