Nutrition Expert: Milk and yogurt vital for kids but should be consumed in moderation
Experts emphasize that milk and its products are important for children's health, as they help strengthen bones and teeth due to their calcium and protein content. However, excessive consumption of milk, especially cow's milk, can lead to health issues such as an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia, because it is low in iron and can reduce the child's appetite for iron-rich foods. Additionally, over-reliance on milk does not provide the body with all the essential nutrients it needs. Experts recommend not exceeding two cups of cow's milk per day after the age of one year and encourage a varied diet that includes iron-rich foods, vegetables, fruits, and proteins, while avoiding sweets and sugary beverages before meals. If a child's appetite remains weak, it is advised to consult a pediatrician for tests to check for anemia or other nutrient deficiencies.
