there are many so-called health foods out there for kids that are total junk in fact they'll create a lots of problems and so sometimes I'll have a parent parent that will say well you know my kids are skinny so it's okay that they eat the junk or my husband he's thin so he said he can eat anything

you want right so I'm going to talk about all the other problems that occur in addition to being overweight when eating junk food so let's actually do that in the white board over here let's go inside so let's talk about the absolute worst so-called health foods for kids right so number

1 Worst food for kids :

one the biggest one would be juice parents think that juice is healthy for kids fruit juice right so they do the juice ease they do the orange juice grapefruit juice and they sent it home with their lunch thinking that has some kind of vitamins that is just pure sugar that is going to raise the sugar so high in their bloodstream because it's even worse than taking a coke that or soda they're going to basically get all the sugar and the setting up for a hypoglycemia low blood sugar than a high sugar down the road it's just going to mess up the pancreas and it's going to deplete a lot of nutrition in the body and it's going probably give a lot of dental problems too so if you plan on going to the dentist and giving you know a lot of cavity replacements then just keep feeding the kid juice I even see little babies drinking juice bad idea okay so now you might say well what about orange juice what about vitamin C there is no vitamin C and orange juice none whatsoever why because when you

heat all these juices are pasteurized that means they're heated and it kills everything in it including all the vitamin C the only vitamin C no orange juice is the stuff they add later but it's synthetic it's not even the real thing so you're just drinking sugar water and you're going to just create problems with with more sugar with the kids you know hyper irritability ADD all these other issues so if you just cut that out that would be wonderful and you can have them do other things like I like the like the carbonated water and the flavored stevia they have flavored coke root beer lemon fruit berry you can take ten drops of liquid stevia put it in some carbonated water and they think they're drinking a soda there's no sugar in it it's great I give it to my kids all the time my big kids they're like 21 22 and 19 so so that's important to avoid juice okay so that's number one okay now number two flavored yogurt first of all plain.

2 Worst food for kids:

yogurt has 10 grams of sugar flavored yogurt has about 38 grams of sugar per serving size if you get one of those tubs it's like what is it four serving sizes so we've got 38 times four there is so much hidden sugar in yogurt it's crazy so the the go gogurt or whatever you call it and the different things that parents put in their lunches that's just pure sugar

now even the vanilla has 38 grams of sugar so again that's hidden sugar we want to get the sugar out your chill your children are going to be less irritable hyperactive if you do that it's going to make your life a lot better okay so that is number two let's go to three weight gain shakes so your

3 Worst food for kids:

child needs to gain weight right so you give your child ensure or maybe Peter sure or some type of drink which is loaded with vitamins and calories to gain weight well let me tell you something first of all it's tons of sugar the first ingredient is like sugar okay so we got hidden sugars and it's all synthetic vitamins so you're really not getting the real deal if you want

your child to gain weight the best food to give your child is potatoes red potatoes yams sweet potatoes starches instead of anything any refined sugars okay so avoid the weight gain shakes because they're not going to actually gain weight in a healthy way okay number four whole-grain cereal well first of.

4 Worst food for kids:

all most of that whole-grain is made from flour that's been sitting in the shelf for about six months and when you grind the grain you lose a lot of nutrition right away and anything that is refined grain like breads pastas cereal crackers biscuits waffles pancakes those foods for

children should only be consumed in my very small amounts not in large amounts like you see with the pasta dinners and all that you're just basically creating a situation where the child is raising their insulin and they're going to create be speed on the road a lot of problems of sugar and it's not the best

5 Health foods for kids:

food so in place of that you do proteins proteins are fine a lot of vegetables that maybe they'd like you have to find something fruits are totally ok with your kids nuts seeds for kids there's even a great book that I have that you can get recipes for your child and these are this is like the brownie and the cookies and the English muffins and the bread that you can make without the sugar or the flour pancakes peanut butter cups cookies even ice cream so this might be something that you want to get some ideas or recipes for your children so they could so they're not like feeling deprived because I know when they go to their friend's house they're probably eating all this junk or at school but you want to set the standard at least at home to start

eating healthy and give them alternatives my kids do not know the difference between the junk and this right here this is healthy junk they don't know the difference I don't I don't even perceive the difference actually this is better because it doesn't leave that aftertaste in your mouth so again kids got to watch out what you give them don't give them the gummy bear vitamins those are not real vitamins give them a food based vitamin but these are the most common so-called health foods that people say oh it's healthy but it's really not healthy ok so apply this information and I will see you in the next post.
