Pediatric Nutrition


Pediatric nutrition includes proper balanced diet consisting of the necessary nutrients and the suitable caloric intake required to promote growth and withstand the physiologic necessities at the numerous stages of a child's growth. Pediatric nutritional needs vary with respect to age, level of activity, and environmental conditions which are directly related to growth. Breastfeeding has important ingredients to build the baby’s immune system. Pediatric nutrition must consist of essential vitamins and minerals for the growth and development. Proteins are the basic units required for the construction of the body muscles and in all the metabolic activities of the body. To increase the calcium level intake, dairy products are desirable.
