With the change in the weather comes the sniffles and sneezes. It also becomes a prime time for us to boost up our child’s defenses to last through the winter. Here are a few guidelines to keep your kids healthy and strong:

Avoid sugar – remember sugar suppresses the immune system for up to 4 hours

1. The longer the juice sits the more sugar is accumulated and the more vitamins begin to dissipate

2. Be sure to include a good Multi Vitamin, Vitamin C, and add in some Echinacea to keep the immune system cranking

3. Greens such as Kale or Collard Greens provide a wonderful blend of nutrients, fruits and vegetables that are “in-season” provide some of the best defenses your body can use

As a good stand-by, The Smoothie…This is one of the best ways of mixing in a wide array of fruits and vegetables, adding in some extra nutrients, and protein with hemp seeds or nuts to give your kids a treat without them knowing the nutritional punch they are receiving.
