I still remember how I was one of those “really difficult picky eaters” in my family. I don’t fancy any greens (even chickpeas!) on my plate. If there’s even a tiny bit of leafy vegetable in my food, I will refuse to eat it. And now, I’m experiencing this struggle with my own kids.
Convincing them to eat healthily or try new food is a battle for me almost every day. My husband and I are constantly worried about their health – whether they’re getting the essential nutrients for their proper growth and development or not.
To ease my worries and bridge the nutritional gaps in my kids, I would always make sure to serve them with the required nutrients that will help support their optimum growth and development.
If you’re still in doubt about the importance of providing your kids with optimal nutrition at a young age, here are some general info on picky eating that you should know:
FUN FACTS on Picky Eating
It’s no secret that it can be incredibly stressful and upsetting when we find ourselves throwing out yet another plate of our kids’ uneaten meals.
Feeding problem is very common and Malaysian mummies find it a constant struggle to feed their little picky eaters. They would get worried if their child is not getting the right amount of nutrients. But understand this: The situation is just as stressful for them as it is for you.
As mums, we try our best to provide our kids balanced and nutritious meals to support their overall development. After all, we’ll always find ways to feed them with the best because only when he’s a nourished kid, we’ll have complete peace of mind.
The Malaysian Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents recommend kids to take 2 to 3 servings of milk and milk products to complement a child’s daily diet. Thus, Sustagen® helps to supplement my kids with the nutritional requirement throughout their growth development.
For your information, Sustagen® is formulated with DHA, which is found abundantly in the brain, and contains important nutrients found in Food Groups from the Food Pyramid**, such as:
- Vitamin B1, B2 Niacin
- Calcium, Vitamin D, Magnesium
- Protein, DHA, Folic Acid & Zinc
What makes my kids and I love it even more is the fact that Sustagen®*** contains important key nutrients, such as protein, calcium, folic acid, zinc, iron, Vitamin A, B2, C, and E, which meet at least 80% of Malaysia Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) 2017.
Sustagen® also contains fiber (inulin), which helps increase intestinal bifidobacteria to help maintain a good intestinal environment. If you have a picky-eating kid as I do, give Sustagen® to your child every day as part of a balanced diet to help him get 100% nourishment*. You’ll thank me later for this low-stress strategy to get your kid get all the nutrients he needs.
