Happy life with love and nutrition!

The more nutrients your child receives the better they behave. Could this be true? Let’s look into it.

Sugar causes adverse reactions to the human body spiking blood sugar levels when not combined with a protein or spice to counteract the spike in blood sugar levels. When the blood sugar spikes too much too often, it can lead to insulin resistance insulin resistance can lead to diabetes. Most doctors will agree that sugar is evil because it is more highly addicting than even Illicit substances! Some argue that sugar is a drug and should not ever be consumed.

No, I am not addressing sugar in its natural form, I’m speaking of the highly processed bleached sugar and chemical substitutes for sugar that are hard for the human body to digest.

Breastmilk is a form of natural sugar that is pumped full of nutrients and proteins that are easily digested by humans.

Refined sugars can cause hyperactivity, lack of focus and concentration, and even brain imbalances! Constant high blood sugar can actually cause brain cells to die! This is why many children who are heavy sugar consumers are those children with problems in school, trouble getting good grades, acting out in public situations or at home, aggressive and generally harder to take care of than those who do not consume this evil substance.

I am a sugar addict. I have learned to deal with my addiction by mixing sugars with proteins, so that they digest slower in my body in order to not spike my blood sugar as much and feel the negative impact on my blood sugar levels. I do my best to stay away from sugar as much as possible but sometimes it is very difficult for me. Who doesn’t love a donut at times? Birthday cake? Etc?

I try my best as a mom not to feed my children too much sugar, but it is difficult being in the relationship that I am with a husband from a culture who heavily believes that children should be allowed to have soda candy, and other confections as often and whenever they want! It is a constant struggle for me.

One thing I know, for sure is that my breastmilk provides amazing nutrition and health benefits for my children, helping them to have better brains and immune systems, kinder behaviors, and more well-rounded attitudes.

Through nutrition, I am able to help my children’s brains grow strong, they’re a little bodies grow strong, and them to have a stronger immune system response to bacteria and viruses.

On the days they consume too much sugar or junk food that turns to sugar in the body I want to tear my hair out because their behavior becomes erratic and crazy and very hard to deal with.

On the days, my children eat healthier and drink from the milk that I make. They are much calmer and easier to maintain healthy relationships with such as gentle parenting and explorative activities that we do together.

Dopamine from watching too much TV can also cause a child to act out and be aggressive and agitated. Lessening screen time can help with this.

Don’t be afraid to cuddle up with your breast-fed child and take the time to give them the necessary nutrients so that you will have a better experience as a parent and they can be a more healthy, well-rounded human being growing the way that they should and not causing excessive negative drama in the household.

Even if your child has weaned already, or they are formula fed incorporating nutritious foods, and vitamin regimen’s that are made for children can help with children with bad behavior. All children are good only behaviors are bad. If we learn how to nurture and nourish our children with the proper nutrients that they need to grow and flourish with, not only will the child be a happier person, and easier to care for, but the parents will be a lot happier as well!

Happy parenting!
