Children are very energetic and grow rapidly. They should have plenty of bodybuilding and energy foods to allow for these needs. However, our rushed,modern lifestyle can mean reliance on convenience foods and snacks, which do not give them sufficient amounts of the necessary vitamins - the nutrients essential for building young bodies.
Other things can stop a child from getting essential micronutrients - 'junk foods', poor appetite, irregular meals, poor eating habits.
As we grow older, our eating habits can become irregular and so it can be necessary to supplement our diet in order to ensure we are getting all of our daily nutritional requirements.
