Children's Nutritional Needs and Requirements
Description:
During the critical childhood years, the protective nutritional groundwork for adolescence and adulthood is laid. Yet many children - even healthy eaters - face potential nutritional gaps.
Consider these facts:
National surveys indicate that the diets of American children and adolescents are lacking in several essential nutrients, such as iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, carotenoids and other protective nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.
Pound for pound, growing children have extra-high nutritional needs for those nutrients that contribute to growth.
Because children's cells divide and grow rapidly, all 22 amino acids involved in human nutrition are needed to provide the protein "Building Blocks" necessary for cellular replacement and repair.
Antioxidant nutrients boost the immune system, which helps the body resist illness and disease.
Chemical and physical compounds in our air, water, and food can damage cells an compromise a child's development. Optimal levels of antioxidant and detoxifying nutrients can boost children's natural defense systems.
Even a healthy diet may have nutritional gaps.
Children's "Feel Better" Program
Good nutrition begins with a healthy, balanced diet. Complete nutrition, however, occurs only when individual cells actually receive the nutrients they need. GNLD NeoLife focuses on the health of each individual cell, providing the nutrients necessary to sustain optimum cellular function and protect against oxidation damage. Bridge your child's diet "gaps". Assess your child's eating habits and preferences to determined what he/she will need.
If your child loves oranges and eats two or three a day EVERY day, a Vitamin C supplement may not be necessary.
If Junior won't drink milk and doesn't eat much dairy, consider calcium supplementation. (Unfortunately, soft drinks have replaced milk as many kids' favorite beverage, which may significantly reduce the amount of calcium in their diets.)
If your children eat less than 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, they're missing the protective benefits of nutrients found in these whole foods. Until they're old enough to supplement with Carotenoid Complex™, choose from the recipes in the NouriShake section for tasty and carotenoid-rich NouriShake® treats!
Fiber is another dietary essential that kids - like their parents - may not get enough of.
GNLD NeoLife fiber supplements make it easy to meet the fiber challenge.
STAGE I - when a child is comfortable drinking from a cup.

STAGE III - when a child can safely swallow tablets and capsules.
