Abstract

Introduction: nutrition, in addition to being the basis of a set of eating habits, adheres to the need with which food intake must meet the daily needs demanded by life and physical activity. Objective: to characterize eating practices in children. Method: a review of the available literature in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, from which a total of 15 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used. Results: individuals in charge of children should wash their hands before preparing food and those of children before eating. Food should be preserved and stored safely and served immediately after preparation. Poor feeding practices and infections, often aggravated by poverty, humanitarian crises and conflicts, deprive them of adequate nutrition. Nutritional status is based on being the result of the intake and energy needs in the body, expressing a degree of well-being of people. Conclusions: a diet must be ensured that includes all the necessary foods to satisfy the nutritional and energy needs of the child in order to avoid diseases and ensure an optimal state of health
