Let Your Child Gorge On His Gummy Bears!
By Lisa Hyde-Barrett
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!
