Thoughts From Today September 11, 2018

Ms. Vicki of StargardenParenting.com talks about healthy cooking for young children and her spiritual practices.

A few quotes from the talk about children and food:

“When the teeth come in, the digestion is ready for food.”

“Live foods bring enzymes, and enzymes help with digestion.”

“The Asian principle is to have all 5 tastes in the meal.” “The bitters help the liver to function.”

“Introduce foods one at a time, especially the allergy prone foods.”

How to get children interested in eating healthy food?
“At a young age, they can cook with you and be a part of the meal.”

“It’s good to have foods separated, so they can tell what their body needs; the body will tell them as what they are drawn to.”

Relationship between Nutrition, Food and Behavior
“Children behave based on their nutrition.” “If absorbtion does not take place, they become nutritionally deprived.”

“You can use herbs for nutrition. Teas, tinctures (liver tinctures, homeopathy and other ways to bring about nutrition.”
