Organic food for children

Organic Food for Kids!

Healthy food is the safest way to protect your children’s health, and all children need to consume quality food that was ecologically produced. Consuming healthy organic food is most significant for infants because such food help them to build a good immune system, so in this way healthy fed children will have a more resistant immune system.

Today, I am going to talk about how important is to fed your child properly. As I mentioned before in my posts, organic food is good choice for us, but we must be aware that our children must eat healthy food and therefore give them what we know and what we are sure is the right for them and for their health. We are all aware that genetically modified food (GMO) contains many pesticide residues, additives etc. This should be the main reason why to avoid such food, especially for the children and to choose organic food that will help you to make your own healthy food for children.

-        Why are children sensitive?
Children are most vulnerable by the end of their first year of life. The reasons for this are the physiological immaturity of the organism and the rate of cell proliferation, i.e. weight gain, so the body can only be supplied with proper nutrition. Some organ systems are developing and maturing during childhood. Kidneys of children’s are less able to get harmful substances from the body, and the liver cannot decomposed them. By the age of six, the child's body contains more water and less fat, unlike an adult's body. Fats, which in the body of a grown man “chase” and melt pesticides, are less able to function in the body of a child, and toxins circulate in the body, especially those that are water-soluble.
The nerve system is intensively developed during the first year and its development continues until the age of 18. And the presence of toxins can interfere the development process itself. That's why we should make sure that our children consume food and drinks that have no any artificial additives, which can seriously harm their organism.

-        Where to get the organic food that I need to fed my children properly?
In the UAE there are stores for healthy foods, farms, restaurants, but every big store has a part that sells healthy organic food. When buying vegetables, fruits or milk products, look for a sign that indicates that the product is organic. When you have the necessary ingredients, it is much easier to make your own food for your child. You can always buy baby foods (jars) that are organically produced, healthy without the use of pesticides, antibiotics and is sold as such. But it is a better alternative to know what we are giving to our child because the food it’s consumed is of the utmost importance for his development.

When we have decided to use biologically more valuable and delicious food for our children, we can make it at home, for example, our own jars for the child. Just pour the ingredients you want to use, add water or organic milk (which you can also produce yourself) and your child will have his healthy food in a few minutes. So if you have some corner in the house where you raise your own fruits and vegetables, then this is a better variant and you can be sure that your child gets the best possible food.

Parents need to be aware that we directly affect the health of our child. We are aware that buying organic food requires more money, but trying to create a homemade food is a cheaper option that is certainly acceptable. It is clear that even some conventional food contain the necessary minerals, vitamins, proteins, antioxidants, etc. as it contains organic food, but we have to agree that the presence of pesticides is what makes a genuine difference. Organic food does not contain pesticides, which is very important for the development of our child health and immune system. As a parent, I always choose what is best for my children. In a next following announcements, I will offer you a recipe to do your own healthy organic milk, and I will recommend organic products that should be a part of healthy nutrition of a child.
