As kids progress from precocious toddlers to active youngsters, it gets increasingly difficult for mums and dads to monitor whether their children are consuming a healthy, balanced diet. Parents cannot be sure if their preschoolers finish up their meals at the childcare center; by the time the kids reach school age, they start to choose and buy foods that they enjoy eating which often tends to be sugary drinks & fried oily food.
Children need more of many key nutrients per kilogram body weight compared to an average adult as they experience rapid physical development, particularly of the brain. So, it is ever so important that children consume a balanced diet to ensure that they have all the right nutrients in the right amounts to support their growing years!
Despite young children requiring a more nutrient-dense diet in their growing years, surveys of children’s diet reveal that Singaporean children may not be eating a well-balanced diet. 1
As a brand that has helped Singaporean mums to nourish their children for over several decades, GROW® aims to help provide the right nutrition that children need in their daily lives. Including a nutritious beverage like GROW®, a growing-up milk in a healthy and well-balanced diet can help to achieve the daily nutritional requirements and provide important nutrients to support physical and mental development in children.
