What Should Your Kids NOT Eat?

And..Here They Are:

1. Butter and Cheese – Full of saturated fat and fat-delivered chemical pollutants
2. Potato Chips and French Fries – Rich in trans fat, salt, and carcinogenic acrylamides
3. Doughnuts and other baked goods   – Rich in trans fat, sugar, and other artificial substances
4. Sausages, hot dogs, and other luncheon meats – Containing N-nitroso compounds that are potent carcinogens
5. Pickled, smoked, or barbequed meats – Linked to both stomach cancer and high blood pressure

And, eating the right foods is important too. As the fall weather approaches, are you dreading the sore throats and illness that often come a few weeks in to each school year? You don’t have to be.

There is a definite link between what we eat and the illnesses we get. We can increase our resistance to disease by making better choices in our diet. Many childhood ailments can be prevented or severity lessened through superior nutrition. Ear infections, strep throats, allergies, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD and ADHD) and even autoimmune diseases can be prevented through sound nutritional practices early in life. 

Some Suggestions 
Fresh fruits, raw and cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, intact whole grains, raw nuts and seeds should form the foundation of your family’s nutrition. Try to remember the word : G-BOMBS to incorporate these superfoods into your diet regularly. 

 Use Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds as often as possible. Food preferences and tastes are formed early in life, so the earlier you begin the better. But it is never too late to start.
