30 Days of Healing Food – Day 10
Have your children eat foods that contain natural fats like nuts, avocados, coconut, flax seed, chia seed and more and limit these foods with common sense… kids don’t need to eat a pound bag of nuts, that’s a lot of fat that packs on the pounds.
Sugar – Sugar is the heroin of this day and age… stay away from sugar.
Salt – By kicking the salt shaker we can stop sudden death by 50% and have our children be much, much, healthier. Lots of children have kidney problems that are directly related to salt.
Learn to Read Labels – Manufactures of food products can say just about anything on the front of the package, but have to put down exactly what they have in the pack on the back. Read the labels on the back of the package. Foods are listed according to the amount used, and the first ingredient is always the most prevalent… and down from there. Look for the words “Whole Grain” on breads… and breads should not contain any added oils or sugars.
Cook With Your Children – Children become interested in cooking and good nutrition if they find their parents interested in good nutrition… and want their children cook with them. Put them to work mixing, chopping, doing things to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make food fun, put faces on apples, make their plates look fun and exciting, be creative… and they will love their food. And they will love cooking, and they will learn to love eating whole foods that are good for them.
