In the last two weeks, three different people have asked me about how to keep their toddlers healthy during the winter months without resorting to over-the-counter or prescription medications.
I am happy to share my personal experience with my own infant daughter 27 years ago, as well as what her experience is currently with her daughters. I do want to remind folks that I am not a doctor, and if your child is truly not well, please take them to a doctor or your local ER if the situation warrants that level of care.
That being said, here are some winter health alternatives that truly DO work! (Please note that I do use affiliate links, and, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)
Eat the Most Healthy Food You Can Afford
What is more important than the food we feed our families? I am well aware that today's busy, hectic run-from-pillar-to-post lifestyle doesn't afford us the time to shop and cook like our Moms or Grandmoms may have cooked, and from scratch to boot. Do the best you can, with NO self judgement!
Even if you can only afford the time or money to eat one organic, non-GMO meal a week, or only add one organic ingredient to a meal at a time, then that is what you can do and be proud of your Self for the loving effort of doing so for your family. Make changes slowly and replace one conventional food product with one organic or non-GMO food product a week and, in a year, you will have replaced 52 foods with healthier versions! Bravo! (This is a larger topic for a whole blog post of its own!)
