Child Development and Public Health Week 2

Nutrition for children helps build their bodies to grow in the appropriate way. Nutrition also help the child to digest their food when taught to chew their food instead of swallowing.  When the appropriate diet is given for the children they would not become obesity and will not have health problems at an early age.  Junk food can hurt children if it is eating a lot this can cause children to become diabetic and be on insulin.  This also can be control by a diet and exercise so that the child can still enjoy their life and not be on insulin for a long time.  Nutrition is good for children only if it has the appropriate food to help the child to become strong and the brains to function right.  I am glad that I did keep my son on a diet because of the illness in our family with sugar and I did not want him to become a diabetic at an early age.
