Approximately 70% of your child’s immune system lives in their gut! As their acquired immunity is still building, it is important that we support holistic immune function as best as we can.
Studies show that food additives significantly impact our kids’ attention span and their ability to focus. Researchers also found that removing food sensitivities could reverse attention deficiency in about 75% of cases. To do that, physical activity, healthy cognitive stimulation (like learning and reading), and the right nutrients are the best ways to promote healthy neurodevelopment.
Many of the nutrients required for healthy brain function are easily found in foods, including B12, choline, DHA, zinc, and iron.
It is important to remember that fat is a necessary part of our diet, and what matters is the type of fat our kids consume. Switch out inflammatory industrialized seed oils (corn, canola, safflower, vegetable) with natural sources like olives, avocados, coconuts, grass-fed dairy, or butter.
Choose unflavored milk, plain yogurt, small amounts of cheese, and other unsweetened dairy foods.
Protein helps our brains and muscles grow! So, naturally-raised animal products are good options, along with eggs, nuts and nut butters, seeds, lentils, quinoa, and beans.
Favor whole fruits over fruit drinks. Avoid sugary drinks like sodas, fruit drinks, and sports drinks, which are very caloric and of barely any nutritious value.
Sugar is a very tricky ingredient because it is found in everything, even in foods we never think would contain sugar! These include breads, canned soups and vegetables, condiments like ketchup, frozen meals, and fast food. Imagine how much sugar we consume in a day without even knowing it! The type of carbohydrates in the diet is more important than the amount of carbs in the diet, because some sources (i.e. vegetables, minimally processed grains, etc.) are much healthier than sugary foods made from white flour. Therefore, take your kids to help you shop for groceries! Teach them how to read a food label so they learn what they are eating! This will make their food experience much more interesting and exciting, especially when they take some ownership in what they are eating.
