學童營養所需 Nutrition Basics For School-Aged Kids

小朋友剛開學便需要應付各種新挑戰,身體抵抗力最為重要。除了從飲食中攝取營養,每日補充多種維他命和礦物質也非常重要,並有助於快高長大。

美國的艾爾森˙漢恩(Elson M.Haas M.D)醫生認為“服用補充劑就等於為防止營養不足買了保險” ,這些營養也有助學習和改善心情。

其他有用的營養補充:

Omega 3魚油:蘊含必需脂肪酸,能改善注意力和幫助集中精神,並能舒緩過敏、哮喘和降低受感染的風險。 建議選用含有DHA和EPA配方的魚油補充劑。

黃芪:這傳統草藥能對抗病毒感染,增強身體免疫力,效果非常持久。

鎂:可以舒緩因營養不足而引致的注意力缺乏、壓力過大和暴力傾向等問題。 身體需要足夠的鎂以製造去甲腎上腺素,去甲腎上腺素是重要的神經遞質,負責過濾不必要的外來刺激。

益生菌:幫助恢復胃腸道菌類平衡,服用抗生素療程後補充益生菌尤為有用,更有助增強免疫力。

In addition to a diet of whole foods, a daily multivitamin/mineral supports your child's growth and development.

It's "insurance to prevent nutritional deficiencies," says Elson M. Hass, MD, and it supports learning and mood too.

Other supplements to consider:

Omega 3s: These essential fatty acids support focus and concentration and may reduce the risks for allergies, asthma, and infections. Look for omega-3 supplements in a formula that contains both DHA and EPA.

Astragalus: This herb is useful both as an antiviral and for its long-term immune-boosting effects.

Magnesium: Can help with attention, stress, and aggression issues related to low nutrient status. Magnesium plays a key role in the production of noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter that may be responsible for filtering out unimportant stimuli.

Probiotics: Help restore balance to the gastrointestinal tract, especially following a round of antibiotics. Aids immunity.
