No single food will provide all the essential nutrients that the body needs to be healthy and function efficiently. The nutritional value of a person’s diet depends on the overall mixture, or balance, of food that is eaten over a period of time, as well as on the needs of the individual. A diet which includes a variety of different foods is most likely to provide all the essential nutrients. interesting dishes for children i)colourful plates ii)cute spoon , fork and cups iii)make the the dishes as colourful as possible , eg :putting colourful veggie or fruits into the food iv)put food as bright as possible :] what nutrients do children need ? i)energy : Energy is not a nutrient, rather the fuel that our body needs to function. The main sources of energy are carbohydrate, protein and fats. It is measured in kilojoules (metric) or calories (imperial) and there are 4.18 kilojoules to 1 calorie ii)water: Water is the most important nutrient and makes up around 66% of the body - without it we could only survive a few days. Water is used by our bodies for cooling and helps remove toxins in the urine and sweat. iii)vitamins: Most children eat diets that are adequate in Vitamins A and C. When children do not eat enough fruits and vegetables they run the risk of having low intakes of vitamins A and C. B Complex Vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and other B vitamins) come from a variety of foods, including grain products, meat and meat substitutes and dairy products. Generally, children do not have trouble getting adequate intakes of the B Complex vitamins cabohydratesand fats: Carbohydrates and fats provide energy for growing and physical activity. Their are times when children hit periods of rapid growth. At these times their appetites expand and they may appear to be constantly eating. When growth slows, appetites diminish and children will eat less food at meal times. They will require fewer snacks young children i)they are children from 3 to 6 years old ii)they need special diet to grow and develop well iii)they are active little children so they need enough carbohydrates and proteins to provide them with energy iv)their diet should not lack of any important diets ! the correct amounts needed for children i)the food cannot be served hot because they are young children , their teeth and tongue is very important to them , they need to be well taken care of ii)serve rice instead of porridge , they have teeth , it time to let them learn chewing and train muscle iii)cut meant into slice or small pices , it will be good if it is grind , they will not choke little children iv)served water instead of soda cause they are healthy , we need to train children to balanced diet since young. points needed to be taken care of when we are serving foods to young children ? -look after children when eating , you may not know what happen . -when children eating fish , keep a lookout for bones from fish -served warm , children will like it , stomach will like it too -put more fruit for children , as they easily constipation the dietary fibre in fruits can help in constipation nutritional tools such as healthy diet pyramid , Singapore nutitional dietary guidelines , ABCs , VMB The Pyramid is an outline of what to eat each day. It is not a rigid prescription, but a general guide that lets you choose a healthful diet that's right for you.The Pyramid calls for eating a variety of foods to get the nutrients you need and at the same time the right amount of calories to maintain or improve your weight.The Pyramid also focuses on fat because most Singaporeans diets are too high in fat, especially saturated fat. A Balanced Diet - The Pyramid Way Looking at the Pieces of the Pyramid The Healthy Diet Pyramid emphasizes foods from the four major food groups shown in the three lower sections of the Pyramid. Each of these food groups provides some, but not all, of the nutrients you need. Foods in one group cannot replace those in another. No one food group than another - for good health , you need them all . |
