The Crucial Role of Childhood Nutrition and Digestive Health

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development, both physically and mentally. It's a period when proper nutrition plays a pivotal role in shaping a child's health and future well-being. One often overlooked aspect of this equation is digestive health, which is closely intertwined with the nutrition a child receives. In this blog, we will explore the vital connection between childhood nutrition and digestive health, emphasizing the long-lasting impact it can have on a child's life

The Foundation of a Healthy Start

Nutrition is the foundation of a child's health. During childhood, the body undergoes substantial growth and development, and adequate nutrition is essential to support these processes. Proper intake of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals is crucial for building a strong immune system, maintaining healthy bones and organs, and supporting cognitive development

The Digestive System's Role

The digestive system is responsible for breaking down the food we eat into nutrients that the body can use. It plays a key role in absorbing nutrients, eliminating waste, and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. A well-functioning digestive system is essential for ensuring that a child's body can make the most of the nutrients they consume.

The Gut-Brain Connection

Emerging research has shown a strong connection between the gut and the brain, often referred to as the "gut-brain axis." The state of the gut can influence a child's mood, behavior, and cognitive development. A healthy gut contributes to better mental and emotional well-being, while an unhealthy gut can lead to various issues, including anxiety and depression.

Common Digestive Health Problems in Childhood:

a. Constipation: Insufficient fiber intake and low fluid consumption can lead to constipation, which can be uncomfortable and distressing for children.

b. Food Allergies and Sensitivities: Digestive issues, such as food allergies or sensitivities, can cause digestive discomfort, skin rashes, and other symptoms.

c. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS can manifest in childhood and cause abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.

d. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD can lead to heartburn and discomfort, affecting a child's ability to eat and enjoy meals.

Tips for Promoting Childhood Nutrition and Digestive Health:

a. Balanced Diet: Ensure that your child gets a well-rounded diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.

b. Hydration: Encourage regular water intake to prevent constipation and support overall health.

c. Probiotics: Consider incorporating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or kefir to promote a healthy gut microbiome.

d. Limit Sugary and Processed Foods: Reduce the consumption of sugary snacks and processed foods, which can disrupt digestion.

e. Seek Professional Guidance: If your child experiences persistent digestive issues or nutritional concerns, consult a pediatrician or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

Childhood nutrition and digestive health are inseparable aspects of a child's overall well-being. By focusing on providing a balanced diet, supporting a healthy gut, and addressing digestive issues promptly, parents and caregivers can ensure that children have the best possible start in life. Investing in their nutrition and digestive health sets the stage for a brighter and healthier future.

"The best book"

Once upon a time in a small village nestled among rolling hills, there lived a young girl named Emily. Emily was known for her love of books. She cherished the stories they held, the adventures they offered, and the knowledge they imparted. In her village, where most children played outside or helped their parents with chores, Emily spent her days at the village library, a quaint little building filled with books of all kinds.

Breastfeeding Exclusively Reduces Autism Risk Significantly

August 22, 2018

The idea of ‘preventing’ or ‘avoiding’ Autism gets parents all up in arms. It’s an uncomfortable topic, and many parents feel guilt or shame for their child’s condition. Many parents argue that Autism is primarily genetic and unavoidable, case closed. If you bring up vaccines, good luck.

However, way back in 2006, we knew that breastfeeding exclusively for more than 6 months reduces your child’s risk of Autism by 2.5 times. The study found that infant formula without DHA increased one’s odds of ASD by 4.4 times over exclusive breastfeeding. When looking at regression only, it bumped up to more than 12 times the risk!

A 2017 study titled “Impact of Infant Feeding Methods on the Development of Autism Spectrum Disorder” found that increasing the duration of breastfeeding resulted in a decrease in prevalence of ASD. For infants breastfed longer than 12 months, they were 6.67 times less likely to be diagnosed with autism.

More recently, a February 2020 meta analysis found exactly what we assumed: there is a dose-response relationship to breastfeeding and protection from Autism. The authors write:

We found a 58 % decrease in the risk of autism spectrum disorder with ever breastfeeding and a 76 % decrease in the risk with exclusive breastfeeding. According to our dose-response meta-analysis, breastfeeding for 6 months was associated with a 54 % reduction in the risk. In the conventional meta-analysis, breastfeeding for 12–24 months was associated with the most significant reduction in the risk of autism spectrum disorder. Our results highlight the importance of breastfeeding to decrease the risk of autism spectrum disorder.

For the sake of our kids, we have to shake the genetic narrative

The idea that breastfeeding exclusively, no formula supplementation, significantly reduces your child’s risk for autism honestly shatters the idea that autism is solely caused in the womb.

It destroys the narrative that autism is unavoidable. Which is a good thing. We don’t want to hide information or reframe a condition so that we don’t hurt or offend parents. This is about the kids. It’s not about us.

Every scientific study I come across acknowledges the contribution of the environment, specifically environmental toxins in the formation of autism. Why can’t we use this information to educate and support breastfeeding mothers?

Breastmilk contains antioxidants like vitamin C and E and enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. These are known to protect against the potentially-harmful effects of oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is a significant clinical finding in Autism—alterations in the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase, altered glutathione levels and homocysteine/methionine metabolism, increased inflammation, excitotoxicity, as well as mitochondrial and immune dysfunction are found in autistic brains.

If babies who have genetic markers for autism are formula fed, given Tylenol, and given vaccines, you are sealing the deal. Breastfeeding exclusively may prevent or lessen the damage from inflammation and oxidative stress, and help with rewiring the brain.

We know Tylenol decreases glutathione. We know breastmilk replenishes the body’s antioxidants necessary to repair cells and prevent damage. Infant formula is synthetic, GMO, contains pesticides, aluminum, fluoride and adds more to oxidative stress.

We know that vaccines can only add to oxidative stress and inflammation. Lessen the risk if you can. Breast milk is the only biologically appropriate food for an infants rapidly growing brain.
