Good Nutrition For Children

View:

Doctors and Nutritionists talk about eating a Balanced Diet, but what is a Balanced Diet?The Nutritional Value in our food is made up of:

Proteins
Fats
Carbohydrates

We need good muscles to be able to digest the food we eat. Then we have muscles that keep us upright so that we can walk and run.

Now this Protein is made up of blocks that interlock to form amino acids.

What Foods Contain Protein?Most dairy products, for example Meat, Milk, Cheese, Fish and Eggs are called Complete Proteins.

Egg whites are a complete protein as well.

Vegetarians, Vegans and others who do not eat Meat, Dairy Products or Fish, must make sure to eat the above foods in order to keep healthy.

Carbohydrates are converted into sugars and starches within the body.

Sugars are found in Fruits, Milk and Soft Drinks and Sweets
Complex Carbohydrates are found in Whole Grain Cereals, Flour, Bread, Rice, Corn, Oats, Potatoes and Legumes.

Too much Carbohydrate will, if we are not active enough, turn into fat, which is what happens when we put on weight.

So the lesser evil would be to fill up on the Complex Carbohydrates like Whole Grain and Cereals. In other words plants and nuts. These have the added advantage of also providing us with Proteins, so we get two for the price of one.

Saturated Fats tend to increase Blood Cholesterol levels.

Polyunsaturated Fats are found mostly in Plant Sources, Safflower, Sunflower, Soybean, Corn and Cottonseed.

Monounsaturated Fats can be found in both plant and animal products such as Olive Oil and in Avocado Pears.

Fats are a concentrated form of energy that helps maintain body temperature and protect Body Tissues and Organs.

An Example of Calories Used When Being Active

With a Calorie Controlled Balanced Diet, you will have more energy and feel good about yourself as the pounds and inches disappear.

Good Nutrition For Children

Your dog is your best friend, you will want him to live the fullest, happiest life that he can. Feeding him the best food will not only ensure that he is healthy and happy, but has a shiny coat and lively tail too.

Many of our spoiled pets become fussy. It's a natural progression from being fussed over so much. If you have fussy dogs, like me, you will know how guilt laden mealtimes can become.

You want to give your dog the best advantage in life; why not consider cooking some specially prepared meals just for your dog. Whilst it is true that many owners can provide their dogs with adequate nutrition on a vegetarian diet, this is tricky and time consuming to accomplish. Buying a medium quality dog food and adding some extra goodness should be sufficient.

One of the best ways to ensure your dog is receiving optimum nutrition whilst living on medium quality pet food is to add some kind of nutritional supplement. This can ensure good nutrition at all times. One such proven source is NuVet.

A news release, Chattanooga, TN with Calvin Sneed (Consumer Advocate) reported a breeder in Tennessee got caught in the Diamond Dog food recall and 12 out of 14 dogs died. However the 2 that didn’t die were on NuVet. You can only buy this product from breeder referral. 1-800-474-7044. Referral number is 75855.

Read the labels of any dog food you buy carefully. Any of the foods you buy should contain turkey, beef, chicken or any other animal by-product to keep your dog looking healthy and glossy.

If you are changing your dog’s diet you are vulnerable to guilt-treating practices. Don't overcompensate for your dog’s fussiness. The quickest way your dog will learn to appreciate a new dog food is to be forced to make do with what is served up at mealtimes. Don't give treats or snacks because your dog isn't eating. This just encourages fussy eating and perpetuates the cycles of fussiness again. Be firm.

If you are trying to incorporate some home cooked goodness into your dog’s life you might need to include rice, corn, oatmeal or wheat. These are all excellent sources of carbohydrates. You will need to keep in mind that most of your dog’s most valuable proteins come from meat. Whilst many say that dogs are omnivores – they are still partially carnivorous.

If you have a dog be sure NEVER to give them the following:

•Chocolate

•Raw fish or eggs

•Onions

•Tomatoes

With careful attention and some patience you can revolutionize your dog’s diet. And hopefully help him live a long and healthy life.
