Proper nutrition & a positive relationship with food from early childhood is conducive for the growth & development of your child. It reduces health issues & sets the foundation for a healthy adult life too.
It is also very important to understand that your child’s nutritional requirements get specific as they grow older & depend on factors like - age, gender, home environment, health issues (if any) & so on.
While as parents, you always strive to give your child healthy & nutritious meals; sometimes expert guidance from a nutritionist may be required too. Personalized meal plans for your child can become particularly important in cases such as:
- Childhood obesity
Excess weight at a young age can lead to multiple health issues. In such cases, food options with fewer calories but with all the essential nutrients are required.
- Food allergies/Intolerances
In case of any allergies (e.g nut allergies) OR intolerances (e.g gluten/lactose); suitable substitutes to such essential nutrients are needed so that the growth of the child is not hindered
- For Balanced diet
Did you know - boys above 10 years need more iron OR girls require fewer calories as they grow older. A personalized meal plan considers these factors & provides the right food combinations
- Health issues (e.g ADHD/Diabetes)
A personalized meal plan includes the vital nutrients required to reduce the negative effects of the health issues
