Behavior

Nutrition certainly affects the child's physical health, but did you know it can also affect your child's behavior? Studies show that a poor diet may be associated with attention deficit disorder / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) due to preservatives, sugars and lack of thiamine found in many junk food.

Intelligence

In terms of cognitive ability, children who eat a healthy diet will be better able to concentrate in school, which means they can maximize their potential intelligence.

Dentistry

Children with poor diets tend to have poor dental health compared to children who eat healthy diets. The main problem with a diet low in relation to the teeth is the amount of refined sugar in junk food. The sugars feed bacteria in the mouth and cause cavities. In addition, processed foods, and carbonated beverages usually have a large amount of colorants in them, which can lead to staining.

Obesity

Most parents know that obesity is not a good thing for children. With a poor diet, the weight can be a problem, even if your child is very active. The key here is to replace bad fats and sugars, such as those found in soda, chips, candy and other junk foods with good fats like those found in olive oil, fruits and potatoes. Obesity can cause diabetes, sleep problems, high blood pressure and respiratory problems as well as problems that last into adulthood.
