Qivaro Health Diary [Children's Health | Beware of Childhood Malnutrition]

Causes of malnutrition

Poor eating habits and the types of food consumed are closely related to the nutrition children get. Insufficient food intake or food that doesn't provide enough nutrients can lead to malnutrition. Furthermore, many children today are picky eaters, making it even more difficult for them to get enough nutrition.

Effects/symptoms of malnutrition:

• Feeling tired

• Prolonged recovery time from infection/illness

• A decrease in white blood cells leads to a weakened immune system.

• Emotional instability

Parents should always consider their children's needs and preferences while ensuring that their children's diet is balanced and healthy. Sometimes, they can also supplement their children's diet with nutritional supplements to ensure that they get enough of the daily required nutrients.

Generally speaking, it is highly recommended to obtain the vitamins your body needs through natural means, or by using other nutritional supplements, to ensure your body has enough vitamins to take care of your health.
