When kids avoid nutrient-dense foods, their bodies miss out on the building blocks they need to grow, regulate, and thrive. 💪🏼
Here’s how:
•Zinc impacts taste and smell, reduces appetite, and slows growth.
•Copper dulls taste perception, making food less appealing.
•Magnesium makes the nervous system more reactive, leading to stronger food aversions.
•B Vitamins heighten sensory activity, making textures, smells, and tastes feel overwhelming.
•Iron causes fatigue and irritability, so kids stick to ‘safe’ comfort foods.
It’s a cycle: picky eaters avoid nutrient-dense foods, which only makes the deficiencies worse.
Let’s help your family break the cycle and thrive. ✨ Breaking the cycle starts with understanding the root cause. 🌱
