The first step, the very foundation, of having a strong immune system is nutrition, and most times a balanced, real food diet will do the trick at providing your child’s body with the nutrients it needs.
Exposure to chemicals can damage the immune system and make it more difficult to fight off common infections and even more serious diseases such as cancer. Our environments have become increasingly toxic. Even though these toxins are everywhere you can take the steps to create a healthy home environment and therefore reduce the amount of chemicals your children are exposed to.
To reduce the amount of nasty chemicals and additives that your child consumes, choosing organic-certified foods is one of the best choices you can make. Certified organic food is grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, hormones or antibiotics. Its non-GMO, pasture-fed, free-range, sustainably-fished and biodiversity-friendly.
Purchasing organic foods will greatly decrease your child’s overall exposure to pesticides and help to create a healthier environment for everyone.
Serve organic and natural foods as much as possible, beginning with baby foods. A little baby’s growing brain and developing immune system are very susceptible to chemical influences. Eating organic fruits, veggies, grains and meats are a good way to help insure a healthier brain and body.
