Importance of Children’s Nutrition
Children are lacking the proper nutrition, essential B-Complex vitamins, iron, zinc and antioxidant Vitamins A, C, E, protein and fiber for their growing bodies due to their improper eating habits.
Many children would rather go to a “Fast-food” Restaurant or snack on carbohydrates, or products high in sugar, rather than sitting down to a good healthy meal mom fixes. Too many sweets, carbohydrates, artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners that tend to lead into other problems such as childhood diabetes, obesity, ADHD and the list goes on.
Breakfast should be eaten within the first ½ hour upon rising. So as moms we need to make the decision to change our families nutritional habits and everyone’s health will improve. Children are being allowed to eat or not eat breakfast. The breakfasts that are being served at school are mainly carbohydrates and sugar. Kids are bouncing off the walls!
Brisada age 7 was on the school breakfast plan however her mother wanted her to have more nutrition so her mother insisted on Brisada to have a Herbalife Kids Shake before she went school. Brisada started drinking her “Special Shake/Smoothie” everyday before school and was eating breakfast at school also. About 1 week later Brisada came to her mother and stated “I don’t want to eat the school’s breakfast anymore” Yolanda asked “why?” Brisada stated, “That she was no longer hungry when she got to school.” Her Herbalife “Special Shake” was giving her the nutrition that her body was lacking. Now, Brisada tells all of her friends about her “Special Shake/Smoothie” and their moms purchase the Herbalife Kids Shakes for their children.
So, here’s an alternative give them their own Herbalife “Special Shake/Smoothie” with their meal or as a snack. Even if they don’t eat or eat very little at least they will be getting the nutrition they need.
Herbalife has a Nutritional Kids Shake/Smoothie designed with kids in mind. The shakes /smoothies provide essential nutrition that includes protein, fiber and 100% of key nutrients to meet growing kid’s daily needs N0 Artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners! Also included are Herbs and botanicals, including soothing chamomile and ginger (which aids digestion), plus rosehips and acerola. Builds their Immune System, and because it tastes great, kids will ask for it everyday. Let’s help our children form good healthy eating habits!
Our children also, need a good quality daily multivitamin. Herbalife has a fruit flavored chewable multivitamin which is especially designed with children’s health in mind. Herbalife’s chewable multivitamin is an excellent source of B-Complex vitamins, iron, zinc and antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, and without fillers, artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors
These multivitamins are also great for elderly who can not swallow.
Infants and toddlers should have a high-quality liquid vitamin dispensed into their milk, water or juice daily. Herbalife’s Kindermins liquid vitamins have 11 essential vitamins that infants and toddlers need that are very absorbable.
Children are not getting enough calcium in their daily diets. According to the USDA, Only 35% of boys and 14% of girls get 100% of the RDA of calcium in their diets daily.
Fat cell numbers stay constant through adult life - 13 May 2008
The number of fat cells in your body remains constant throughout your adult life, a new study has found. The discovery suggests that the process of weight gain may be fundamentally different in adults and in children. Adults who gain or lose weight may do so through changes in the size of the fat cells, also called adipocytes, which constitute fatty deposits in the body. Children, on the other hand, may put on extra fat by increasing the overall number of these cells in the body. This may mean that people who got fat during childhood may find it more difficult to shift the weight later in life, compared to those who piled on the pounds as adults, suggests Kirsty Spalding of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, who led the new research. Although the number of fat cells remains constant in adulthood, Spalding and her team found that it is not the same cells persisting for ever. There is a dynamic process of cell death and replenishment.

nice ideas but what if the kid has no interest in a special shake. Kids can put up a real fight some times. Luckily, Yinka Davies is hosting a webinar that is suppose to help us through these episodes. I hope it is as helpful as your blog.
