Healthy Kids
Childhood as a stage of human development extends roughly from one to twelve years old. During this period the immune system flexes its muscles, so to speak, in readiness for puberty and adulthood. Illness contracted in childhood help to provide the body with the resistance to, and ultimately immunity against, many diseases in later life. Parents often prefer to supplement their children with gentle, natural products to reduce the risk of side-effects, resorting to conventional drugs only when a child’s immune system is unable to cope with extremely serious ailments.
While choosing safe vitamins and supplements, always look for the label claims and the list of ingredients in the product. One should avoid the supplements with artificial dyes, made with GMOs and with high amount of sweeteners.
