HEALTHY NUTRITION FOR SMARTER KIDS

It has long been known that a healthy nutrition can prevent various diseases and health problems later in life, but did you know that feeding your kids a healthy diet from the moment of conception until they are two years old significantly increases their physical and cognitive abilities?

Research has shown that unhealthy food a mother eats during pregnancy and feeds the child for the first couple of years can lead tostunned growth and reduced cognitive functions.

Poor nutrition is also linked to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular problems.

Nutrition that is rich in vitamins A, C and D, calcium, protein, iron and folic acid is considered healthy during this period. Mothers who make sure their children receive these nutrients can influence their children’s eating habits in later life, promote the development of a stronger immune system and reduce the risk of health complications their children could face when older.
