Everything You Need to Know About Diet That Determines Your Child's Life

We all know how important childhood eating habits are, but there are some truths we tend to overlook.
We live in an era where people say our children will live to be over 100 years old, maybe even 120 years old, but will today's children actually be able to live 'long' and 'healthily'?

Mitsuko Ito, a pediatrician and public health specialist at the University of Tokyo School of Medicine and a mother herself, researches proper eating habits for children based on well-verified information.
“What and how a child eats changes the state of his or her body, mind, brain, and personality.
This will soon lead to the power to survive in the world.”
The oxygen we breathe and the water we drink can be improved temporarily with home appliances, but it is difficult to achieve fundamental change without a fundamental change in the environment itself. However, food is different.
Parents only need to pay a little attention to whether their children will eat bread or ice cream as a snack, fresh seasonal fruit, or boiled or fried meat.
For a child, food is the most direct and powerful factor that promotes growth and development, and recovery of body and mind, at least three times a day.
So, it is safe to say that the question of what kind of food to give a child and what kind of eating habits to form will affect the child's life.

The factor that has the greatest negative impact on the health of today's children and the younger generation is comfort, which is 'minimizing pain and stimulation while easily and quickly increasing the amount of pleasure and enjoyment.'
All kinds of snacks and restaurant menus that are representative of 'spicy, sweet, and salty', short videos that you watch without realizing the passage of time, and a lifestyle that involves sitting all day accumulate and ruin your appetite, body shape, and health in an instant.


Setting the table for children always puts parents at a crossroads.
"It's a hassle, but should I order delivery today?", "Prices have gone up a lot these days. Should I get a meal kit today instead?", "He doesn't want to eat, but it's better to give him snacks than to starve him, right?"

If you want to solve a simple meal with this kind of thought today, I recommend you read this book, “Children’s Eating is Wrong,” and think about it again.
A healthy meal doesn't have to be expensive or complicated.
If a few minutes of sincerity can come together and change a child's life in the future, why wouldn't you do it?


“What did our child eat today?”
A child's life changes when he or she changes his or her food!
What makes a healthy, vibrant, calm, and stable child different?

'They say you don't have to worry so much about atopy or ADHD these days.
It's not just my child, the world has become a better place and there are many good medicines.
Don't stress too much.'
Many parents try to provide healthy meals for their children and always remind them to eat a balanced diet, but why do our children suffer from obesity, allergies, poor concentration, indigestion, frequent colds, and atopic dermatitis?

The author points out that our common sense about 'healthy children's meals' is all wrong.
Recent research has shown that what we have known as a 'healthy diet' is not truly a healthy diet.
You need to be a picky eater who also chooses healthy foods.
And there are not many foods that are necessary and helpful for a child's growth and development.
You don't have to spend a lot of money buying different ingredients every time or waste time searching for effective recipes. With just a few simple tips, you can prepare meals that support your child's growth and development.

This book is divided into five parts, and each part contains '10 most basic eating common sense', '30 eating principles you can start now', '10 eating secrets you should know more about', '9 eating prescriptions' to alleviate symptoms that often appear in children, and 'eating tips' to make mealtimes more enjoyable with simple recipes and ideas.
This book contains 50 pieces of common sense information, including how to feed essential protein to growing children, how to use margarine, butter, and sugar, which are essential ingredients in cooking, to prepare healthier meals, how to choose ingredients that children like, such as milk, ham, sausage, meat, and yogurt, more wisely, what are the good principles to keep in mind at mealtimes to form good eating habits, and what foods can alleviate common symptoms children experience, such as skin health and intestinal health. This book adds to its value in that not a single piece of common sense is wasted.
It's full of useful tips that will help you make the most of children's nutritional supplements, whether it's okay to feed your child protein powder, and what to keep in mind when choosing fish or canned food. It can also be useful when preparing meals for parents.


The greatest gift you can give your child is
Proper eating and lifestyle habits

Looking at the results of the National Health and Nutrition Survey recently published by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, we can see that lifestyle-related diseases caused by poor eating habits are becoming a serious problem throughout our society.
The incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia is increasing, and it is pointed out that one of the root causes of these diseases is poor eating habits formed over a long period of time.


These results have led people to realize the importance of diet and become more interested in it. Unfortunately, it is also true that many people do not practice proper eating habits until their bodies actually show abnormal signs.
Eating habits that have already become ingrained are difficult to improve simply by knowing more information, and especially since tastes that are once formed often last a lifetime, it is more important than ever to maintain healthy eating habits from childhood.


This book clearly and easily explains what foods we should provide our children. It goes beyond simply imparting theory and knowledge, and provides easy and friendly guidance on how to apply them right away at home. This book will help growing children consume the right nutrition and lay the foundation for lifelong health.
