Kids need nutritional support too! Even the very best diet may not be providing children with adequate levels of all the nutrients needed to build strong, healthy bodies. . . .
We are what we eat. Wise words, but there is more to it than that – we are, more correctly, what we assimilate. Even the very best diet rich in raw whole foods, leafy green and bright coloured vegetables, seasonal fruits, lean meat, poultry, fish, nuts, seeds, legumes, wholegrains and healthy fats may not be providing your growing children with adequate levels of all the nutrients needed to build strong, healthy disease resistant bodies.
There are so many factors to take into consideration when thinking wholistically about health and nutrition, factors that may have greater impact on nutritional status and health than the types and volumes of food actually eaten. Some of these factors include:
New Zealand’s volcanic and glacial soils are deficient in several essential minerals including zinc, boron, selenium and molybdenum. If the minerals are not in the soil, they are not in the food grown in that soil.
Modern agricultural practices and chemically treated soils means there is greater depletion across a wider range of nutrients than ever before.
Food storage, processing and cooking further diminishes the nutritional quality of our food supply.
Poor dietary choices are prevalent in our modern society – junk food, refined, processed and nutrient poor foods (white bread, pasta, “freezer” meals, processed cheeses, etc), excessive consumption of sugar and soft drinks.
Deficiencies are common across many of the important nutritional cofactors that are essential not only to the digestive process, but also to the appropriate use of the nutrients we do get.
Healthy digestion requires adequate stomach acidity and pancreatic digestive enzymes to ensure the food is broken down properly.
Adequate levels of fresh air and exercise are essential to ensure that our bodies grow strong and healthy.
You may be putting in the effort to provide an exceptionally good diet, but even a child with a perfect diet may be subject to one or more of these other “nutritional risk factors”, so it pays to take a wholistic approach to nutrition for healthy development throughout infancy and childhood:
Help your child avoid refined, processed and nutrient poor foods. Instead concentrate on a well balanced wholefood diet rich in fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and omega-3 and omega-6 rich oils. Limit dairy food consumption, cut out packet drinks and soda and avoid artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Make meal time a structured, happy family time to support healthy digestion (limit drinks with meals as this dilutes gastric acid). Make sure kids get adequate fresh air and exercise and supplement their diet with Radiance® Kids Multi.
Radiance® Kids Multi is a well-balanced synergistic blend of vitamins and minerals with trace elements, green foods and bioflavonoids. These tablets, specifically designed for children, are carefully formulated to contain correctly balanced amounts of vitamins and minerals in a chewable and tasty tablet that any child will enjoy and benefit from.
The minerals in this formula are made utilising the unique Biotron Chelation Technology where possible. This technology offers the strongest and most stable chelated minerals surrounded by and bound to a full range amino acids. This is important as many supplements may read well on the label, but utilise poorly bioavailable forms of minerals.
Usage:
Helpful wherever the diet is insufficient to meet the needs of growing healthy children or children with health or lifestyle challenges. Stress, school demands, sports, dietary restrictions and many other situations deplete the body of the daily nutrients it needs to function properly and perform at its best.
A good multi vitamin and mineral supplement is often an important adjunct to any optimal health or disorder treatment plan as well as for general good health and wellbeing.
