We suggest that parents focus on promoting a healthy diet for their children first, rather than relying on supplements. While supplements may seem like a quick fix, a balanced diet provides essential nutrients for children's growth and development.
It's important to keep in mind that changing eating habits can take time and require patience. Children may not be receptive to trying new foods and may have particular preferences, but parents can help by offering a variety of nutrient-rich foods, involving their children in meal planning and preparation, and setting a positive example. Don't give up on encouraging healthy eating habits in your children - with perseverance and positive reinforcement, you can help them establish lifelong healthy eating habits.
Best to eat whole, unprocessed fresh foods and to introduce Omega-3 rich foods to our diet – grassfed meat and Omega-3 fortified milk; seafood especially sardines and wild-caught salmon; and pastured eggs. And also to cut down on Omega-6 foods like corn oil, soybean oil and foods with processed grains (flour) as much as possible.
Supplements should always be secondary if you think your diet is less than ideal. Only take supplements on days when you don’t eat liver, seafood and a salad.
