Juice Plus is a highly researched whole food supplement, does the medical field recommend FOOD supplements for children since most kids dont eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables in which ill health is related to poor nutrition? |
|
Actually, there are no unbiased studies comparing Juice Plus+ and fruits and vegetables. If there is concern about a child having a vitamin or mineral deficiency, he or she should have their diet evaluated by their physician or a pediatric registered dietician. |

How do I know if my 4 year old is eating enough? She is very active but eats very little at mealtime. |

This is a very common concern of many parents. The reality is that many of our young children are picky eaters. The simple answer to your question is your child’s growth curve. Every time your child goes to the doctor for her physical examination her height and weight are plotted on a standard growth curve. This gives you and your physician all the information in a quick glance. If your child’s linear growth and weight are consistent on that curve, parents should know that at least your child is consuming enough calories. With this in mind, parents should always request to see their child’s growth curve and begin their discussion with their child’s doctor after reviewing this chart together. However, despite your child getting enough calories it is often prudent to start a child who is particularly picky and not consuming a wide variety of foods on a multivitamin. |
