Children who are in good health are oftentimes happy, playful, and are able to learn properly. That is why most moms try to feed their kids with delicious and nutritious meals to help support their child&#x27;s health needs.</p><p>While some children are easy to feed and are naturally <em>magana</em> (with good appetite) that does not necessarily ensure that they are safe from hidden hunger. It is possible that their diets consist of nutrient-poor food such as: fast food, junk food, and sweets. While others are picky eaters and are not easily pleased with food. Both types may potentially have problems with lack of nutrition or micronutrient deficiency if they continue to eat less than recommended or refuse food overall.     </p><p><a href="https://www.ifpri.org/sites/default/files/ghi/2014/feature_1818.html#:~:text=Hidden%20hunger%20is%20a%20form,and%20development%20(Box%203.1)">Hidden hunger</a> or micronutrient deficiency has effects that are not visible to the eye, until it has become severe, that is why parents need to be aware of their child&#x27;s nutrient intake.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3474391/">study</a> shows that children between one to five years old are sometimes brought into clinic or to a doctor by parents because of their refusal to eat.</p><p>The problem is when a child does not get the right nutrition for their overall development they may be at <a href="https://www.unicef.org/eap/press-releases/poor-diets-damaging-childrens-health-worldwide-warns-unicef#:~:text=Almost%202%20in%203%20children,%2C%20in%20many%20cases%2C%20death">risk</a> of poor brain development, weak learning ability, low immunity and other physically visible signs of lack of nutrition such as being pale or lethargic, tooth decay, and others.</p><p>So, how do parents support their child&#x27;s overall nutrition and health, and also boost their appetite?</p><p>Aside from preparing meals complete with go, grow, and glow food, getting enough sleep, sunlight, physical activity, and cognitive practice, supplementation can help a child&#x27;s overall health and nutrition.</p><p><a href="https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-HealthProfessional/">Vitamin C</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3901420/">Zinc</a> must be replenished every day because the body does not produce them on its own.
