Let Your Child Gorge On His Gummy Bears!
Do you frown at your kid munching away those gummy bears?
They could be a source of much-needed nutrients that he may
refuse to eat otherwise!
Does your kid refuse to eat his greens? Does he or she love
gummy bears more than the fruits and veggies you want him to eat
everyday? You are not alone. Many parents face the same problem.
Most children are fussy eaters. They love all kinds of junk food
and processed food. They would hardly take a look at all those
fruits and veggies you put on their tables, but they will gobble
up gummy bears with gusto. Responsible parents have always
fretted over their children's affinity for junk food. A growing
child needs proteins and vitamins. Lack of these in their daily
diet can affect their immunity to diseases. Children fed on a
diet of junk and refined foods tend to be frailer and may also
do badly in their studies. It can also affect their behavior.
This last point is not been given as much importance as it
should be. When the Appleton Central Alternative High School
replaced vending machines with water coolers and started
offering fresh vegetables, fruits, whole-grain bread and a salad
bar in place of the hamburgers and french fries, vandalism among
the students nosedived!
The question is how will you make your child eat more
nutritional food. In any case, pushing fruits and vegetables
down their throat is not an answer. Not just because of the
unpleasantness it will cause, but because pollution and other
factors have reduced the quantity of vitamins and other
nutrients in those foods. You may cram your child's stomach with
fruits, but he or she may still not get the right quantity of
nutrients needed daily.
Children's food supplements containing a revolutionary new class
of sugars called glyconutrients could be the answer to the
problems faced by parents.
What are glyconutrients. Essentially these are a class of sugars
that have been found to be of immense importance in the body's
fundamental process of cell building. A lot of research is
currently going on about the effect eight sugars from this class
of saccarides have on the body. Two of these, glucose and
galactose, are abundant in our diet. The remaining six --
mannose, fucose, xylose, N-Acetylglucosamine,
N-Acetylgalactosamine, and N-Acetylneuraminic acid - are mostly
missing from our food. Glyconutrients strengthen our immunity,
and help the body fight many diseases. The problem is how to get
the children to eat these glyconutrients. Glyconutritionals or
food supplements containing glyconutrients are now available
that resemble and taste like the junk food your children would
like to snack on. So if you child loves gummy bears, it would be
easy to get him to eat those scrumptious, delicious, colorful
gummy-bear shaped glyconutritionals made from natural
ingredients. For once, you won't disapprove of your child
chewing on those gummy bears!
