Free Educational Materials from the Beef Checkoff, a Program Supported by Beef Farmers and Ranchers
We’re excited to announce a FREE educational experience for your patients about the importance of introducing iron-rich complementary foods to infants.
In the U.S., one in five infants under 1 year of age are failing to meet iron requirements. (1)
Iron intakes among older infants and young children have been declining since 2002, in part, because of low consumption of iron-rich foods. (2) Furthermore, iron requirements increase substantially starting around 6 months of age and throughout these early years which are marked by tremendous physical and cognitive growth and development. (3)
Iron – along with zinc and choline – is essential to support healthy growth and development in the early years, particularly among infants who are exclusively breastfed and ready to transition to complementary feeding. That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends introducing nutrient-dense foods, such as meat, during this transition, to help protect against deficiencies that can impact a child’s development, learning, behavior and growth. (4)
Later this summer, you will receive complimentary evidence-based educational materials on the importance of introducing iron-rich complementary foods, such as beef, to infants.
As always, everything is absolutely FREE with no obligation!
