Good nutrition in childhood

Overview

A legacy of a lifetime of good health comes from the institution of feeding practices birth right. Unfortunately, at this age, the child in accordance with the dictates of nature has gone out of fashion.

The Good parents do their best to provide their children with material and moral compass to guide her. But its responsibility to guide nutrition is often overlooked. Consequently, many parents without want to subvert their children's health and human potential. A healthy diet does not benefit the child not only immediately, but also serves as a paradigm of the child is likely to adopt and implement all his adult life. Proverbs 22:6 teaches, "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. "

For most, the disease is not as popular thought, a direct consequence of microbial infection, but rather the result of ignoring one of the first laws of nature: human beings have an intrinsic relationship with these basic elements of life: food healthy, clean water, fresh air, adequate sunlight, exercise, heat, rest and sleep, emotional harmony, good posture. The disease is a consequence of a deficiency or excess of one or more of them.

A violation of this law gives rise to two main roots of the disease: autotoxemia and nervousness. Autotoxemia is a state of indoor environment pollution. This prevents the toxic load of all bodily functions, including disposal, and still increasing. Nervousness is a state characterized by the depletion of nervous energy and reducing the body's resistance to infection. These two factors Combined feed off each other and represent the status of the primary disease. Acute illnesses like colds and flu and chronic diseases such as environmental infections, recurrent ear infections, diarrhea and eczema are the side effects of this initial state.

When the level of systemic toxicity threshold point beyond the tolerance of the body follows a crisis of toxemia. Medical science classifies these crisis as acute as "Diseases", according to its unique complex of symptoms (eg, bronchitis, colds, flu, pneumonia, etc.).

In fact, these crises are urgent the body's efforts to eliminate toxins. The crisis of toxemia continues until the level of toxicity was reduced (by sweating, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, runny nasal) below the point of tolerance, after which it disappears naturally it comes from. However, if the medicines are used to remove toxic waste, toxic materials (whose body is trying to expel) is forced away from the disposal of bodies and secrete surface and deeper into the tissues which limits the body's vitality, setting in motion the wheels of chronic diseases.

At that time, TK diet naturist The children fell into almost total darkness. Harry Benjamin Key wrote in Everybody's Guide to Nature Cure (1936): "Parents assume that the diseases of children today is inevitable. So they are, if children are fed, they are now." The importance of this observation has increased exponentially in the trash was food everywhere.

Vitality depends on what naturopaths call and the life force called chi in Chinese medicine. The life force energy is essential to sustain life and is present in every cell of vibration, a biological process. The Chinese believe that a large proportion of the vital force is released from food in digestion and assimilation. Thus the amount of vital force, the very force that is driven by the growth and development depends on the quality of our food.

Medical science now clearly recognizes the power of childhood is a critical factor in adult health. A recent study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that some parts of girls Potatoes week between the ages of 3 and 5 significantly increases your risk of France to develop breast cancer in life.

For now, the relationship between diet and childhood obesity unfit for life with all its associated health risks (eg diabetes, heart disease, cancer) is well established. Surprisingly, 60% of U.S. children are obese (ie, over 30% of body weight is fat). Unlike adults, the body of a child being challenged by a excess oil, creates new fat cells instead of relying on the storage capacity of pre-existing cells. At maturity, the number of fat cells is fixed and can not be reduced. Normally, the adult human body contains 30 until 40 mil millones fat cells. Adults who have become overweight as children may host cells at 90 until 120 billion fat.

In cases of childhood illness and physical dysfunction central role in behavior and often overlooked factor is the inadequate supply. In the digestive system, intestinal villi are a type of "system root" responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the small intestine and transported in the blood. Like a plant, integrity and vitality of the human body depends largely on the strength and quality following the food available.

Poor nutrition contributes directly to the behavior and physical dysfunction in a variety of ways. Deficiency of vital nutrients is evident. For example, children with zinc deficiency are not only impaired immunity, are also subject to learning, mood and predisposition to violent behavior.

