So drop your worries and come to us for the complete diet solution for your toddlers/kids/adolescents diet needs.

Children’s dietary and nutritional requirements differ from those of adults because they are still growing. Nutrients that are essential for growth become more important in children. However, making sure your child receives the proper nutrition on a daily basis can become a challenge, given factors such as allergies and the children’s basic likes and dislikes, for instance. Common nutritional problems associated with children include failure to thrive, refusal of foods, allergies and intolerances, iron deficiency anemia, and vitamin D deficiency.

Aversion to food

Food refusal is a big contributor to poor nutrition in children. Whether it is a dislike of certain colors or textures, some children are just picky. Sometimes  a child refuses to eat a variety of foods and limits herself to only one food or food group,  Making a rule that the child must at least taste each food on her plate is a good way to work around this. Food habits will change with time and, eventually, your child will begin to try other foods.

Food allergies and food intolerance

Food allergies can be common in children, with the most typical allergies being eggs, milk and nuts. Gluten and lactose intolerances can also be a factor. If your child has an allergy, this can affect his ability to get certain nutrients. For example, milk allergy or lactose intolerance can affect the calcium intake of your child. So in this case knowledge of other easily available sources of calcium helps and sometimes a supplement becomes a necessity.

Iron Deficiency 

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. A diet lacking in iron is the most common cause of anemia, and it often occurs in young children, usually between the ages of 9 and 24 months, whose diet consists of a lot of milk and not a lot of iron-rich foods. Cow’s milk reduces the body’s ability to absorb iron and can cause the intestines to lose a small amount of blood, which further reduces the red blood cells. Foods rich in iron include meats, fish, poultry, egg yolks, legumes, whole grain breads, raisins, black currants and green leafy vegetables.

Due to nutritional deficiencies kids can suffer from many common ailments that affect their overall growth.
