#Milk: the basic diet of the baby
Milk is the basic diet of a baby. For several months, the infant will be fed through breast milk and infant milk. To optimize growth and more generally the good health of a child, it is advisable to breastfeed as long as possible. Growth milk, enriched with vitamins and iron, must be consumed until the child is 3 years old.
Then, the milk does not disappear from our diet. It is consumed in the form of dairy products and is indispensable at every age. In children and adolescents, it helps to ensure growth. Then, it helps us fortify our bones and protects us from osteoporosis.
#Fruits and vegetables to be fit
Fruits and vegetables in all their forms allow you to grow and be in perfect health. These foods are particularly rich in vitamins and minerals. They help the body regenerate and strengthen itself. The energy provided by fruits and vegetables also allows us to be active everyday.
