Nutrition And Your Baby - Getting It Right From The Beginning

By Louise Green

Every parent wants to provide the most nutritious food for their growing baby. That simply goes without saying. A baby's system is smaller and more fragile than those of adults. And development of their central nervous system, bones, immune and hormonal systems need optimum nutrients.

Babies are also more susceptible to toxins in the environment and poorly processed baby foods. If you're not a parent with lots of spare time to make your own baby food from scratch (most of us are forced to multi task all day), there are lots of excellent options. Many baby food companies now produce baby food with quality and even organic ingredients. Organic means that the food is grown without the use of pesticides and in a certain way to insure that that were no chemicals or preservatives used in the processing of the food. Some also avoid foods that have been genetically modified. Many adults prefer eating this way - I know I do.

Why not instill good nutritional habits in your baby and children? Especially when too many kids have been acclimated to eating fast food, there's such a need to steer them away from this style of eating. Look at the statistics of overweight children in the country in recent years. There's a huge health benefit to avoiding fast food and let's not forget the packaged foods that are loaded with chemicals, saturated fats, and sodium levels that are through the roof. Just read the ingredient labels and you'll see what I mean.

Most supermarkets across the country are jumping on the organic bandwagon, making healthy foods not only very available but also price competitive with specialty and health food stores. You can find them next to the other typical baby food brands on the shelves or in the health food isle or section of the supermarket. Reading the ingredient label, you`ll find that there's no added sugar, salt, additives, or preservatives. After all, you do want the best and most nutritious foods anyway - so why not choose the best baby food companies that care about the quality of the products they make?
