The Importance of Nutrition During the Early Childhood Years

by Amit Gupta Education Blogger

Nutrition lays the foundation for life. Without balanced nutrition, the growth process of the children gets distracted. From nourishment to replenishment, every physiological process depends on the nutrition a child takes. The primary source of nutrition always remains food, and healthy food surely ensures balanced nutrition supportive of health and growth.

Children can be choosy while selecting the food items, and in the process, a bountiful of nutrition may get lost. Therefore, it is essential that due attention is paid to the choice of food rather than the quantity of food taken by children. Nutrition, health, and learning share a close bond that cannot be denied. Therefore, for every child, nutrition plays critical in determining the level of concentration, comprehension, and learning.

Studies have also revealed that what a child eats makes for the foundation of tomorrow. Hence, nutrition not only guarantees a healthy today but also secures a sound tomorrow. Here are some factors we, at Junior DPS, believe make balanced nutrition during the early childhood years indispensable for every child.

At Junior DPS, ranked among the Top 10 Preschool Franchise in India, we make sure that every child becomes aware of the necessity of good eating habits. When they are at school, practicing healthy eating habits during lunch hours along with other children helps the kids cope with the notion of healthy eating easily, and this community move makes the practice standard in their lives. When at home, we would like to suggest the parents to stay focused on the quality of food the kids are consuming. Try to keep them away from the junk food as much as possible as it is this age when the foundation for their life ahead will be laid, and nutrition plays a very important role there. And we are very much sure you certainly wouldn’t want them to have a weak base. Do you?
