for Children
Children's nutrition containing large amount of sweet food, candies, and sweet soft drinks leads to poor immunity against infections, cariosity, obesity, disruption of bacterial equilibrium in intestines and thereby to irregular bowel movement, diarrhoea, constipation, but as well to eczema and disimmunity. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilles modify intestinal microflora and thus eliminate mentioned health problems leading by children to annoyance, moodiness, and to loss of vitality.
Proteins play the most important role in children's nutrition. In contrary to adults who need proteins only for “maintenance” of their body, children need proteins as a necessary basis of their growth. The need of group-B vitamins needed by the organism for getting the energy from food (vitamins B1, B2), for metabolism of proteins (vitamin B6), and for increased blood formation (vitamin B6, B12, folic acid) increases during puberty.
Vitamin C is another important vitamin necessary for example for healing of wounds, good absorption of iron, for protection against free radicals, and for healthy immune system of maturing child. The organism needs sufficient amount of calcium and magnesium for formation of bones and teeth in this period.
There should not be short of iron and zinc because they are needed for sexual maturation, metabolism of saccharides, proteins, and lipids. Zinc also soothes inflammatory diseases of skin during puberty together with vitamins B. When the child suffers by lack of zinc, it can be manifested in frequent waking up and cry. Iodine is no less important element scarcity of which is negatively reflected in developing brain and overall slow-down of development.
