Episode 95: Five important nutrients to focus on in kids.

Are you wondering whether your child is getting the nutrients they need to grow, learn and thrive? In this episode of The Easy Feed Podcast, I'm breaking down five of the most important nutrients I believe parents should be paying attention to. While every child is different, we know that some nutrient deficiencies are becoming more common, particularly in children with a limited diet, picky eaters, fussy eaters, or those who struggle to eat a wide variety of nutritious foods. I'll explain why these nutrients matter, the signs that your child may not be getting enough, and simple ways to support their intake through food first, while also talking honestly about when supplements can play an important role. My goal isn't to overwhelm you with nutrition science, but to help you feel more confident about supporting your child's health one step at a time. In This Episode The Five Nutrients Every Parent Should Know Discover why iron, vitamin D, zinc, fibre and omega-3s play such an important role in childrens nutrition and development.
