BACK TO SCHOOL HEALTH
Natural health solutions for
children 
Going back to school is a stressful time for both kids and parents
alike! We wanted to answer a few of the questions that we get a Health Street from parents with school
kids.
1. What can I do to support and boost my child's immune
system to prevent them from getting sick when the go back to school?
- Foods high in vitamin C and bioflavanoids can help (green, yellow and
red peppers are great!)
- Immune RX - boost immune system response
- Thymuline homeopathic remedy - increases immune function effectively,
safely and easily.
- Reduce sugar intake!!! - it significantly weakens the immune system.
...Yes, check out your breakfast cereal!
- Adequate sleep
- Probiotics - probiotics may improve nutrient bioavailability, for B
vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium and phosphorus, among others. They can enhance immunity,
improve lactose intolerance and aid in proper digestion.
2. What can I do to reduce stress for my
kids?
- B vitamins - Children can get a lot of relief from stress by using a
high quality B complex (in available form). Especially good for high school kids.
- Vitamin C - also can help manage stress
- Rescue Remedy - Your emotional ally for its calming and centering
energy. Unconditional support during demanding and stressful times.
- Tissue Salts - specifically the nerve
nutrient!
3. What is a good breakfast for kids heading off to
school in the morning?
- Quinoa - an ancient grain that contains complete proteins, great
fibre, lots of minerals and it is enjoyed either hot or cold!
- Chia - a super nutrient dense seed that is very easy to digest and
keeps you feeling full. It is packed with calcium, protein, minerals and has more omega 3 than
flax!
- Oatmeal - Filling, packed with fibre and easy to hide other great
foods like nuts, seeds and oils! Just add after cooking.
Trick for breakfast: Add a table spoon of virgin coconut oil in your oatmeal or Quinoa after it is cooked to add
flavour and good oils.
4. Is there a natural, safe alternative to the
flu shot?
- Yes, there are some great homeopathic remedies that are extremely
effective and safe for children, easy to take and very inexpensive.
- They include, Mucococinum, Influenzinum, and Thymuline. - For adults
and children alike. Ask the staff at Health Street for more info.

ATTENTION IN
SCHOOL? Trouble with concentration?
