Children are very active and are growing every day.
\nIt is important to watch the level of salt you give.
\nAnd it is important to give them a variety of foods.
\nWholegrain cereals are very important to eat every day.
\nI recommend cook from the grain, not processed or boxed cereal as much as possible.
\nPlease watch out with fast food and junk foods, which creates too many problems.
\nAlso be careful with food additives and white sugar.
\nAnd watch out how much snack food they eat.
\nIf they eat too many snack foods they don\u2019t eat main meal.
\nBe sure to have enough liquid such as spring water, fruit tea, fruit or vegetable juice.
\nWhen they eat healthy, they are well nourished, well grounded and well behaved.
\nThey will play well with friends and study when they get older.
\nWhen children are well, parents are happy. It creates a win\/win situation.
\nSimple home cooking maintains our wellbeing.
\nHome cooking creates our life.
\nWhen you cook for the family, you use less salt. Put some food aside for children before adding any salt.
\nCut carrots in the shape of a flower and it creates a joyful dish.
\nBe aware of the coordination of color of vegetables, it is always balanced.
\nIt is not necessary to use too many spices. It will affect the liver.
\nIt is good to learn the sweetness of vegetables and cooked grains.
\nFor grain add extra water to cook softer, it is easier for children to chew.
\nI recommend soaking the grains. It is much easier to cook and digest.
\nFor vegetables cut into smaller bite size. It is easier to eat.
\nFor noodle or pasta for small children cut in half. Easier to eat.
\nIt is good to have condiments, nuts, dried fruits on the table.
\nUse natural sweet for cooking such as brown rice malt, barley malt and maple syrup.
\nSoy sauce – diluted with water half\/half.
\nBancha tea – diluted with hot water half\/half. You can mix with apple juice half\/half.
\nBarley tea – make a pot and give cool through the summer.
\nIf your child is advised in a certain way of eating by a specialist, please follow their advice. Such as egg, yoghurt and goats milk etc.<\/p>\n
Children are growing very fast and need to eat much wider than adults.<\/p>\n
White Sugar, Junk foods, Fast foods, Soda, Red meat, Chicken and Pork, Daily foods etc. White sugar creates all kind of problem to our body. White sugar weakens our teeth and bones. Also it could be the cause of obesity.<\/p>\n
Junk foods, Fast foods:<\/strong> Just fills the stomach. In the long run it will create all kind of problems beginning with obesity. Too much salt, too many additives, low quality oil etc.<\/p>\n Soda:<\/strong> Too acidic and full of sugar. (One school teacher put baby tooth in the cola and it melted completely in a few months) It is very scary.<\/p>\n Red Meat:<\/strong> From a Macrobiotic point of view, it is too Yang. Children become wild. Look at the animal kingdom: Meat eating animals are wild. When people eat red meat, it creates an extreme inbalance and urge to drink soda and eat lots of white sugar, sweets, even alcohol. One day they reach for drugs. It all makes for extreme inbalance inside our body. No inner peace. Researchers say it takes four days to digest red meat. It blocks the flow of energy.<\/p>\n Chicken and Pork:<\/strong> Watch hormones they feed. Kids hormones became very active. Maybe there is a relationship with teenage pregnancy with the amount of chicken children eat.<\/p>\n Dairy foods:<\/strong> Milk is for baby cows.<\/p>\n Cheese:<\/strong> hard to discharge especially around lower body. You can tell people who love cheese have often got heavier lower bodies. It is very hard to discharge. It blocks the flow of the energy. We don\u2019t want children to look heavy. We want to children to have a balanced body.<\/p>\n Ice cream:<\/strong> Become too sentimental. We don\u2019t want crying children.<\/p>\n It may be very hard not to eat any of the foods above. But it is important to learn where to draw the line. They can eat with a wide variety. They love to eat junk foods with friends. Occasionally it\u2019s OK too have fun. But watch out, and do not give them too much. If children want to eat chicken, be sure to get organic or free range. If they want to eat beef, It\u2019s ok too for special occasion. But please do not give everyday. And keep an eye on quality. Always remember flexibility is name of the game. At the same time you need to watch what they eat. Otherwise stuff builds up in their body.<\/p>\n Grains<\/strong> Other Grains<\/strong> Soup<\/strong> Root Vegetables Green Vegetables Sea Vegetables<\/strong> Mushrooms <\/strong><\/p>\n Round Vegetables<\/strong> Nightshade vegetables<\/strong> Tofu, Tempeh and Seitan<\/strong><\/p>\n Children love tofu anyway I cook it.
