Any suggestions? Thanks, Rochelle. A nswer Dear Rochelle, Pre-schoolers and young children (roughly ages 2-5) should eat an age-appro- priate balanced diet. A balanced diet consists of foods from all the USDA "pyramid" food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, oils, milk, and meats & beans in the proper dietary proportions (for a much more detailed look at the USDA food pyramid and its age- specific recommendations, explore: www.mypyramid. gov/pyramid/index.html).

All carbohydrates are broken down by the body into glucose. Nutrition- ally speaking, young children should get about 50%-60% of their calories from (mostly unrefined) car- bohydrates. Added sugar (e.g., found in candy, sweetened bever- ages, cakes, and cookies) is not inherently evil; however, because sugar is high in calories and low in nutritional benefits, excessive intake can lead to weight gain and tooth decay, among others. Moderation is the key: a child's sugar intake should be limited to less than 25% of daily calories. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Direct Your Questions For Barb And Counseling Inquiries To: Integrated Nutrition, LLC, 32401 Northwestern Hwy., Farmington Hills.
