Gloria Reibin here to talk about kids and health. Health and wellness in the 21st century has had severe challenges. We hear about the obesity epidemic especially among kids. But there's no obesity problem; there's a health problem, which is a problem that can be solved.
We want our children to grow up being strong and healthy, strong bones, strong heart and not grow up to have the debilitation health problems that adults are prone to, osteoporosis, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Look at the big picture, the two variable that affect kids and health, nutrition and the environment.
We can eat healthy food, we can serve healthy food to our kids. We can teach our kids to eat healthy food their whole lives and to know the difference between healthy food and unhealthy food. We don't want our kids to grow up to be junk food junkies.
Start by going organic. You can get organic food without breaking the bank. Shop local, go to farmers market. Form co-ops with friends and neighbors. Two people go to the organic farm and buy wholesale for the entire group. Same goes for meat. Go organic.
Supplements for children are the other part of nutrition. Start as infants to enhance their immune system and build strong healthy bones. As the grow older, they have chewable vitamins. And teens love healthy shakes, a way to have fast food without the guilt. They can avoid becoming junk food junkies.
But nutrition alone is not the panacea. The other part of the equation is the environment.
Have you looked under you sink lately, the bathroom or kitchen? Look at the ingredients. How toxic are they?
Same goes for laundry detergents and dishwashing soaps. You can buy safe cleaning products by going green. So just as you go organic; now go green. Start a green campaign in your neighborhood.
What about water. Kids need pure water. Getting a water purifier is a great investment of kids and health.
