Nutrition

 

Food is our nutrition. We use nutrients for energy and to build body cells. Some children are born with problems in getting certain nutrients from foods. Some children's health problems are treated with changes in diet.

 

Topics under nutrition include:

  • additives
  • feeding difficulty
  • low sodium diets for children
  • malnutrition
  • picky eater
  • rotation diet for allergies
  • total parental nutrition or TPN
  • weaning
