Health For Child Nutrition, Introduction
Good nutrition is necessary for the development of the brain and the body
before a child is born and in the early years of life. Eating the right nutrients
at the right time during growth increases a child's potential. Yet, the
physical, behavioral and cognitive development of too many children in
New York is threatened by inadequate nutrition.
Even as obesity has emerged as a major public health threat, researchers are learning how income, food access, physical activityand family interact to increase the likelihood of childhood obesity.
While there are some early indications that living in poverty compounds the social, emotional and
human suffering if the trend toward obesity is not reversed.

While there are some early indications that living in poverty compounds the social, emotional and
health risks that accompany childhood obesity, it is clear that both
individuals and society will pay a significant price in financial costs and inhuman suffering if the trend toward obesity is not reversed.
