Health Nutrition

• Schools Say No to Sugary Foods
• By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine
  Zeratsky, R.D.
• To boost student performance, some schools have
  declared themselves sugar-free meaning they
  dont allow sugar-laden foods, such as cookies,
  candies, birthday treats or sweet drinks. Some of
  these schools report not only improved school
  performance but also a decrease in disciplinary
  actions. The evidence supporting these results is
  mixed, but who can argue with reducing the sugar
  in kids diets?
• Well, some parents dislike being told what they
  can and cant pack in their childrens
  lunchboxes. And Ill admit that I have some mixed
  feelings on the issue too.

The Importance of Nutrition

• Nutrition for Children
• By Norma DeVault, PhD, MBA, RD, LD
• As a parent, you may be bombarded with confusing
  information about what and how much kids should
  eat. Your infant, toddler or teen is in a
  constant state of growth. His diet must provide
  enough calories and nutrients to support normal
  growth and development. Building bones to last a
  lifetime and steadily increasing blood volume and
  muscle mass takes energy and specific nutrients.
  We give nutritious food to every Childs during
  day care so it is very good for them.

The Importance of Nutrition

• Growth
• What your child eats affects his physical growth.
  An infants birth weight typically triples in the
  first year. Toddlers between the ages of 1 and 3
  years gain about 1/2 lb. and 0.4 inches in height
  per month, and preschoolers between the ages of 3
  and 5 years gain about 4.4 lb. and 2.75 inches
  per year. During the school years, your child
  will likely gain about 7 lb. and grow 2.5 inches
  in height, according to Judith Brown in
  Nutrition Through the Life Cycle. Doctors and
  dietitians use growth charts as one source of
  information in evaluating your childs
  nutritional status and overall health.
