Healthy eating is essential for your child’s good health, growth and development.
Healthy eating in childhood means they will have less chance of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It will also mean they feel better and enjoy life more.
To stay healthy and maintain a healthy weight, children need to be physically active and eat the right amount of nutrients to balance the energy they use.
The children should enjoy a wide variety of foods from these 5 food groups:
- Fruits
- Vegetables, legumes and beans
- Cereals (including breads, rice, pasta and noodles), preferably wholegrain
- Lean meat, fish, poultry and/or alternatives
- Milks, yoghurts, cheeses and/or alternatives (children under 2 should have full-fat milk, but older children and adolescents can have reduced-fat varieties).
Children should limit their intake of foods that contain saturated fat, added salt or added sugar. They should also be encouraged to choose water to drink.
So eating healthy food is mandatory for child overall growth.
