Introduction
Throughout the human life cycle, nutrition is paramount. Nutrition can influence our overall health from when we were born, up until our last years of life. It is a very interesting subject of growing up, and now that most of the people I know are adults with families, we all have children of similar age.

This age group is when children are growing fast, they grow at an average of two to four inches per year. What really gave me the interest to pick this stage is that my daughter is now seven years old and I always wonder how children of her age grow so fast.
