GO, GLOW AND GROW FOODS
Young children can better develop and strengthen their body resistance if given the proper nutrition through the Go, Grow, and Glow basic food groups.
“Go” foods, for starters, are called as such because they provide energy to keep kids active and on the go. These consist of carbohydrate-rich foods such as sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread. Children lacking in this food group may tire easily and feel weak.
“Grow” foods, on the other hand, help build bones and teeth, strengthen muscles, and improve mental functions. Under this category are protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, fish, and dairy products such as milk.
Lastly, “Glow” foods help strengthen the body’s immune system to give protection against sickness and diseases. Vegetables belong to this group as well as fruits that are filled with vitamins A, C, E, B-6, zinc, and folic acid, like apples, oranges, dalandan, bananas, avocados, papayas, and pineapples. To make children appreciate eating these foods, parents can present them in an interesting manner, such as by cutting them into unique shapes or playing up the colours to liven up the dishes.
