that It is important to ensure that children’s nutritional needs are met for a healthy future and to avoid setting them up for health failure.
The eight-year-old child was allegedly fed an inappropriate diet and suffered devastating consequences.
Dr. Erna Nadia, based on a friend’s case, told the tragic story of a child who became completely blind during class one day.
Elna said: facebook The child posted that after undergoing multiple medical tests, he was diagnosed with “severe vitamin A deficiency.”
“A nutritionist investigated and found that the child had only eaten processed foods such as nuggets, sausages, and cookies since infancy (to date),” Erna said in the post.
Her nutritionist friend claimed that this actually happened in the capital and that the child’s parents did not have “normal jobs”.

When Erna’s friends talked about this child, they couldn’t help but feel angry at the parents who raised their children on “terrible” diets, but who were too busy to live a comfortable life. He also felt sorry for him.
And she advised parents to always buy food that they think is nutritious, even if they don’t have enough time to prepare it.
“Chicken rice is fine, rice noodle soup is fine, but you have to force yourself to eat healthy food.
“Even if you have to feed them, as long as they’re eating the right foods to meet their nutritional needs, they’ll be fine,” she added.
Netizens agreed with Erna’s feelings, but based on personal experience, they speculated that the child might be picky.
Some expressed concern that the food parents prepare for their children during school breaks was said to be junk food or fried food.
