The probiotic choice for kids’ good gut health
We’ve been hearing about gut health and how it affects not just our digestion but also our immunity.
So many people, young and old, are affected by gut problems — constipation, diarrhea, flatulence and other disorders — due to many factors, including poor diet, low water intake and lack of exercise.
Start your child early on the road to good gut health. So how do you know the child has a gut problem? Unusual sleepiness, constipation, bloating and lethargy are just some of the symptoms.
What can you do to improve your child’s gut health? Here are some suggestions: • Reduce the intake of processed foods. • Who doesn’t like hotdogs, burgers, cookie and fries? No one. But these processed foods, no matter how tasty, are full of saturated fats and sugars that will not help the child’s digestive system. Make sure he or she has enough fiber in the diet in the form of apples and pears with skin on, sweet potato, nuts and legumes and beans. Berries are also good, if available.
• Avoid antibiotics. Our digestive tract is filled with good and bad bacteria. Antibiotic overuse can destroy the child’s good gut flora. In fact, double check if your child needs any medication because this could affect his or her gut health.
• Go for probiotics. Probiotics may help ease your child’s digestive disorders and make potty training more manageable. As a mom, you want to know what probiotics are and which one to choose for your child. Probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive tract.
Every person, child or adult, needs a balance of good bacteria in the body. However, this balance is easily upset by a number of factors such as poor diet, stress and antibiotics and other medication.
Children can get probiotics from eating yogurt and drinking beverages that contain probiotics. However, the amount and quality of probiotics in those food and beverages may not be enough.
