Recent research shows that nourishing food not only makes a child healthier, it makes him or her more emotionally stable and improves school performance. Adults need to make sure children are eating from all the food groups. Children do not always choose to eat from all the food groups every day (grain, vegeta-bles, fruit, protein, dairy), but parents need to notice when children are neglecting a food group over a prolonged period of time. www.choosemyplate.gov provides the dietary guideline recommendations for children and adults based on age, gender, and activity level. On the website you can access Super Tracker to help you plan, analyze, and track individual diet and physical activity to find what and how much you should eat.
