Organic Food
These days supplements are necessary for most of us because unfortunately, many foods these days do not have the nutrient value they used to. This is due to the processing out of nutrients and the overuse of soils leaving them heavily depleted of much needed minerals. We also often overcook our foods and throw the nutrients out with the water.
Much of our food in recent years has been bred to look good, making it more appealing and therefore marketable. That is one of the reasons we always recommend buying organic whenever you can. Organic foods, aside from not containing pesticides and herbicides etc that are harmful to your health, have been found to have a higher vitamin and mineral content. Organic farming does not use antibiotics and growth hormones. Just imagine what the hormones they use to fatten up the livestock are doing to our waistlines.
Helping Picky Eaters
Another reason you may wish to supplement your child's diet is if they are a very picky eater. They may not be getting everything they need from their diet. You may find that the reason your child seems to be hungry all the time is they are not getting the required nutrients from their diet. Please consult your health practitioner if you are concerned that they are not growing or have any symptoms of malnourishment as they may have a more serious digestive disorder or allergy.
What Sort of Supplements?
A high quality supplement is beneficial. It is good to know our kids are getting the nutrients they need every day even if their diet has been less than perfect. What they need they absorb and whatever they don't gets easily excreted from the body. Please ask your health practitioner or check with your local health food shop for the best choice. Our recommendations are Children- Essentials/ Usanimals- Item #105 & Adults- Essentials/Essentials Item #101. Click here to Order.
