The A B Z Of Our Nutrition Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Road to Good Nutrition All parents want their children to be well nourished. If this de sire is to be realized, the parents should have in mind a picture of what a well-nourished child is like and what their own child, with his particular heredity, is capable of attaining. If they will learn to recognize the characteristics of a well-nourished child, as a farmer or a housewife recognizes the characteristics of an excellent ear of corn or loaf of bread, they will be better able to direct their children along the road to good nutrition. If they have no standard by which to judge the child's nutrition they may think that it is good when in reality it is poor. A description of the well-nourished child is given in this bulletin, with a general outline of the care that should bring about this desirable condition. Some of the signs that indicate nutritional failure in a child are described, and the chief hazards to nutrition at various periods of a child's life are pointed out, so that parents, with the advice of their physician, may recognize and deal with these hazards. An effort has been made to give a general view of the problem of nutritional guidance throughout the period of growth, with special at tention to the continuity of the child's life. Throughout the bulletin emphasis has been put on the positive side of good nutrition and the methods of attaining it.
