Early childhood is a special time for both kids and parents. It is widely held that during the first few years of a person’s life, some of the most important physical and emotional aspects of development are set in place. Young children are dependent upon their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to meet their needs during this time. To grow into healthy, happy adults, kids require many things, including safe surroundings, a good diet, peer interaction, a variety of experiences, and someone to take care of them when they’re not feeling good.
A significant part of ensuring a child's health is their diet and the ways in which a parent can get around food allergies. In this free video series, a certified nutritionist will teach you about proper nutrition for kids, how to tell if a child has food allergies, and how to promote health and immunity in children through digestion and proper eating. You'll learn symptoms of food allergies, using gelatin to combat them, how to improve digestion, how to limit meal portions, and how to promote a healthy immune system. Keep your kids healthy with these nutrition tips!
"Hi there. This is Lisa La Barr. I'm a certified nutritionist in Beverly Hills and I'm here today on Expert Village to show you all about nutrition and talk about it and chit-chat here and there. I've done this for about ten years now and I really love it and I know we can have some fun with this. Nutrition is all about lifestyle; helping your children, helping yourself helping your family, and most importantly feeling great about everything. And that's what I do, that's what I bring to my many, many clients that I have, is talk about their lifestyle and how we can help them. How it can be so much healthier and how it's something that you can introduce so much easier into your life and little snippets of information that you may not even know that actually go so much more and longer in your life and help you out in so many ways. So, basically we're going to talk about all the healthy things as well as some things that you may not even know about that are healthy. Talk about things that are at digestion because that's really what I focus in on in my clinic and with my patients. Because from digestion, everything stems from there and it makes everything else healthier or not healthy, and that's where it all kind of goes from there. So, that's what we're all going to chat about today: Health, digestion, good foods, bad foods, and what it's all about. And I will see you then, take care."
