Nutrition and Your Children |
|
Nutritious food is the foundation of healthy growth in young people It is crucial that what we give our children a balanced diet without relying too heavily on food groups that can cause problems if over-supplied. This is more important than ever since physical activity levels are generally dropping in the Western World, meaning that unless we exercise care there is a much greater probability of obesity and its anterior conditions (such as Diabetes and heart disease) affecting our children further down the line. The BBC Health Website has compiled a series of articles that offer an understandable but robust viewpoint on nutrition and young people.
