Good nutrition is
particularly important for children and especially important for children with
any type of health challenge. Your child's body was not designed to be ill.
This means you need to give your child the fuels he or she needs to help heal
and correct their bodies.
In an article written by Dr Steve Nugent and Jane Ramberg, called "Reassessing the Need for Dietary Supplements for America's Children", the following is stated:
In an article written by Dr Steve Nugent and Jane Ramberg, called "Reassessing the Need for Dietary Supplements for America's Children", the following is stated:
"Studies indicate
that poor nutrition in childhood can have irreversible efffects, ranging from
mild to serious, affecting brain development, skeletal structure, and height.
If malnutrition occurs during the critical period of high brain growth velocity
(between the last trimester of pregnancy and age 2), deleterious (harmful)
effects on brain development are permanent."
There should be no
question that what your child eats will affect his or her health. The only
question is what can I learn about my child's nutrition and what can I do to improve
it?
The best way for your child to obtain good nutrition is by consuming a healthy, well-balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. It is also important to get Phytonutrients, Antioxidents and Phytohormones which support proper organ health; and Glyconutrients.
Glyconutrients are required for complete cellular communication and probably the most important nutrient for a child with any type of chronic health challenge.
Why are some nutrients considered necessary for proper body and immune system functioning and others are not considered necessary?
In a nutshell, if you understand how a basic computer works, you know that there is certain software, called the operating system, that is required to make the computer run. Then there are other software, like games and word document programs, that use the operating system in order to function. The same applies to your child's body. There are necessary nutrients (as described above) that are essential to make the human body function and then there are supplemental nutrients (like herbs) that are useful when all of the essential nutrients are present.
Unlike pharmaceutical medicines, the most reassuring thing about necessary nutrients is that they are non-toxic. Your child's body will accept nutrition naturally without the toxic and sometimes life-threatening side affects of pharmaceutical medicines.
If your child's cells are healthy, his/her tissues will be healthy. And with healthy tissues come healthy organs. If all your child's organs are in synchronised working order, then his/her entire anatomy works in perfect harmony.
You owe it to your child!
