Millions
of children and teens are heading back to school. While most parents
plan ahead for clothes, school supplies and books, the new school year
is also an opportunity to rethink and reenergize childrens’ nutrition.
Good nutrition and learning go hand-in-hand, because a healthy breakfast
and lunch provide your child with the fuel he/she needs to stay focused
throughout the day.
Protein
at every meal, especially breakfast, is essential to help fuel children
for all activities throughout the day. In fact, protein at breakfast
can help keep kids feel fuller longer so they can make the most of their
morning. Packed with nine essential nutrients, including protein, in
each glass, milk is a delicious, easy and affordable way to give your
kids protein plus other nutrients they need. In fact, an 8-ounce glass
of milk has 8 grams of high-quality protein.
Working
mom and pediatrician, Dr. Tanya Altmann, knows it can be hard for kids
to get nutrients they need to grow up strong without milk. Many kids are
even falling short on important nutrients including calcium, vitamin D
and potassium that milk is rich in. During this interview, Dr. Tanya shared easy nutrition tips for families.
Pediatrician Dr. Tanya Remer Altmann is the co-author of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child.
