How To Keep Your Kids Healthy All Year

 

Summer is over, your children are back in school, and that means cold and flu season is just around the corner.  Yikes!

Winter is always a health challenge.  But wouldn’t it be nice if you could keep your children healthy all year long?  Well, you can, thanks to Mother Nature!

Did you know about 80% of your immune system is in your gastrointestinal tract?  It’s true.  That means the key to vibrant health is the gut, which thrives on the proper balance of good and bad bacteria.  Your goal is to nourish, strengthen, and protect the good bacteria in the stomach and intestinal tract.  That’s what keeps your immune system strong.

You do this by eating plenty of the nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables that promote the growth of good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.  Then the good bacteria will flourish and prevent the bad bacteria from damaging your immune system.

Begin by incorporating leafy greens like kale, spinach, romaine, and Swiss chard in your children’s meals, desserts, and snacks.  Fresh broccoli, cabbage, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are also a super boost for the immune system.

Okay, I know what you’re thinking.  Children can be picky eaters.  Fresh fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens aren’t at the top of their list of favorite foods.  True.  But that just means you’ve got to be more creative at mealtimes.    

For example, you can blend leafy greens with bananas, strawberries, or mango for a nutritious, super-delicious smoothie at breakfast or for a snack.  Cruise the internet when you get a few minutes and check out all the awesome raw vegan YouTube videos featuring desserts so sweet and yummy your children will beg for more.  Seriously!

Just because the leaves are falling and the temperatures are dropping that doesn’t mean your children will inevitably come down with stuffy noses, allergies, colds, and flu.  Vibrant health for your entire family is as close as the produce department at your local grocery store.  

Can’t get any easier than that, right?  Thanks, Mother Nature!
