Preschoolers need the right type and amount of food to enable them grow. The right amount of nutrients should be served. For example, preschoolers need vitamins to develop their immunity against diseases and serving then with green vegetables will provide them with this. Carbohydrates are necessary to ensure that the body gets the energy it needs to take care of everyday needs. Feeding your child with cereals will provide the necessary energy.
However, right amount of fats and some micronutrients are required by the body to develop. Foods with too much sugar and chunk foods which include deep fried rations should not be served to preschoolers.
