A healthy diet helps children grow and learn. It also helps prevent obesity and weight-related diseases such as diabetes.
Building a nutritious diet
| Do | Instead of |
|---|---|
| Make half the plate fruits and vegetables | |
| Choose healthy proteins — lean meat, nuts, eggs | |
| Serve whole-grain breads and cereals, which are high in fiber | Refined grains (cut back) |
| Broil, grill or steam foods | Frying |
| Offer water or milk | Sugary fruit drinks and sodas |
| Keep fast food and junk food limited |
Needs change with age
Learn about your child's nutrient requirements. Some — such as the needs for iron and calcium — change as children grow.
