America is inflamed! Our kids are suffering in so many ways from inflammation - know any little ones with eczema, constipation, tummy troubles, recurring infections, chronic congestion, mouth breathers, bumps on the backs of their arms? You (and they) need this information about how diet will help bring inflammation down!! It even affects how responsive your body will be to a normal old cold, if you happen to be dragged down this year. :( I'm so honored to host Dr. Sheila Kilbane, an integrative pediatrician, to educate us on this important issue.Some little notes for you to cheat with...5 triggers of inflammation:1. food2. environmental allergies3. environmental toxins4. stress5. infectionDig into the cellular explanation at 5:00 and how omega-6 and omega-9 fats are hurting our cells! The foods we are eating are not nutrient-dense, and they're causing the problem...Best oils to reset and rebalance include coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil - listen at about 7 minutes for whether sunflower and safflower or ok!Best fat sources include salmon, chia, flax or hemp seeds, even blueberries! You can make small shifts in what you eat and include more nutrient density, especially for babies and little ones. Dr. Kilbane shared 4 do-able steps busy parents can take to start to quench that inflammation in their kids:1. shift breakfast - green smoothie with chia, flax or hemp seeds2. add probiotic or fermented foods (best probiotic for adults: http://www.perfectsupplements.com/product-p/jt-probiotic.htm&Click=63027 and for kids: https://amzn.to/2SPSE2l)3. increasing greens4. add omega-3 fat supplement (fish oil - read about how to find a quality fish oil here: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/fish-oil-faq/ ) Dr. Kilbane recommends Carlson brand (https://amzn.to/2DaqUjt) liquid best even 1/4 tsp. -- don't cry now, parents, but she says "no" to gummies!What will all this do for your kids? How about avoiding anti-inflammatory meds? Get through colds and flus without needing antibiotics? Increasing attention, reducing asthma symptoms, improving mental health? This all sounds GREAT to me and worth learning about from Dr. Kilbane! (The success story she shares at the end is worth the price of admission...which is free, so watch!) ;) I know you will benefit from today's interview, and be sure to check out Dr. Kilbane's course to help YOU be your child's own detective to improve their health: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/HealthyKidsHappyMoms After this interview, my daughter cut dairy and realized it made her tummy hurt and it's harder to breathe (for about a week) every time she eats it. :o Now to jump into the course and figure out what's next for us!Disclosure: As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
