Indians have a penchant for food. They walk the extra mile to grab the meal they love. Their day revolves around food and they eat to their heart\u2019s content. Though one would imagine that they have consumed a healthy and balanced diet, however, this is not the case. Studies on dietary intake show that a range of macro and\u00a0micronutrients<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>often go missing or fail to meet the required levels in the diet of Indians, with protein deficiencies being widely prevalent.<\/p>\n

The situation gets even more tricky in kids as they often skip meals and are very choosy about what they eat. This selective approach further deprives them of essential nutrients like proteins, vitamins, iron, folate, et al. Each nutrient plays a selective role in the growth and development of the body and brain. Thus, missing out on the required daily requirement in the formative years of growth can have a detrimental impact on the body.<\/p>\n

While all nutrients are important for the body in their own way, proteins are especially crucial for the overall growth and development. Any shortfall in the levels of proteins in kids can have an undesirable impact on health. Therefore parents should not only give protein-rich food to kids but also look for alternatives that increase\u00a0kids\u2019 protein\u00a0intake.<\/p>\n
