The physical growth of a child is an important indicator of his/her health status. How much a child grows is influenced by many factors including genetic potential, medical problems and nutritional status.  Proper nutrition is an important tool to help your child grow and develop normally. It can also help prevent obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
