It's Monday and the first day of week 2 of my kids no longer getting those horrible juice boxes in their lunches. I made the switch to bottled water with no notice last week and they did great! I didn't hear one complaint. We'll see if they are still game this week.
When I made the decision to clean up the way I was eating I left my kids behind. I couldn't understand why I was feeling so good, avoiding sickness, and overall just doing great and my kids were sick and tired all the time! Finally round one of flu season hit us and I remained well while my kids were hit hard. All four kids were down for a hard 7 days of fever and chills and body aches. I decided it was then time to make a change. No more frozen pizzas, no more fast food, no more sugar filled treats and I replaced chips and cookies with apples and oranges. I put my kids on a multi vitamin and they drink a cap full of mango flavored aloe everyday. They LOVE it! Well after a few weeks of our big change round two of the flu hit all four kids again! This time they were sick for two days and it was GONE! My kids have surely reaped the benefits of me changing their eating. So I stand firm in my belief that WHAT WE ARE EATING AND FEEDING OUR CHILDREN PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN OUR AND THEIR OVERALL HEALTH.
Now before I start getting backlash on depriving my kids of a childhood b/c they don't get to eat McDonalds....YOU have no clue what you are feeding your kids therefore have no place to talk to me about what I'm feeding mine. My kids are FAR from deprived!
