Parents’ Nutrition Confusion
Dr Rob Hicks and Yoplait registered dietitian Elphee Medici offers exclusive
advice on nutrition for your child
Being a parent these days isn’t easy. Not only do you have to be a chauffeur, a
counsellor, a cleaner and an expert chef but now you also have to be a
nutritionist as well. Although getting your child to eat 5 portions of fruit and
veg every day is important it’s not the only factor to consider when it comes to
your child’s diet. Research by Petits Filous shows that 9 out of 10 parents
think their child is getting enough calcium, but parents are unclear how much
calcium children actually need. 74% of parents wrongly believing that 2 portions
of dairy a day offers sufficient calcium for their child when in fact at least 3
portions of dairy every day will meet calcium needs to help develop strong
bones.
If you’re worried about whether or not your child is getting enough calcium,
click below to watch an exclusive video hosted by Dr Rob Hicks and Yoplait
registered dietitian Elphee Medici. They will talk you through ways of making
sure your child gets enough bone building calcium in their diet, explaining
which foods are good sources of calcium and how easy it is to meet all your
child’s daily calcium needs through three portions of dairy every day. As well
as all this Dr Rob Hicks will also be explaining the benefits of ensuring your
child gets plenty of calcium in their early years as well as hints and tips to
help your children develop strong healthy bones.
