Food nutrition pyramid
lays down some basic guidelines regarding the kind of food that the kids
should consume. Nutrition pyramid guide for kids basically focuses on five
distinctive food groups. Each food group is indicated by a different color
in the nutrition pyramid, like orange color is for grains, red indicates
fruits, purple represents proteins, yellow is for fats and oil, blue stands
for dairy and other calcium products and finally green is meant for
vegetables. Read further to take a note of healthy food pyramid guideline. |
|
| |
Every food item that is
mentioned in the food pyramid consists of some different nutrients mix. So,
it becomes of prime importance to cook different kinds of foods for your
kids, so that they get all essential nutrients required by the body. Regular
exercise and healthy balanced food is what is required to ensure their
health fitness. |

In general, a person with type 1
diabetes can enjoy the same foods as someone without diabetes. Experts
recommend using the food pyramid to guide dietary choices, with an emphasis
placed on choosing a healthy variety of foods. The timing of meals is very
important for anyone taking insulin. Insulin types and dosages are
calculated with the assumption that the patient will maintain a specific
meal pattern. Skipping or delaying meals can mean serious insulin reactions. |
|
| |
|
| |
Because people with type 1
diabetes match their insulin dosages and food choices, they should know how
to read nutrition labels. Nutrition labels have information about the
calorie content, amount of carbohydrate, protein, fat and other nutrients
found in packaged foods. |
| |
|
|
| |
There are many ways that
people with type 1 diabetes can be taught to monitor their food intake. Some
meal plans focus on counting carbohydrates while others rely on a food
exchange system, allowing a specific number of servings of different food
groups at each meal. Your physician, nurse or dietitian can help you select
the right plan for your lifestyle. Many books can also help you with
diabetic meal planning. Maintaining a healthy weight and consistent blood
glucose levels are the ultimate goals of all diabetic meal planning.
Excellent control of your blood glucose levels can reduce the risk of
developing the long-term complications associated with diabetes. |

The diabetic diet for the
child will be entirely different from that of an adult. The principles in
making diet chart for the child is |
| |
The child must be allowed
to enjoy his food |
| |
The diabetic child must be
able to fit harmoniously into the family. |
| |
One should not be too
strict to his diet. The child must have enough food to grow normally like
other kids. There should be strict restriction to the quality but not to the
quantity of the food. He should avoid high sugar content food items like
candies, cake, and aerated water jam, jelly, honey jaggery. Outwardly a
diabetic child may be full of life, but one should always remember his
psychological feeling of daily prick, diet restriction and frequent either
urine or blood testing. One should always be sympathetic, if he occasionally
breaks his diet. |

Carbohydrate intake
calculation for the children upto 12 years of age
Boys.....100 + (10x age in years) gm/ day
e.g.For a 8 years old child it is 180 gm/day
|
| |
It should be as:
Breakfast 40 gms
Lunch 40gms
Dinner 40gms
3 snacks of 20 gms each (midmorning, afternoon and bedtime). There should
always room for variation for the child. If a 8 years old child does not
want to take40 gm CHO for breakfast (usually it is the rule for children
below 8 years) he can have a little less at breakfast and a little more at
lunch or at the afternoon snacks at his preference. Of course, his insulin
dose is to be adjusted to his meal. |