Feeding childhood itself actually begins before birth. William Howard Hay, MD, wrote in health through higher Nutrition (1891): "When you eat, too. We die cell by cell, every day of our lives, and cell by cell, becomes to create. Not only through re-establishment of law in our hands through our way of eating, but the initial creation [of cells] depends largely Chemical status of the mother. "Therefore, the importance of optimal prenatal nutrition can not be overestimated. For many children, a pattern of food allergies, obesity and chronic disease has become institutionalized, even before birth

Breast milk

Human milk meets the specific needs of infant growth. To meet the changing nutritional needs, both the composition and volume of breast milk changes as the child grows. The milk of each species is specifically adapted to the specifications of their offspring. Consequently, there are large differences between nutrient profiles of breast milk and other species. For example, human milk contains 1% – 2% protein compared with 3.4% protein content cow's milk.

Importantly, amino acid composition of breast milk is ideal to facilitate the degree of brain growth that occurs in the first year of life of a child. Cow's milk Secondly, the structure adapts to the fast development of muscles and bones, rather than brain tissue (adult cows have relatively small brain).

If milk or soy, baby formula for trade has been very problematic milk substitute. Formulas trade lead to various allergic reactions that often affect the digestive function. Provide formulas generally difficult to digest proteins (baby can absorb more), resulting in the accumulation of putrefaction in the intestines. In addition, undigested protein can enter the bloodstream distal site that cause inflammation and creates undesirable immune responses.

Breast milk contains only one type of sugar: Acts L. Formulas are loaded with artificial refined sugars such as sucrose, maltose and glucose, which tend to ferment in the digestive tract of the child, interfering with digestion protein formula and the basis for many disorders associated with childhood like illness, including chronic ear infections, tonsillitis, croup and colic.

Mother's diet and adequate nursing lifestyle

Despite the superiority of breast milk milk of other species and commercial formulas, does not mean that all milk is good quality. The quality of breast milk varies depending on the quality of the diet of the Mother and lifestyle. A healthy and thriving child is more likely that the style of the product life of a nursing mother who is characterized by: a proper diet, fresh air, exercise, sunshine, rest and sleep, emotional balance, avoidance of negative influences.

The breastfeeding mother should eat a diet high content of moisture is composed of large amounts of fruits and vegetables and relatively small amounts of whole grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, fish, skinless chicken and turkey. You should also avoid all foods common allergens (such as dairy, wheat, peanuts, etc) and turn food allergens such as moderately corn and egg in a schedule of four days.

The three periods of childhood food

Ideally, food Children should be composed of three clearly defined phases:

1) Period of milk: breast milk is taken together with additional costs, fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

2) Period of Transition: the intermediate stage, where the child making milk and solid foods.

3) post-weaning period, the child remains a regime similar to that of adults.

Finally, the best means of ensuring the physical and behavioral development of children requires a careful application and informed of each step. For example, Error The current infant feeding is the early introduction of starch. The starch does not occur in breast milk and children are unable to digest.

The digestion of starch begins in the mouth as saliva contains starch-splitting enzyme salivary amylase. A naturopath Paavo Airola said, Key writes in the book to all women: "salivary amylase in a child not present in appreciable quantities by least 6 months. Another enzyme of starch digestion, secreted by the pancreas is not present in sufficient quantity to digest starch …. The digestive system the baby is not ready to digest starchy foods efficiently up to 1 year or more and therefore should not be fed with starch at least that long. "

It is common practice for mothers to introduce cereal at 4 months old babies. This error may be of critical impact on child health for the rest of his life. Herbert Shelton, ND, founder of natural hygiene system, written in the hygienic care of the children: "The widespread current practice of feeding cereals, baked potatoes, bread and other starchy foods for babies is responsible for many diseases in them. Indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, rashes, tonsillitis, etc. Head of Food such growths. "I always advised mothers against starches food for babies until they are at least 14 months old.

Clearly, investment in the future of a child must go beyond financing university education to include parental investment time and effort to learn and implement optimal nutrition and prenatal child. In fact, is one of the most large donations of a child can receive.
