Being a parent is tough. There are a million things that you have to worry about. Your child's nutrition and health is definitely one of the big ones.

Among the many aspects of health, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for childrens overall well-being, and despite our best efforts, modern diets often fall short in providing all the necessary nutrients.

How can we ensure that our children have healthy guts, even when we can't always feed them the exact right combinations of foods every day? Let's explore three simple yet powerful steps to achieve this goal.

Eat Good Bacteria 

Bacteria is often associated with illness and disease. However, our digestive systems also have bacteria inside them that are actually beneficial. Eating fermented foods will ensure your child gets a regular, healthy dose of good bacteria.  Many fermented foods however, like kimchi, keffir and saurkraut are not that agreeabe to childrens palates!

Probiotics for kids can be found in active cultures in yogurts. However, caution should be used when purchasing yogurt-based products marketed to children as they are often loaded with lots of sugar. Be sure to check the label. Also, note that things like yogurt covered pretzels don't have any active cultures in them whatsoever.

Using high quality live probiotic powders for kids gut health is one way to promote a healthy digestive system, and Immunity Fuel fermented probiotic superfood is a great probiotic for kids due to being full of live bacteria and you only need a tiny bit to get the goodness in.

Avoid Antibiotics 

Antibiotics are extremely useful drugs, particularly in life threatening situations. However, these drugs kill both good bacteria and bad bacteria in our children’s guts. 

Taking a probiotic to counter the effects of any antibiotic your child is taking is extremely important, as the loss of the microbes in the gut can lead to long term complications, including food allergies.

While it can be tempting to use antibiotics whenever your child gets sick, it is advised that antibiotics only be used when absolutely necessary and always follow with a high quality probiotic for kids.

Reduce Processed Foods & Artificial Sweeteners

Processed foods, such as fast food, processed meats, chips, chocolates, and so on, can lead to constipation, stomach ache and can also be detrimental to good digestive system bacteria development. 

Artificial sweeteners can also negatively impact the gut. Whenever possible, feed your child a diet of whole foods - including nuts, fruits and vegetables - to encourage better bacterial growth in the gut.

Ensure your child eats a healthy diet and stays away from anything that may damage their healthy gut bacteria. For that extra boost, give your child regular high quality probiotics.

High Quality Probiotics for Kids

Keep it Simple

Keeping kids healthy does not need to be difficult (although sometimes they will test you!) Maintain a variety of colourful whole foods, fermented and bacteria rich foods and sneak in some immunity fuel - it mixes easily into all drinks or sprinkle it on their breakfast e.g. porridge - if its cool enough for kids to eat its cool enough for the bacteria to stay alive.

Immunity Fuel is high quality and certified organic, and kids only need a small amount to get the good gut bacteria they need.  We recommend our Blackcurrant Probiotic Powders for kids. with no artificial sweeteners kids love the natural blackcurrant taste.
