Manage episode 415693360 series 3476358
Are you worried about whether your vegan kids are getting all the essential nutrients they need from their plant-based diet? Do you find yourself reaching for children's multivitamins as a safety net, just in case?
In this episode, I’ll explain why relying on multivitamins for kids can actually hinder your child's development of healthy eating habits and why these should not be used as a nutritional crutch.
Instead, I’ll share practical tips on ensuring your children receive all the vital nutrients from whole food sources. We'll explore the importance of exposing kids to a variety of nutrient-rich foods, the benefits of nutrients from whole foods compared to isolated supplements, and which specific vitamins and minerals to focus on in your child's vegan diet.
I’ll also discuss when supplementation might be necessary and how to collaborate with healthcare providers to tackle any nutritional deficiencies effectively.
Tune in to learn how to nourish your vegan children with confidence, without relying on multivitamins as a band-aid solution!
