NUTRITION WITH IDA

     American children are among the better provided for youth in the world, so much so that American teens face far more obesity problems than hunger issues.
     Nevertheless, the percentages of children who do not consume adequate amounts of certain key nutrients are shocking.  The consequences of such deficiencies are varied, numerous, and always detrimental for one's health.
     Fortunately, deficiencies are easily corrected by changes in what one eats. On this site, Ida will provide information regarding what the most common nutrient deficiencies are in American youth, symptoms of these deficiencies, and what foods must be consumed to improve one's diet.
