Nutrition is vital for children's growth and development. Fats are necessary for brain health and come from oils, nuts, and meats. Fiber, found in plant foods like brown rice and fruits, aids digestion and can prevent diseases. Proteins from beans and dairy are crucial for bodily functions and muscle building. Carbohydrates, categorized as simple or complex, provide energy. Hydration is key, as water facilitates bodily functions. Vitamins and minerals support overall health, each serving unique roles. A balanced diet ensures kids meet their nutrient needs.
