How a Melbourne Nutritionist can help your Child

Children who don’t get enough healthy foods may face growth and developmental problems, poor academic performance and frequent infections.  They can also develop unhealthy eating habits that may persist into adulthood.  Fiona, as a qualified Melbourne nutritionist is able to help your child reach their full potential by investigating the food they eat.

 

Nutrition is vital for health and it can be defined as the science that establishes the relationship between what a child eats and their overall health and wellbeing.

 

To function properly, their body needs a balanced diet that gives them all the nutrients they need to thrive – at all stages of growth and development.

 

A balanced diet supples the nutrients the body needs to work effectively.  Without balanced nutrition, your child’s body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue and low performance.

To get the nutrition your child needs, Melbourne nutritionist Fiona, will focus on the following food groups:

Fresh fruit

Fresh vegetables

Wholegrains

Legumes

Nuts & Seeds

Protein
