In this episode of The JCN Clinic Podcast, Jessica is joined by Melanie Fenwick. Melanie dives deep into the complexities of childhood nutrition from not only a nutritional perspective, but also a social and emotional framework.
Jessica and Melanie discuss:
* Why the concept of a 'healthy day on a plate' to start with is problematic for children and how this creates unnecessary stress
* Why social media potentiates this social stress.
* How kids are more prone to graze more so than eat the perfectly macro-balanced meal.
* Why is childhood nutrition important to consider.
* How nutrition influences childhood physical and metal development
*How nutrition impacts immune system development
* How important our conversations are around nutrition and food for building a positive relationship with food
* Why we encourage more so diversity of ingredients, trialing and re trialing foods as kids palette change
* How to focus on ways to include more protein for kids
* How to focus on ways to include more essential fats for kids
* Immune supportive nutrients and foods for kids
...and more!
