Our philosophy has always been “ food first ” so we want to encourage everyone to always begin with healthy eating . Supplements should not replace healthy eating . Step one is to encourage kids to eat plenty of fresh foods , and we need to set a good example ourselves . Parents mostly control what their kids eat because they do the grocery shopping and buy their kid ’ s food . That being said , we know that kids can be picky eaters and have their own strong likes and dislikes .
According to multiple studies , kids are not consuming enough servings of fresh fruit , vegetables or greens each day . We need to make an effort to add a wide variety of different colored fresh fruits and green veggies to smoothies and serve plenty of veggies at other meals to deliver a wide array of plant nutrients . Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins , minerals and antioxidants to support immune health and overall wellness .
These will also help to fill kids up and provide important dietary fiber for regular healthy bowels .
While they are at home , ask your kids to help prepare foods and perhaps make their own smoothies . Try experimenting with new fruits and other healthy ingredients such as almond butter . As you prepare fruits and veggies , talk to them about how important vitamins and minerals are for their health . As we all know , kids can be picky eaters , so be prepared and make food look appealing and fun whenever possible . Variety is important to make sure that they get all their essential nutrients .
But still , “ keeping kids healthy ” can be a challenge , so it ’ s a good idea to provide that extra insurance by supplementing with clean , high-quality products such as GoL Kids ! Here ’ s a quick snapshot of these exciting products .
