    Author: Lawson M.
    Journal: J Fam Health Care; 2003; 13(6):151-4. PubMed ID: 14753120.
    Abstract:
    Dr Margaret Lawson summarises the relationship between childhood growth and nutrition, and the effect of early nutrition on health in later life. She explains why children should be encouraged to eat a varied diet that includes foods from each of the four main food groups. The need to monitor children's growth is discussed, as are some of the nutritional pitfalls that may prevent children achieving their optimum growth and health.
