The importance of snacks should not be underestimated. Snacks provide nutritious fuel for after-school activities kids are involved in. Nutritious snacks not only provide extra energy for kids’ high-energy needs, but they also help to maintain blood sugar levels. Healthy snackers make for more energetic and less grumpy kids.

Here are some suggestions for grab-and-go, healthy snacks:

• Apples or carrot sticks with hummus or a nut butter like almond butter
• Graham crackers with a nut butter or plain yogurt
• Air popped popcorn
• Low-fat string cheese
• Plain yogurt with berries or a banana
• Dried fruit
• Almonds
• Frozen Grapes

Here are some suggestions for easy to prepare, healthy snacks:

• Ants on a log: spread peanut butter on celery sticks and top with raisins
• Banana Ice: peel several very ripe bananas, break them into 1-inch pieces and freeze in a plastic bag. Combine a couple pieces of frozen banana with a small amount of water or juice in a blender and serve.
• Ice Pops: freeze fresh, unsweetened juice in ice pop molds or ice cube trays,
• Trail Mix: combine whole-grain toasted oat cereal, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries.

Back to school time is just around the corner! It is an exciting transition for children and families, and there are many changes and adjustments that will occur in our daily lives. We must remember that in order for children to grow up strong and healthy, and in order for children to fulfill their potential in a school environment, they must have proper nutrition.

It is important to start each day with a healthy breakfast. Children’s growing bodies and cognitive development rely on the regular intake of food. By skipping breakfast, kids run the risk of physical, intellectual, and behavioral problems. The short amount of time it takes to prepare and eat a breakfast filled with protein, whole grains, and fresh fruits is an opportunity to start the day well for you and your kids.

Pack a lunch for your kids to take to school, and avoid school cafeteria lunches. Kids, like adults, have many opportunities to eat poorly. We must ensure that our children have a diet full of whole foods – protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables – to adequately supply all the nutrients their bodies need. A diet rich in these whole foods allows for proper development and helps to keep children healthy. By packing a lunch, you are able to provide a much more nutritious lunch than they would get at school.

Make an appointment with me to discuss your child’s nutritional needs. Let’s make this school year great by maintaining proper nutrition!

Over 60 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, allergies are the fifth leading chronic disease, and autumn is the most difficult season of all for allergy sufferers.

Along with ragweed, there are many other weeds that bloom and cause us to suffer allergy symptoms. Outdoor molds are another large cause of allergies. Mold spores are common in the soil and on fallen leaves. Mold spores rise into the air during the warmest parts of the day, and then fall back to the ground during the evening and nighttime hours.

Symptoms of seasonal allergies:

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Itchy & watery eyes
• Asthma
• Fatigue

How to protect yourself from allergens:

• Shower frequently
• Launder your clothes frequently
• Vacuum your house frequently
• Avoid being outdoors for long durations on windy days
• Rake your yard to free it of leaf cover & clean your gutters

Specific supplements support an allergy challenged body by reducing or eliminating symptoms, no matter what the time of year is or which allergies you have. Make an appointment with me to discuss allergies you possibly have and treatments that are available.
