April is Childhood Nutrition Month.
Why should we focus on childhood nutrition? Nutrition plays a critical role in childhood development. It’s a time when nutritional needs are heightened to support rapid growth and cognitive development. The foundation of lifelong health is often laid during these formative years, making childhood nutrition critically important. Understanding the nutritional needs of children, the common problems that may arise, and the consequences of nutrition deficiencies is essential for fostering a healthy, thriving generation.
Nutritional Needs in Childhood
Children require a balanced intake of nutrients to fuel their development. This includes macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for energy, growth, and cellular repair, as well as micronutrients—vitamins and minerals such as calcium for bone growth, iron for blood production, and vitamins A, C, and D for immune function and vision, among other physiological processes.
“The nutritional needs of a child may vary with age, gender, and activity level, but the goal remains constant: to support healthy physical and cognitive development,” says Dr. Freddie Ulan, founder of Nutrition Response Testing® a safe, non-invasive method of determining the exact nutrient needs for an individual.
