ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS

Essential nutrients are the nutrients that the body requires for normal functioning and cannot produce on its own in sufficient quantities. They include macro-nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as micro-nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are obtained through a balanced diet and play critical roles in supporting various bodily functions, growth, and overall health.

Essential nutrients are crucial for children aged 6 months to 3 years because this is a critical period of rapid growth and development, where the body requires an adequate supply of nutrients to support brain development, bone growth, immune function, and overall physical growth.
