503 Confessions of an Upset Mama! What are you feeding your child?

When you wake up, getting ready for the day, what are you feeding your child?

Confessions of an upset mama: I began to think about how I was feeding my children. What were they fueling their bodies with?

As infants, I made sure that they only had the best, breast milk. And I have to admit, the older they became, I probably let me guard down some. Not that I didn't try and feed them the best, but life gets busy.

One thing I learned through my own life, nutrition is so very important. We just can't rely on other people (i.e., government, USDA, FDA, etc.) and the labels placed on the food. We need to understand how our bodies work, and educate ourselves to what is best for our own bodies. 

The one thing our children are eating more of year after year is sugar! Sugar is an addictive drug. It affects our brain, our attitudes, our emotions, our relationships, our tone, our lives. Sugar is very dangerous.

The human body has less than 1 tsp of sugar in throughout the whole body when balanced. Yet the average adults consumes over 300 g of carbohydrates (sugars) in a day.

The daily USDA recommendation of sugar consumption is 130 grams. 

So back to the question...What are you feeding your child?

Trix has 27 g of carbs. Orange juice has 27 g of carbs. Goldfish contains 20 g of carbs in 55 pieces (who's counting the pieces?). Apple juice has 28 g of carbs and a Quaker Chocolate Chip Granola Bar has 17 g of carbs. Let's not forget a single slice of bread at 14 g of carbohydrates. 

A banana has 5 tsp of sugar. An apple has about the same amount. There is sugar everywhere in our foods (real and processed). 

What are you feeding your child?

My rant is that we (including myself) allow convenience to jeopardize our children's health. Today it stops!

Are you ready?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Be your child's first line of defense!

1. Read the labels.
2. Look at the sugar amount (carbohydrates).
3. Control portion sizes.
4. Offer healthier alternatives. (celery sticks, carrot sticks, apple slices and peanut butter)
