Overview
Proper nutrition and regular exercise are important at any age, but even more critical in children, who not only have growing and changing needs, but are also forming habits that last a lifetime. Major issues range from childhood obesity to hunger and malnutrition.
Children's bodies are different than adults and they have different nutritional needs. While items high in refined sugar are not recommended, some artificial sweeteners also may not be appropriate for children. Complex carbohydrates and healthy fats and oils play an important role in childhood development. Children should get enough fiber, vitamin C and other nutrients they need for their overall health.
