Title : Childhood Nutrition
Time :
Pages : None
Thesis statement :
Nearly 1 in 3 children in America is overweight or
obese. Despite all the focus on kids being overweight and obese, many parents
are still confused, especially when it comes to what kids eat.
Outline :
- How much does your child need?
- Is he/she getting enough calcium?
- Enough iron?
- Too much fat?
Pros :
During this stage of life, it's almost all about the
milk — whether it's breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two. Breast
milk or formula will provide practically every nutrient a baby needs for the first
year of life.
Toddlers and preschoolers grow in spurts and their
appetites come and go in spurts, so they may eat a whole lot one day and then
hardly anything the next. It's normal, and as long as you offer them a healthy
selection, they will get what they need.
Cons : None
Resolution :
Once you do start adding foods, don't go low-fat
crazy. Although the AAP guidelines state fat restriction in some babies is
appropriate, in general, you don't want to restrict fats under age two because
a healthy amount of fat is important for babies' brain and nerve development.
Author's opinion :
Although getting your child to eat healthy —
regardless of his or her age — can be a constant battle, its one well worth
fighting. A healthy child becomes a healthy adult, and only with your support
and guidance will your child be both.
Comment :
I agree with the writer, the parents of the children have to know how much nutrition children need.
