Description

We want the absolute best for our kids, but it can be challenging to make sure they’re eating a full spectrum of nutrients each day. Kids may go through phases of picky eating, have food intolerances, or sometimes life gets too busy for us to preparebalanced meals every day. 

Kids with deficiencies in vitamins and minerals have been shown to be at increased risk for a variety of health conditions throughout their lifespan, including learning difficulties, obesity, diabetes, asthma, and osteoporosis¹.

Kids need calcium and vitamin D to make sure their bones and teeth are strong², and vitamin A and C for skin and organ development³. Kids need B vitamins to be able to effectively convert food into fuel so that they can grow and feel energized throughout the day^3,4.

Healthy cognitive development isimportant as kids learn and cultivate memories. Choline is required for regulating memory, mood, and supporting brain development⁵, and B vitamins are important for a healthy nervous system and a balanced mood⁴.

As they grow, kids are also developing a healthy immune system, so boosting vitamins A, C, D, and E helps to ensure they are able to fight off infection^3,6 and limit the need for antibiotics.

Dr. Hilary’s Tips for Healthy Nutrition in Kids

• Make family meals a priority. Kids benefit from watching adults eat the same foods they’re eating⁷. Set a good example for your kids and they’ll follow in your footsteps.

• Educate kids about why they need to eat a wide variety foods. Understanding that broccoli has calcium for building strong bones, and carrots to make our vision sharp encourages kids to make healthier choices.

• Ask them why they don’t like certain foods. Sometimes changing things like texture, temperature or seasoning is all it takes for kids to change their minds.

• Try, try again! Kids may need to try foods ten times before they like it. Our palates are also constantly evolving, so what they didn’t like three months ago might become a child’s new favourite food when encouraged to try it again.

• Treat the cause. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to improve your child’s digestion, immune system, and cognitive development. Ask for lab work to see if your child is low on nutrients like iron and vitamin D or has an under or overactive thyroid.

We want the absolute best for our kids, so it is important to make sure they are getting a full spectrum of the vitamins and minerals they need to grow and develop in a strong and healthy way.

Whether be due to dietary restrictions, picky eating, or because sometimes life gets busy, there are many reasons that it can be challenging to make sure our kids are getting balanced, nutrient-rich meals every day.
