Healthy eating is one of the most important ways kids can
get a start on the day and stayed fueled into the evening. Health Briefs TV reports
on updates in this area.
Animal meat which has been injected with antibiotics to prevent
disease is harmful to children and some adults. A North American Academy of
Pediatrics report found that food with added antimicrobial drugs and
antibiotics can leave the drugs used to treat terminally ill children and
adults ineffective. Bacteria in the animals becomes used to the preventative
drugs given and renders the drugs ineffective. Children and adults with
compromised immune systems are more likely to be affected from the practice.
Instead, choose more organic products and be sure it is thoroughly cooked. Also,
organic produce, whole grains and proteins are good food choices.
The Health Briefs TV show reminds readers there are several
grocery store options available in most cities: regular grocery stores which
offer some organic products, fresh markets where the food does not sit in
freezers, coolers or on shelves too long, and organic food stores such as
Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Natural foods are better options for everyone. But
children particularly need all the nutrients and vitamins they can get from the
food they eat. There are plenty of healthy food options for adults and children
with compromised immune systems also. When grocery shopping, take time to read
the food labels on packages. The more you know, the healthier you may eat.
