Creating a brighter future for young minds
Our team at Think through Nutrition (TTN) is delighted to announce our collaboration with V&Me, a rapidly expanding baby and toddler food delivery start-up, in reviewing and updating their menu offerings. Together, we are aiming to ensure that V&Me's recipes adhere to the highest nutritional standards, promoting positive brain health and development for children aged 7-12 months and 1-3 years old.
In adherence with recent evidence, the importance of this work cannot be overstated. In recent years, we have seen a decline in IQ scores and a rise in mental health issues affecting children and adults alike. Research has demonstrated that proper nutrition plays a vital role in supporting cognitive development and mental wellbeing. By focusing on the nutritional needs of young children, we can help combat these concerning trends and lay the foundation for healthier, more resilient minds.
Our work includes:
providing input and recommendations for both existing and new V&Me recipes, in line with the latest research on paediatric nutrition and brain health
the development of delicious, nutritious, and innovative meals designed to support the cognitive growth of young children
As part of our collaboration, V&Me has been granted the use of Think Through Nutrition's logo and accreditation statement on their website, marketing materials, and product packaging. This accreditation signifies that V&Me's recipes have been carefully reviewed and approved by TTN's expert team, giving parents and nursery schools confidence in the quality and nutritional value of these meals. In a world where brain health is crucial for success, V&Me is committed to providing children with the best start in life. We are proud to support this mission and look forward to our continued collaboration, helping to create a brighter future for young minds.
Mulu Sun, Founder of V&Me, said:
“We at V&Me are extremely excited to join forces with Think Through Nutrition in our quest to provide the best possible nutrition for babies and toddlers.
Think Through Nutrition's expert knowledge in brain health and paediatric nutrition will undoubtedly elevate our menu offerings, helping us create meals that promote cognitive growth and overall well-being in young children.
This collaboration demonstrates our unwavering dedication to making a positive impact on children's lives, setting the stage for a healthier, brighter future for them."
