We have all heard the statement, you can get all your nutrients from food. But is that true especially when it pertains to children\u2019s diets? We looked at the research and found that it is very difficult to get even the basic daily requirement of most vitamins and minerals from the standard North American diet, especially if you are a growing child.<\/p>\n

The Journal of Nutrition looked at dietary intakes of vitamins and minerals from diet alone in over 34,381 people surveyed. More than 70 percent of children ages one to 13 were not consuming adequate nutrients from their diet. The researchers discovered that diet alone was not providing optimal nutrient intake except for the mineral zinc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A U.S. study in four elementary schools located in upper socio-economic communities found that nutrient consumption from diet alone was very low. Up to forty-five percent of children were not eating enough calcium to prevent osteoporosis, let alone to build strong bones. Seven out of 10 children had inadequate vitamin D intake which is necessary for optimal bone and immune health, to prevent some cancers and autoimmune diseases. No children met the recommended intake for potassium, vitamin E and vitamin K necessary for optimal heart health. This study showed that even in affluent communities, intake of nutrients from diet alone was not adequate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kidstarnutrients.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kids-school-lunch.jpg” alt=”a group of kids eating a healthy lunch at school” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Journal of the American College of Nutrition reported that dietary intake of nutrients in children aged four and older was below the basic requirements for vitamins A, C, D and E as well as calcium and magnesium.

Fruits and vegetables are grown in soils that have been depleted of nutrients from over farming. Foods are transported long distances and stored for extended periods of time, all reducing the nutritional content.<\/p>\n We eat refined and highly processed foods which have had the nutrients removed during the milling process. For example, eating white rice and white flour that have had the nutrient-rich outer layer removed instead of consuming brown rice or whole grains. To make up for this processing, nutrients are being added back into foods in a process called fortifying\u2014read the label of your child\u2019s breakfast cereals. However, the research we reviewed has shown fortifying foods does not make up for the loss of the nutrients normally found in their wholefood form.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Growing children have increased nutritional needs.
