Healthy eating for your toddler..... e'Pap!



As parents we all know nutrition is the most important key to a child's growth and ability to learn.
e'Pap is an affordable and effective way to provide your little one with 29 of the most important vitamins and minerals to make sure that one day your child will reach full potential. The important nutrients such as iron, zinc, iodine and vitamin A are all delivered at 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) in a form that is easy for the body to absorb.

 From the mouths of babes, listen to what this little guys has to say about his e'Pap!

According to Project Healthy Children “The Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey 2010-2011 reports widespread anaemia among all populations including more than half of children less than 5 years of age and 28% of women of reproductive age… Such micronutrient deficiencies threaten urban and rural Zimbabweans from all socio-economic segments since, for example, among women and children there is virtually no difference in anaemia prevalence from the poorest to the richest income group.”

Iron, just one of the minerals in e’Pap, is the gold of the body.  It is a nutrient that's needed to make haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. Red blood cells circulate throughout the body to deliver oxygen to all its cells. Without enough iron, the body can't make enough red blood cells, and tissues and organs won't get the oxygen they need. So it's important for children to get enough iron in their daily diets.

Making children nutrient replete will help address many challenges in their lives at school.  There are links between nutritional status and violent behaviour to a lack of academic performance.  Falling asleep at 9.00am in school, lack of concentration, ADD and low academic performance all have links to a compromised nutritional status. These are challenges that can be addressed with an effective nutritional intervention such as e’Pap. 

For less than the cost of 3 slices of bread a day give your child the best start in life.  e'Pap is tasty and is simply added to water or milk. Eating e'Pap at pre-school can be a fun activity with the children making their own cereal.

What an easy way to make sure all parents and pre-schools give our little ones great health. Have a look at what is in a bowl of e'Pap a day, more than any other fortified cereal on the market right now.
