Schools have opened, herbal advice from experts for the rush for healthy eating
With the start of the new academic year, experts emphasize the importance of natural nutrition, especially for kindergarten and primary school students, and point out that ready-made foods invite many damages, especially to the immune system.
With the start of the new academic year, natural nutrition advice came from experts, especially for the families of primary and kindergarten students. Stating that fast food style foods harm the immune system and explaining the benefits of homemade natural products, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Technician Ayşen Çebiç said, “We can add homemade yogurts, homemade fruit juices, liquid propolis into these juices rather than consuming ready-made foods for our children. In addition, our children can be sent to school with breakfast in the morning. In general, our kindergarten children and first graders produce a lot of diseases, and they are transmitted from person to person. In order to increase the defense mechanism of the child, we need to pay attention to feeding our children naturally. In addition, we see a lot of flu infections and sore throats during seasonal transitions, as the weather gets colder. Our incoming clients mostly come from such sore throats and flu infections. For this, we recommend consuming linden, lemon instead of tea after dinner, consuming pomegranate flowers containing vitamin C and making natural herbal teas. Of course, while making these herbal teas, we also need to make our children drink these herbal teas and we need to consume at least one glass of water a day.”
“Drinking mineral water and adding black mulberry extract to it is important for increasing immunity and bone development”
Pointing out that instead of consuming ready-made fruit juices in school-age children, black mulberry extract will be added to the nutrition list in the form of fruit juice, Ayşen Çebiç said, “I especially recommend that our school-age children drink black mulberry extract in mineral water to increase the defense system and for bone development. Because our children cannot consume natural plain mineral water. It tastes a bit bitter. We can mix the black mulberry extract with this and put it in the diet of our children in the form of a fruit juice. We can add it to their yogurt and make fruit yogurt with black mulberry extract for our children. Thanks to the vitamin C and immune-boosting effect of black mulberry extract, it both protects our children from diseases and increases body defenses. We can add spindle seed flour and carob powder to homemade yogurt and give our children a richer breakfast. There is an old saying that 'the seed of the spindle makes bone, the skin makes skin, and the meat makes meat'. It has been scientifically proven that it strengthens the child's metabolism and increases the defense system.”
“Instead of unhealthy foods, we can make our children consume more natural, more herbal products”
Çebiç said, “We can make our children consume fruity yogurt with some jams and blackberry extracts that we will add to yogurt at home instead of ready-made packaged products. However, we can give our children the habit of eating plenty of fruit. Recently, the consumption of French fries, fast food, sausage and salami has become very common in children. Instead of these unhealthy foods, we can make our children consume more natural, more herbal products. One of the products we recommend here is oats and it is a fact that it is very beneficial for the development of the child.”
