Dietary & Nutrition – Ruth

Homepage Advisory Panel Dietary & Nutrition - Ruth
 
 

Dietary and Nutrition Needs

 

“As children grow older food and activity become more and more important.  The ability to exercise and be active will be affected if there is reduced muscle tone and strength, loose joints or low stamina. But there are lots of simple practical measures that can be taken.

 

Children do not need any special diet just because they have Down syndrome and they are no more prone to developing something like food allergy than their peers. I hope I will be able to help you understand the roles that food choice, portion size and activity have in keeping the whole family on the right track.  I look forward to working with the Down Syndrome Centre in helping you to help your child.”
