Why do children need vitamins?
Why do children need "food insurance"?
Imagine it... on any dinner table. Nutritious meals full of colorful foods, lovingly planned, sourced, bought and cooked in precise nutrient ratios, with the right combination of flavors and textures to appeal to everyone, before being plated to perfection and right then ... it begins. The capricious nature of little people appears, the squinting, the sniffing, the digging in the plate, the wrinkling of the nose, the teenage looks (even in the smallest children) followed by "Pffff" and "I'm not going to eat that!" Finding a balance between what your kids want to eat and what they will eat is often a delicate process, even with what we call "picky kids"! Frustrated parents around the world are increasingly concerned that their children are not getting the nutrients they need. And their concerns are real!
Even in the developed countries of the world, where an epidemic of childhood obesity is raging, simply consuming enough or even too many calories does not ensure that adequate levels of nutritional micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are consistently provided. Recent large-scale data on children in developed countries show that 1 in 4 children have an inadequate intake of at least 1 nutrient, with the risk for girls being higher than for boys. This is not surprising considering the amount of processed foods that children consume. The second largest source of energy intake among children aged 2 to 19 years is processed snacks and sweets. The link between adequate nutrition and health is undeniable, especially in children, where the impact of nutrient deficiencies on growth and development is more likely to be permanent.
Children are not just miniature versions of adults, and inadequate nutrition is particularly important because children are considered an "at-risk" population when it comes to meeting their nutritional needs. Infancy is a period of rapid physical and cognitive growth that moves them from infancy to childhood and finally to adolescence. Their needs are different. Although they are obviously smaller in overall body size than adults, the nutrient requirements of children are proportionally higher, meaning that they require more nutrients per kilogram of body weight than adults, and these requirements are change rapidly during the different phases of childhood. But trying to get kids to eat healthy can quickly turn into a clash of wills.
