PULEVA presents a book about
child nutrition at the SENBA conference
Nutrition during the first stages of the development and growth of the
human being is a key factor in determining health in the later stages
of life. Some of the current guidelines about child nutrition
were detailed in the course sponsored by Puleva within the framework of
the V Conference of the Spanish Society of Basic and Applied Nutrition
(SENBA), which was held at the end of April in Bilbao.
Madrid,
8th of May, 2007.
The Conference brought
together the top specialists in nutrition.
The SENBA Conference was held in the Euskalduna Palace in
Bilbao on the 25th, 26th and 27th of April, where more than 300
specialists in nutrition gathered to debate and expound the most
revealing advances in the field of nutrition.
Within this prestigious framework, Puleva presented the second volume
of the book “Spanish Nutrition Clinics: Child
Nutrition”, led by two of the most outstanding doctors in
child nutrition, Javier Aranceta Bartrina and Alfonso Delgado Rubio.
Puleva intends for this book to be of great use to the largest
possible number of professionals linked to paediatric care, primary
care, nutrition, diet and public health.
Puleva sponsors the course on
“Child Nutrition”
Within the forum of the SENBA Conference, the food company sponsored a
course on "Child Nutrition", the objective of which
was continued training in the field of diet and nutrition in
periods of growth and development.
The importance of maternal milk, the influence of probiotics, Omega 3
fatty acids and calcium in a child's diet were some of the aspects
covered on the course, led by professionals and specialists with an
interest in the field of Infant and Juvenile Nutrition.
Puleva Biotech, one of the
benchmarks in the development of healthy food for children
At Puleva Biotech, pioneering centre for the research and development
of functional foods, we are working on and researching the field of
infant nutrition in order to develop functional foods that allow the
child to have a healthy, balanced diet.
Currently, the
R+D
department of Puleva is carrying out a study on the effects of
continued consumption of Omega 3 DHA upon the cognitive development of
children.
It must be borne in mind that nutrition in childhood sets the course
for subsequent physical health and good mental development.
