Document Summary
Both the height and the weight goes up during the years. Averages mask great individual differences in height and weight. In south korea, people are on average 2 inches taller than those in north korea, likely from nutrient availability; starving versus fed. Children in families with low income are more likely to be unusually short compared to affluent families. Preschoolers require less food than when infants but still need a lot. Children often very good at regulating caloric intake. Not getting enough food vs getting too much. Prevalence of obesity has increased significantly during the last 20 years. Parents often don"t know what good stuff is! Provide children a variety of foods, low in fat and high in nutritional and iron content. Allow development of natural food preferences in kids. More variety = kids actually will eat more food and decide what they like. Iron is very important as a deficiency is associated with chronic fatigue.
