Q: Why is good nutrition so important for children?
A: Children need good nutrition because their bodies are growing and developing. Yet many children simply cannot resist the appeal of junk food, like calorie-heavy candy bars and sugar-filled soft drinks. Their diets tend to be high in sugar and starch, depleting their bodies of essential nutrients required for optimal growth and energy. Starting your kids out right with healthy foods that appeal to them develops good eating habits that carry into adulthood.
Q: Do children benefit from vitamin supplements?
A: Absolutely. Even the most nutritionally aware parents cannot be 100% certain what nutrients are in the foods they serve their children. That?s why a good quality multivitamin is necessary to ensure that they are getting the vitamins and minerals they need. For example, Herbalife MultiVites provide iron for healthy red blood cells, as well as the minerals calcium and magnesium, which are crucial for healthy bones, nerves and muscles. MultiVites are also an excellent source of zinc, which is important for normal growth and development.*
Q: Is snacking always bad for children?
A: No. Healthy snacking can be a great way to supplement your child?s nutrition and give them the energy they need when they come home from school or before playing in team sports. Healthy snacks include colorful fruits and vegetables, celery and wholegrain crackers. Additionally, Herbalife Kids Shakes provide essential vitamins, minerals and fiber, as well as 15 grams of protein to satisfy their hunger throughout the day
