Back to School Vitamins

Ok team so the kids are heading back to school next week.

I know there are mixed emotions among a lot of you about the this but remember they’ve been at home for a long time, they’ve been nourished, probably had a little more sleep than usual and plenty of r & r time with you. The socialising, interaction and exercise will do them good!

However with that being said a focus on avoiding the coughs, colds and the dreaded Covid are certainly a priority.

SO over the next couple of weeks you may want to consider supporting their health with a little nutritional boost including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and a few supplements to support there immune systems as they head back to school.

Here are my tops picks…

Vitamin D, often known as the sunshine vitamin is responsible for regulating hundreds of different pathways. It is almost impossible to get enough vit D from food alone especially at the moment as the strong rays don’t appear until mid April. ( we use a spray)

Probiotics, the gut is the foundation for almost all aspects of your health. Your gut microbiome contains trillions of bacteria, many of which are beneficial to human health.

Zinc, helps to increase white blood cells and fight off infection, and it also assists with the release of antibodies. Combine with the powers of vit C to boost immunity ( a good multi vit helps)

Elderberry is a fabulous addition to add in, packed full of antioxidants and vitamins it boosts the immune system. ( mine absolutely love it!)

Don’t forgot the food!! That’s where they’ll get the majority of the goodies from! Think about feeding them a breakfast like a champ plenty of fresh healthy supercharged snacks, healthy after school snacks too I always use this time to pack in the healthy snacks, they’re usually starving when they come out of school so it’s a perfect time to take advantage , and then again a healthy nutritious supper.

lots of sleep too, it helps to support their immune system.

Wishing them all the best back to school week ! Have a wonderful week and if you have any other fab ideas please do share below….
