NUTRITION IN CHILDHOOD.
INTRODUCTION.

Because children are growing and developing bones, teeth, muscles and blood, they need more nutritious food in proportion to their weight in comparison to an adult.

Malnutrition, hence becomes very common when they have a prolonged poor appetite, or are fed with a limited number of foods which may be nutritionally poor foods.

NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INFANTS.
The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) are based on the current knowledge of nutrient intakes needed by children of different ages for optimal health.
