Sugar & Dyes are No Gifts for Kids with Dr. Brandon Vinzant
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?“
– 1 Corinthians 6:19
The Delay and Pray® podcast usually focuses on adults, but I want to discuss how daily doses of sugar and white flour and poorly produced processed foods affect our children and grandchildren.
You will be astounded at the often disguised unhealthy ingredients we are putting into their sweet little bodies.
I have a terrific doctor on the show today, Dr. Brandon Vinzant, who is part of ‘The Wellness Way’ network of doctors. They focus on overcoming the three main causes of interference in the body – trauma, toxins, and thoughts – to go beyond symptom-based care and find an individualized path back to better health.
We discuss all of this and give you great advice and alternatives to consider during the holiday season.
He shares what he is seeing in his practice with children for the last 5 to 10 years—a decline in general health and increase in obesity and erratic behavior. He points to poor food choices as one reason. It is not only the sugar and white flour but all the chemical additives that are within the processed food that makes us and our kids sickly like dyes, preservatives, additives, natural flavorings that are actually artificial, and modifies starches.
It’s time to read labels for the well being of your children and check out websites and Pinterest for some great alternatives.
For instance, Aldi Grocery Stores and Trader Joe’s have some good dye free alternatives that you will learn about from Dr. Vinzant if you don’t have time to bake your own treats. There is so much information out there to increase your health without adding overwhelm to your day.
The information today will help you with your Christmas baking, your stocking stuffers, and your kids lunches during this month and into the new year.
