We as a parent have to be very careful when it comes to the type of food and the nutrients we need for our children when they are starting their journey toward mental and physical growth .The soil in New Zealand is not very rich in essential minerals required for a balanced mental and physical growth and there is a essential need to have them in the daily dietary plan.

The Minerals of dietary importance to New Zealanders are Vitamin B12(It is important for normal blood and nerve function), Calcium (very important for strong bones and is deposited in our bones until our 20s ), Vitamin D also called the sunshine vitamin because our bodies produce it in response to sunlight , Vitamin D has its importance for strong bones, muscles and overall health ), Folic Acid which can help to ensure healthy development of babies in early pregnancy, is a B vitamin important for cell growth and reproduction, Iron helps red blood cells to carry oxygen around our body and for proteins in our muscles. It boosts immune system to fight infections, and is important for growth and brain development in children , Zinc has its benefits for growth and development during pregnancy, as a baby and as a child, helps with wound healing and sense of taste and smell. Besides being important for our immune system , it helps our bodies make proteins and DNA .

Other iron-rich foods include beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains. Ideally, pairing these with vitamin C-rich fruits like strawberries, oranges and kiwi fruits is the best way to increase iron absorption.
