I have seen kids on tv who experience malnutrition. I was alarmed seeing them suffer from it. The malnourished children stop development not only in their physical appearance but also their brain development is also affected. Studies show that children who are malnourished don’t participate well in school. At a very young age they have tuberculosis of the bones and other complications. They lack protein.

As parents we are responsible for the well-being of our children. At a very young age, we should introduce fruits, vegetables and  fish rather than fatty foods, junkfoods, softdrinks,etc. I just learned that fish is rich in omega 3 and protein.

I don’t want my children to be malnourished so I’ll try my best give them the right kind of food. To see if your child is growing up healthy you can check his or her weight using the Ideal Body Weight Calculator.
