Child Nutrition:

Babies:

• The best food for a baby should be breast milk. (goats milk is closest if you can't breastfeed.)

• When should a baby eat food?

• 1. When they have teeth.

• 2. When the baby can sit.

• 3. When the baby can feed itself. (you must have all three)

  • Don’t give them starch too soon! It depends on their teeth.

  • 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom are still milk teeth.

  • When molars come through, they are ready for grains. (4 grain grinders)

  • At 10 months you can give them steamed veggies.

• Teach them to chew! First foods should be cucumbers, celery or apples.(baby food doesn’t teach them to chew) *When they spit it out example.

  • Wheat & dairy of today can be causing a lot of neurological issues in adults and children.
• • If you have a child dealing with tonsillitis, earaches, bronchitis, this could be a dairy intolerance.

  Dangers of dyes & sugar in children:

  • Cancer-causing
  • Hyperactivity
  • Inattention
  • Restlessness
  • Impaired memory

  Why all behavioral? It passes into the blood/brain barrier.

• Foods with dye:

  • Candy: M&M's, Skittles, and other candies
  • Baked goods: Cake mix, cookies, pie filling, and cake frosting
  • Drinks: Kool-Aid, Gatorade, Powerade, SunnyD, and other sports drinks
  • Flavored foods: Applesauce, ketchup, yogurt, and dips
  • Other foods: Jell-O, pickles, smoked salmon, and salad dressing, inorganic fruits like oranges. (Citrus Red #2)

  
  

  How to Eat: How to aid in digestion

• • Let the stomach rest when you do. (at night)

• • Breakfast like a king

  • Lunch like a prince

• • Dinner like a pauper

  
  

• Acid reflux:

• • • It’s not too much acid - it’s a weak valve. How can you help? ^^^

    • Strong acid is important for digestion. Stop taking antacids.

    • • Stomach acid is antibacterial. It allows your body to heal itself.

    • Low stomach acid? Take juice of a lemon and then ¼ tsp cayenne pepper and ⅓ cup of water before a meal.

  • Strengthen gut flora:

  • • Gut flora is responsible for breakdown of b-vitamins, absorption, protection, and nourishment.

    • Eat fermented foods, take a probiotic, eat less sugar and more whole foods. Don’t take antibiotics. (they kill gut flora and cause mold and fungus in the body)

  • Chew:

  • • Spend time chewing your food and giving the digestive enzymes in your mouth time to start breaking down your food. Benefits: weight loss - less digestive issues - less sensitive to foods.

  • Eat sitting and in a peaceful environment:

  • • This improves digestion.

  • Water intake while eating:

  • • A lot of fluids during a meal delays digestion because it dilutes the stomach acid.

    • Stop drinking 30 minutes before a meal and start again an hour or 2 after eating.

  • Hours between eating:

  • • Digestion takes 3.5 - 4 hours. Rest 1 hour so eat every 4.5 to 5 hours. Give the body time to fully digest before you fill it with food again.

    • Starving between meals? The body often doesn’t know the difference between thirst and hunger. Drink water!

  • Apply the A’s

  • • Attainable (capable of being done or carried out)

    • • Start small: Pick what part is most doable for you and start there. Then build.

    • Affordable (inexpensive, and reasonably priced)

    • • Breast milk - the cheapest and best thing to feed your baby.

      • When you chew properly you eat less therefore saving money.

    • Achievable (able to be brought about or reached successfully)

Episode 7: Inhale

Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" The best way to inhale is in the nose and out the nose.

• This is how you get the optimum amount of oxygen.

• Proper oxygen gives 36x more energy to the brain. Benefits of breathing in the nose:

• Purifies the air

• Humidifies the air

• Warms the air

• Balances the blood gases

• Pressurizes the air for lungs

Mouth breathing can cause issues:

• Potential issues with chronic mouth breathing:

• Dry mouth: Can lead to bad breath and gum problems

• Facial development issues: In children, prolonged mouth breathing can affect jaw structure and facial development

• Increased risk of infection: By bypassing the filtering mechanism of the nose, mouth breathing may expose you to more airborne pathogens

Air Purifier:

• Key reasons to use an air purifier:

• Alleviates allergies: Effectively filters out allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, which can significantly reduce allergy symptoms.

• Asthma management: Helps manage asthma symptoms by minimizing airborne irritants that can trigger attacks.

• Improved sleep: Cleaner air can lead to better sleep quality by reducing respiratory irritation.

• Odor removal: Carbon filters in air purifiers can absorb and neutralize unpleasant smells from cooking, pets, or other sources.

LSD(long slow deep):

• Can help with stress, anxiety, and other health issues. Breathing exercises can help you relax, reduce tension, and improve your mood.

• Stress relief: Calming the nervous system: Deep breathing activates the relaxation response, which can help you feel more comfortable and calm

• Reducing stress hormones: Deep breathing can help reduce the amount of stress hormones in your body

• Lowering blood pressure and heart rate: Deep breathing can help keep your heart rate and blood pressure from rising too high

• Reducing anger responses: Breathing techniques can help reduce anger responses
