Raising Healthy Kids
Growing up is hard work , and a child has a special set of requirements to get the job done . Here are a few ways in which skids are different from you — and how you can give them what it takes to get big and strong .
Kids Dehydrate More Easily- Water makes up a greater proportion of a child ’ s body , and children have faster metabolisms , which means their systems need more water to run smoothly . If plain water doesn ’ t go over so well , try adding frozen fruit slices ( such as lemon , lime , or strawberry ). If your kids are doing a lot of sweating , watch for signs of dehydration , which can include light-headedness , nausea , and weakness . And when they are sick and losing fluid through diarrhea or vomiting , consult your pediatrician , who may recommend a replenishing electrolyte product .
They Needs More Physical Activity-The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that kids get at least 60 minutes of ageappropriate physical activity each day . According to several studies , exercise can strengthen kids ’ growing bones . Most effective are weightbearing exercises , like running around , dancing , and strength training — and hanging from monkey bars counts .
Kids Need More Fat and Calcium-Kids require plenty of fruits and vegetables , whole grains , and lean proteins . But very young children need a little more fat because they burn more body fat than adults do . Fat is essential for brain and nerve development . Kids also need more calcium , because childhood is a time of turbo bone growth . In fact , children ’ s bones grow so rapidly that breaks can heal in weeks , versus months for an adult .
Kids are More Sensitive to Environmental Toxins-Continued exposure to household chemicals and pollutants ( paint fumes , cleaners , insecticides ) isn ’ t good for anyone , but kids are especially vulnerable . A child ’ s lungs are still developing , so irritation caused by toxins can result in an obstruction in her airway , leading to issues like allergies and asthma . You may not be able to keep all chemicals out of your house , but when possible , opt for nontoxic cleaners without harsh ingredients , like ammonia and bleach .
They Need More Sleep-Adequate sleep is important for kids and adults . But for kids , who take in a great deal of new information daily , it ’ s crucial . Think of kids ’ brains as batteries that need to be recharged each day , Studies have shown that the brain consolidates networks for memory and learning during sleep , and that kids who don ’ t get enough are more likely to act impulsively and score lower on cognitive tests . Adequate sleep also promotes growth-hormone activity .
