SMART STEPS : UNCOVER THE POWER OF NUTRITION TO YOUR CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT

===============================

One of the most wonderful things about being a father/mother is to watch children grow and see them

achieve every milestone along their developmental path.

An important part of early childhood growth is cognitive development, or mental development.

Basically, what I know cognitive or mental development is refer to terms of information processing, language learning, perceptual skill conceptual resources and other aspects of brain development or as a common thing every parents should know it is the emergence of the ability to think and understand.

Do you know that nutrition is important for your child’s continuous growth and development throughout the childhood period?

I’ve wrote a little bit about the specific nutrients are needed for the growth in my last 1st blog post about UNCOVER THE POWER OF NUTRITION TO YOUR CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT Part1

Smart Steps: Uncover the Power of Nutrition to your Child’s Development

2:42 AM

Do you know that it is important to tailor your child's nutrition?

According to SEANUTS or Southeast Asian Nutrition Surveys, nutrition has an impact on a child’s smartness or IQ.
As children develop mentally in stages, it is important for parents to monitor their developmental milestones and help them grow better and smarter by providing the appropriate nutrients at each stage.

Why is Nutrition plays in important role for our children early development?

As a mother, I always concerned about my children stomach needs, am I ? What I know not only my children need to have the good nutrition but I am as an adult need it too. For me good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle to promote the optimum development of the physical, mental, intellectual, social and emotional aspects.

With a good balance nutrition my children consume can reduce the risk of chronic diseases examples like heart disease and cancer.

Basically, nutrition is a process of providing the food necessary for health and growth. Nutrition is a complete nutritional cellular concept to cleanse the digestive system such as colon to improve the absorption of nutrients from the diet, repair and revitalize damaged cells adding on to promote the growth of new cells.

Perfect Nutritional characteristics must including the carbohydrates, proteins, Vitamins A B C D E, Fibres, Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron & B12 which can be found in healthy balance meals in daily lives.

Carbohydrates are really important for our children to provides them energy to keep active throughout the day.
Proteins are equipped with 9 essentials amino acids for growth and repair of the body tissues
Vitamin A,C,E are rich with anti-oxidants to maintain the baby’s skin, repair and protect the cells from the free radical damage.
Fibres help for digestion system and prevent constipation
Vitamins B improve the attention and focus plus its maintain the healthy nerves
Sodium & Magnesium help maintain the water balance in body and reduce fatigue
Vitamin C helps fight the infection of bacterias and really great for the teeth, gum and skin
Vitamin A is a necessary for the health of epithelium ( outer cell layer ) of the cornea and conjunctiva ( the soft mucous membrane that covers the front and inside of the eyelids )
Calcium is an important for the health and children’s bone formation.
Vitamin D is an essential for the optimal calcium absorption
Iron & B12 important for the construction of the red blood cells

Incomplete nutrition not only affects the healthy lifestyle but can give negatives impact on our children’s life future.
Children with LOW healthy immune system will experiencing many bad symptoms such as

frequent headaches
vomits and diarrhea
persistent cough and sneeze
abdominal pain
growth might stunt because not enough the important nutrients.

The unhealthy nutrition can cause obesity that can lead to other chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease and etc.
To be honest as a parent, I will freak out if my children always sick all the times because their sickness will be my affliction too. That’s why nutrition is really important for my children to keep they growing healthy and no diseases would like to attack their body and immune system.

Because I am not an expertise in the Nutritionist, I would like to inform you that
