How Juicing Can Boost Your Childrens Health
Many people make New Year’s resolutions, and I was no different this year. I decided to focus on my family’s and especially children’s health. However, you do not need to wait until New Year to make changes, you can set a date any time of the year to make a fresh start.
This year, my main focus was to increase my kids’ consumption of fruit and vegetables. No easy task, but an important one, especially over winter. The nutritional boost can help protect against colds and other viruses. I wanted them to eat more fresh, preferably organic, produce from the grocery store. In their fresh form, fruit and vegetables contain a huge amount of vitamins and minerals.
If you you knew my kids, whom I am sure are like many, this was not going to be easy. I did however find a solution, in the form of juicing. Not only does freshly squeezed juice contain so many nutritious benefits, the different combinations you can make prevents them from getting bored and, in fact, wanting more.
The following is some of the main benefits for juicing for kids:
1. I have found that involving the kids in the making ot the juice is a fun event and a great way to bond. They can stand on a chair and help you push all the fruit and vegetables through the machine. Not only do they enjoy it but they appreciate the drink more and will drink it with no fuss. Clean up is simple as well. taking only about ten minutes.
2. A lot of children are not big veggie eaters, especially if they are anything like mine. Juicing provides the perfect solution for getting them to eat a wide range of different veggies in their raw fresh state. So they are getting more benefits than if the vegetables were cooked. This makes everyone in the home happier.
3. If your children start to eat more fresh fruit juice you will find they will quickly go off sweet sodas. So not only do they get the benefits from the juice they reduce their intake of sugar, chemicals and additives. These can all contribute to childhood obesity and many illnesses later in life. It will also save you money on buying these expensive drinks as well.
If you have made or set any goals for your family this year, then make their health a priority and in particular look at juicing. It is great fun, that your children can be involved in and will provide them with many health benefits for years to come.
