Iron Deficiency in Children

I remember a school seminar for the parents last July which was hosted by a haematologist doctor. She talked about the importance of Iron in our body and what will happen if there’s iron deficiency in our children. She summarized that Filipino way of eating are susceptible to deficiency because we tend to eat more ice and vegetables which are low in iron unlike Americans who eat more proteins. 

Anyway she suggested great ideas on bringing up our children in such a way that they will strong and healthy. Of course they should get rid of vices like alcohol and Black and Mild, sleeping so late at night, imbalance of food nutrition intake and many more. Children should also be brought up with faith in God because that’s the real key in living. They should be healthy in mind, body and spirit. If one lack one of the most important things mentioned that’s when sickness will come to you.

Little Jewels' Nutrition Day

I’m so tired that I wasn’t able to do any work online today. I attended my little boy’s nutrition day program. He’s one of the boys in Filipino costumes in white camisa tsino and red pants with the letter of N in NUTRISYON (nutrition) saying what the letter stands for. There are many presentations and I can say they’re all in good concept. All PTA officers prepared foods for all students representing each grade level with one healthy recipe food. We presented soup, pancakes, ice cream, menudo, pasta and chicken. All booths were decorated with nutritious fruits and some even put balloons. It was very festive and at the end of it we parents and teachers ate what’s left and had our group picture taking. 

Update:

To see the yummy foods we had on that day visit my post at Feel at Home.
