What nutrients do children need?
An easy way to ensure that children get the nutrients they need is by choosing healthy foods for them to eat.
Choose lean protein from sources such as poultry, beans, seafood, nuts and seeds.
Eat fresh, canned, or frozen fruits and vegetables every day. Look for canned and frozen options without added fats or sugars. Fruits should be in 100% juice or water.
Choose whole grain foods such as breads, cereals, and pastas that are high in fiber.
Look for low fat dairy such as milk, cheese, and yogurt for adults and kids in your family. Babies should not have dairy products till they’re one year old. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends whole milk for babies 12 to 24 months, unless your infant is gaining too much weight. Ask your doctor if you’re not sure.
It’s also important to limit added and refined sugars, refined grains, sodium, trans, fats, saturated fats, and foods that are low in nutrients.
