Mum was right - vegies are good for kids!



Would you believe it? Doctors have now shown that kids who eat a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables have higher IQ levels. Kids who eat lots of processed and sugar-laden foods do much more poorly in the intelligence stakes. And the earlier that kids (and they studied 14,000) start on a healthy diet the better, with more pronounced effects during the first three years! Talk about reinventing the wheel! Weston Price’s seminal work “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” published back in the 1930s demonstrated this pretty clearly, but logic should tell us that what Nature put on the earth for our sustenance would surpass the man-made junk that today masquerades as food. Of course I’d take that early start on healthy food back a couple of notches to include preconception for both parents and for Mum during her pregnancy! Not only guaranteed to deliver healthier eggs and sperm and foetus, but best way to ensure kids will eat those living greens, yellows, reds, oranges and purples without complaint!
