But What Is Stunting?
Stunting is when your child has a lower height for their age. Not only does stunting affect physical development, but it also prevents your child from reaching their full cognitive potential as an adult. Due to malnutrition, repeated infections and/or lack of social stimulation, stunting could lead to difficulties in learning and comprehension, thus affecting their educational performance.
Fact: Stunting Can Be Prevented
Adequate nutrition and sufficient physical activities are important to set our child up with building blocks for a happy, healthy life.
We all want our kids to grow up happy, healthy and strong! So, let’s be more mindful of their needs from the start. It’s time to discover some fun facts about what works and what doesn’t!
Myth 1: Want to be taller? Play basketball
While sports stimulate your child’s growth, a balanced diet plays a very important role too! Don’t forget, more calcium helps your child build stronger bones!
Myth 2: Just hang from monkey bars
Kids love to hang on this at the playground. But remember, they need calcium, magnesium and vitamin D to strengthen their bones as well as carbohydrate, fat and protein to provide them with the energy to hang on a little longer!
Myth 3: Jump and jump some more!
This myth has something to do about jumping and how with every jump, your body stretches! Let your children jump all they want but make sure to give them the required amount everyday! Take 2 servings of LACTOGROW® Aktif a day to help meet the daily requirement!
Myth 4: Eat more long beans
Packed in minerals and vitamins, long beans are also rich in fibre! It’s great if your kid loves it but don’t forget to give them 2 servings of LACTOGROW® Aktif daily as it has 19 important vitamins and minerals to support growth and development.
