The Essential Nutrients
Did you know? Darkly colored vegetables and fruits such as pumpkins have high levels of beta-carotene in them.
Beta-Carotene found in colorful fruits and vegetables may protect your child’s cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, and enhance his immune system. Found in darkly colored vegetables and fruits such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkins—the recommended daily intake of beta-carotene for a child is 3-6 milligrams, equivalent to 1 cup of papaya cut into cubes.
Alpha-Linolenic acids (Omega 3) is an Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) that aids in bodily functions including vital organ functions and intracellular activities. This nutrient is used by the body for the improvement of formation of cell walls, improving circulation and oxygen uptake in the brain—aiding its development. Foods like, sesame seeds, avocados, dark leafy vegetables, soybean oil, wheat germ oil, salmon, and mackerel are rich with Omega 3.
Linoleic Acids (Omega 6), also an EFA, plays a crucial role in brain development as well as normal growth and development. A healthy source of Omega 6 can be acquired from corn, soybean, pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts, sunflower seeds (raw), olive oil, olives, evening primrose oil, chestnut oil, and chicken.
Serve your child 1-2 servings of salmon or tuna in a week and ensure sufficient intake of DHA and essential fatty acids.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is critical for optimal development and function of the brain, eyes, and central nervous system. Salmon and tuna are great sources of DHA. It’s recommended for children to eat 1-2 servings of fish throughout the week, which converts to a healthy daily intake of DHA and EFA.
Oligosaccharides are starches that the human body cannot fully digest. Undigested oligosaccaride is important for the digestive system—reducing the population of harmful bacteria while increasing the number of friendly bacteria in the colon. Leeks, onions, asparagus, soybeans can provide oligosaccharides.
Sialic Acid (SA) is a natural breast milk carbohydrate found abundantly in the brain and central nervous system. It can facilitate early brain development and faster learning in your child and is important in his brain development. Whey protein, and chicken eggs are non-human sources of SA.
Nucleotide is the building blocks of DNA—play a role in stimulating learning ability, suppression of diarrhea, and development of a strong and healthy immune system. Nucleotides are found in natural foods like fish, poultry and meat.
Taurine often referred to as an amino acid, helps generate nerve impulses, fat absorption, stabilize cell membranes, with detoxifying activities especially the eyes and lungs. Taurine, found in eggs, dairy products, meat and fish, can be manufactured by the adult body.
Biotin helps to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and amino acids. It also helps the nervous system to function properly and is essential for healthy hair, nails, skin, eyes and liver. Biotin can be found in cheese, cauliflower, eggs, mushrooms, chicken breasts, salmon, spinach, and nuts. It can also be manufactured by the body should a shortage occur.
Choline assists in controlling cholesterol levels and also body weight. It keeps cell membranes healthy and is most useful in the maintenance of the nervous system, aiding in memory and learning. Choline can be found in egg yolks, beef, wheat germ, oats and nuts. The recommended amount for children of 3-7 years old is 200-250 milligrams. This amount can be acquired from 2 whole eggs.
