Why are Nutrients Important?

A healthy, balanced diet is essential for your child to support their growth and development through each life stage.  If a child does not have enough nutrients in their diet, they may suffer from limited growth and even problems with their ability to learn1-4. Some children, who are lacking in the vital nutrients they need, may experience fatigue and be more likely to become sick5.
