Research has shown that children who eat more nutritional diets, with more fruit and vegetables, have better mental health and wellbeing. Good nutrition can help a child grow strong and healthy whilst also enhancing their cognitive function and brain development. However, what many parents don't realize is that what your child eats can also impact their mental health and learning capabilities negatively, if their diet is lacking in nutrition and made up of unhealthy foods.
Naturopath, Iridologist, Herbalist & Functional Medicine Practitioner Lucinda Miller specialises in working with families, nutrition and mental health. Author of two children’s recipe books ‘The Good Stuff’ and ‘I Can't Believe It's Baby Food!’ Lucinda reassures parents that it is never too late to reap the rewards from improving your child’s diet, eating habits and their relationship with food.
During this episode, Lucinda shares some simple tips on how to sneak healthy ingredients into picky and stubborn little one’s food. She also offers advice on the type of supplements that could work wonders to improve a child’s development, and explains why, when possible, family meal time should be prioritised.
