Child Malnutrition

In recent years, child nutrition has been the focus of attention due to the increase in overweight and obesity in the crucially important stage of the development of a child. Multiple studies demonstrate the insufficiency of recommended intakes with some of the nutrients, and that this has an impact on the growth, mental and emotional health and well-being of the child. That’s why it is fundamental that nutritionists update their knowledge in child nutrition.
