Why are Healthy Recipes for Kids so Important?

Healthy recipes for kids are super important! A healthy and well rounded plate of wholefood nutrition is uber important in supporting kids’ wellbeing. Nutrition for kids starts with finding healthy recipes that the kids will love (we’ve got you covered on both accounts there), that can support your child’s immune system, energy, gut wellbeing and growth and development. A balanced meal looks like plenty of fruits and vegetables (plenty of fruits and vegetables means a good amount of vitamins & minerals), protein (to grow and repair cells), grains (for fiber, vitamins & minerals), and good fats for a well rounded plate to support a child while they grow and develop. 

Immunity and energy

Healthy recipes for kids can support a healthy immune system and energy levels. Foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, pre and probiotics, garlic and turmeric support a strong immune system. 70% of the immune system lives in the gut, so adding in pre and probiotics plus fruits and vegetables to support a healthy gut microbiome. Eating enough calories, and the right kind, contributes to kid’s energy levels, which as a by-product, means they can be out and about living and enjoying their childhood with alertness and nutritional support. 

Development

There’s no doubt that a healthy diet of wholefoods supports a child’s cognitive and physical development. Healthy balanced meals, like the foods previously mentioned (in particular good fats, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes), do this by providing an adequate amount of nutrition and fuel for the brain and body to function and develop according to the child’s stage of growth. 

Gut health

With 70% of the immune system living in the gut, it’s imperative for kids to eat healthy foods to support their gut wellbeing, and as a byproduct to support their immune system, energy levels, digestion, heart health, cognitive function and sleep, just to name a few. When it comes to kids' gut health, you could say we’ve gut some good insights.
