The Nutrients Needed By New-Born Babies

In order to maintain the normal growth of the body, new-born babies need balanced and moderate nutrients each day. Generally speaking, they need protein of high quality (for growth and maintenance), and calcium and vitamin D, which can be found in fish, egg, green vegetables, and dairy products. Women should also balance the nutrients intake by taking the bone-building mineral calcium and vitamin D supplement.

In the past, most experts believed that the only way to make bones grow is by eating fish, which is where animal source vitamin D was also found. However, the results of the research in 2006 show that the nutrient vitamin D can also be found in plant food, such as fortified cereal and orange juice. In this case, it is recommended that the new-born babies get 400 micrograms of vitamin D each day, separately from the other nutrients.

Vitamin D is extremely important for the growth and maintenance of bones in women. If you don’t get enough vitamin D, your bones will be brittle and soft, and you will have increased risk of developing osteoporosis. In fact, women should take vitamin D supplements during pregnancy and after giving birth. The later doses are needed because the baby requires more vitamin D than an adult does.

Both men and women should avoid consuming too much vitamin C. This is because the excessive amounts in the body can cause scurvy.

Antioxidant nutrients are important to prevent free-radicals from damaging your cells. Free radicals are unstable molecules that attack healthy cells to strip off their electrons. The resulting instability makes the cells more sensitive to damage. Some examples of damaging free-radicals are smoking, sunburn, and exposed to certain chemicals like solvents and toxins.

Juice extractor Citrus remnessesers make it possible for you to consume your daily requirement of vitamin C. The citrus fruits are getting popular in the U.S., mainly because of the high levels of vitamin C that you can get from them.

Although new-born babies usually get enough nutrients from their mothers, it is important to feed the child with a multivitamin because a lack of vitamin C may adversely affect the development of bones and teeth. A supplement that contains 100% vitamin C should be considered as a minimum requirement.

Nearly 10% of women over the age of 65 have osteoporosis. New-born babies need 500 mg of calcium each day, while adults should take 1,200 mg of calcium each day.

To get your vitamin E requirement, you should eat six to 11 mangoes or Conductive Bone Meal cereal, which contains 28 mg of vitamin E.

To get your folate, eat citrus fruits, green vegetables, legumes, oats, seeds, and wheat. Folate is critical for a child’s development, as well as for the maintenance of the cells and DNA. A supplement of 400 micrograms of folic acid will balance any folic acid deficiency.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a dietary supplement made from MSM, an organic sulfur compound found naturally in plants and animals. Dietary MSM may help reduce the symptoms of arthritis and mucous membranes.

Sodium benzoate is used in soft drinks, fruit juices, and salad dressings, and is arite, an element formed by passing a hydrogen atom through a hydroxyl group. Iodide is the other element formed by this process. Other ingredients in soft drinks and fruit juices, and salad dressings, include calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, and sulfites, which are preservatives combined with the sodium and chlorine added to check proteins for safe food qualities.

The Dietitian, Robert background, added this caution: “Although MSM is considered safe, it is undesirable to use as a unit of treatment for any individual, particularly those with kidney problems, burns, and high blood pressure.”

So, if you’re not sure if you’re getting “safe” doses of MSM, I suggest doing your research. And if you ask me, the answer for me is clear! After all, I’ve been targeted by this marketing ploy for quite some time now. While I feel lousy and degenerated from all the “stuff” I’ve put in my body for so long, I’m also thankful that I’m at least getting the full nutritional value from the stuff I’m drinking.
