Here are some of the most common myths that could impact a child's growth:


It’s normal for kids to be picky eaters.
Picky eating isn’t okay. Eating right today can support long-term growth and development.


Short parents will have short kids.
Height isn’t just about genetics. Nutrition, in the first 5 years, matters a lot to a child’s overall growth.


Plain porridge and soup are best for sick children.
These foods just aren’t nutritious enough. Kids need extra nutrition while recovering from illnesses.


Weaker children shouldn’t exert themselves.
Exercise makes the immune system stronger. Encourage 1 hour of active play a day, supported by a nutritious diet.


Kids can get appendicitis if they play after eating.
This is a common misconception. But a 30-min gap is recommended before play to aid digestion.


Underweight kids can eat what they like, as long as they eat.
Junk food helps with weight gain but, they are not healthy choices. Instead, choose a complete & balanced supplement to meet your child’s nutritional needs.

THE SCIENCE OF GROWTH
Picky Eaters and Catch-Up Growth

Children with picky eating behaviours may have nutritional gaps which could compromise growth and development.
Picky eaters have also been found to be lighter and shorter for their age, compared to non-picky eaters3. Many picky eaters need to catch-up on growth.
They Require:


Complete diet with right balance of protein, carbohydrate and healthy fat.


Vitamins and minerals to support normal growth and development.


An underweight child will require energy and nutrient-dense nutritional support to attain normal weight-for-height.


A child who has low height‑for‑age or low weight‑for‑height may benefit from complete and balanced nutrition that provides adequate protein for muscle tissue as well as the recommended intake of calcium, vitamins D and K for stronger bones.
Nutrition Support for Immunity


2 in 5 parents report that their child falls ill once every two months4. Frequent bouts of common illnesses like cough and flu divert precious nutrient resources to help a child recover and, over time, this may slow growth.
Providing a child with a nutrient-rich and complete, balanced diet may help strengthen immunity. Nutrients for immune support include vitamins A, B6, B12, C, iron, zinc and selenium.
