Why is children’s nutrition so important?

Good nutrition is essential for children’s growth and development. It helps them to:

  • Reach their full physical and mental potential
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Boost their immune system
  • Reduce their risk of chronic diseases

What are some of the challenges of feeding children healthy foods?

There are a number of challenges that parents face when trying to feed their children healthy foods. Some of the most common include:

  • Picky eaters: Many kids are picky eaters, and it can be difficult to get them to try new foods.
  • Convenience: It can be difficult to find time to cook healthy meals, especially when you’re busy working or taking care of other children. (KOKO Plus® is convenient to use)
  • Cost: Healthy foods can be more expensive than processed foods.
  • Peer pressure: Kids are often influenced by their friends’ eating habits, and they may be more likely to eat unhealthy foods if their friends are doing the same.

How can I overcome these challenges?

You can do several things to overcome the challenges of feeding your kids healthy foods. Here are a few tips:

  • Be patient and persistent: It may take some time for your child to accept new foods. Keep offering them new foods, and don’t give up if they don’t like them right away.
  • Make healthy foods convenient: There are a number of ways to make healthy foods more convenient. For example, you can cook meals in bulk and freeze them for later, or you can buy pre-cut fruits and vegetables.
  • Add KOKO Plus® to foods for children aged 6 months and above to enrich the food with essential nutrients. KOKO Plus® is a protein and micronutrient supplement.
  • Set a good example: Children learn by watching the adults in their lives. Ensure you’re eating healthy foods and have a positive attitude towards healthy eating.
  • Talk to your child’s doctor: If you’re concerned about your child’s nutrition, talk to their doctor. They can give you personalized advice and help you develop a plan to feed your child healthy foods.
