Eating a healthy diet is essential for optimal health, growth and development. Eating a nutrient rich diet during childhood helps to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases later on in life including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and cancer.

It is widely understood and promoted that a child’s diet should include a diverse amount of different foods to nurture their growth and development. Diversity in a child’s diet also helps to ensure that your child gets all of the nutrients that they require.
