Superfood For Super Kids: Switching to the Latest Magical Ingredients

Taking care of your family can be hard work, but every parent wants to provide the best and healthiest lifestyle for their children. In an age where we have access to extensive research and knowledge, it would be nonsensical not to take full advantage of what’s available.

Moving away from junk food and snacks loaded with unhealthy sugar should be the goal. With food movements becoming healthier and yummier, your family doesn’t have to be subjected to boring food when going healthy. Instead, the power of superfoods can create the tastiest snacks for the whole family – here’s how.

Nutritional benefits

Superfoods have properties that all children and adults should be putting into their systems, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Many people think the hype is bigger than the actual benefit but superfoods are essential to a healthy diet and lifestyle magazines shine a light upon this.

Once you’re on the superfood bandwagon, there are a few things to keep in mind when you head to the supermarket. Medicalnewstoday states that it’s better to get these health properties in via natural produce rather than chemical supplements, so it’s worth knowing the health properties of each superfood so you can buy accordingly (although there’s nothing wrong with using them all).

Acai berries, blueberries and goji berries all help lower the risk of heart attack. Soy reduces the risk of cholesterol and leafy greens like kale aid constipation. Even dark chocolate (we’re extra grateful to Marie Claire for including this as a superfood) can boost your immune system. Try to stick to organic products and keep your meals colorful.

Introducing these wonder-workers helps you fight off illness, maintain a healthy weight and increase your energy levels. Superfoods are often free of common allergens like gluten, too. So not only do they increase the health factor in your family’s diet, but they’re also perfect for fighting flu and colds while still producing delicious snacks and meals.

Ingredients

A wealth of choice

The list of superfoods to choose from is endless and, generally speaking, they are easy to incorporate into snacks without negatively affecting the taste or appearance. Add wheat germ to cookies, cinnamon to yoghurt (a superfood in its own right!) or porridge; mix nuts as an after-school snack or make kimchi-loaded fries: all the above make delicious snacks the whole family can enjoy and are loaded with calcium, natural fatty acids, omega 3, probiotics and various essential vitamins.

Superfoods can also be integrated into main meals to add that little bit extra to your favorite dishes and boost their nutritional value. Services like Deliveroo come in handy when cooking is not possible due to a busy schedule, as you can take advantage of restaurants offering meals made with superfood ingredients.

When kids get bored so easily it can be difficult to give our family healthy options. But when it comes to food, your choices don’t have to be limited to bowls of vegetables: let your kitchen overflow with superfoods of all colors of the rainbow and bursting with flavor. Gone are the days of convincing your family to eat Brussel sprouts: these days parents can spoil with the best food groups to nurture health and appeal to explorative taste buds.
