The right (or wrong) nutrients affect a child's sensory systems, learning, memory, attention, processing speed and more
Getting the right nutrients every day is vital for your kids to have a healthy life. The right nutrients provide energy for your little ones to run around and enjoy the day, keep them full – and stop them from getting too hangry.Getting the right nutrients can affect a child's memory, learning, attention and more. According to food charity, Charity Right, malnourished children are 19% less likely to be able to read by the age of eight and score 7% lower in maths.
And when children don't get the right nutrition, their brains won't function to the best of their ability.Nutritionist, Jenaed Brodell from Nutrition and Co shared that: 'As the deficiency worsens children become pale and weak, eat less, and tire easily. They gain weight poorly, have frequent respiratory and intestinal infections, and may develop pica.'
Which nutrients are vital to children's learning? Verena said that 'Minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium and iodine, vitamin D, B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids' are key.
