The most important point to be considered in the nutrition of infants and preschool children is to know the principles of HEALTHY NUTRITION and nutrients rich in vitamins A, C, E. Vitamins and minerals are the compounds that must be taken for chemical reactions in the body of your baby and all individuals throughout life.
The American Dietetic Association does not recommend that individuals who consume sufficient and balanced nutrition and consume all food groups together should use extra vitamin preparations. Vitamin are chemical compounds that should be used under expert control.
VITAMIN A (b-carotene): This vitamin is found in fish liver, liver, egg yolk, whole fat dairy products, yellow-orange-green leafy vegetables and fruits. Since it is a fat-soluble vitamin, margarine and butter are required to be put in the food regulations. The loss of b-carotene in vegetables by cooking is 5-28%. We do not lose vitamin A if we store food in dark, cool places and away from metals.
