A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

Baby's First Foods Make a Huge Difference for Health in Later Years  

Children are not only mature adults. Their digestive systems are immature in a physical and functional level. Digestion and nutrition is very important when it comes to the prevention and treatment of diseases in children. Unfortunately, the food industry for millions to convince mothers that comfort is the most important piece selection of food. But if you remember, stay the whole night with one child has an ear infection or fever is not all that convenient. Maybe it's time to rethink how we feed our study kids.

After many theories of nutrition, I have come to the conclusion that the Chinese dietary theory makes the most sense for each approach to a healthy diet. Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years and has much to teach us about our kids.

Prevention feeding is the key to our health and well-being. There is so much easier to stay as well it is to get good if we become ill. The Chinese have a saying that the treatment of a disease is like digging a well after you are thirsty. One might think it closes the barn door after the horse has run off! Consider this approach feeding them with your children. We have all heard a lot about the skyrocketing rates of childhood obesity, food allergies, asthma, behavioral problems and many other diseases. What can we do on a daily basis to ensure that our children do not suffer from these problems?

Here are some tips from the wisdom of Chinese medicine will help to make sure that your baby /infant gets off to a good start.

Introducing solids

Your baby's first foods are essential and determine the health of your baby for the next few years.

Here are some common mistake, if the parents from solids:

  • you do not start too early - make sure that your baby is ready. There is no advantage to push solids earlier, there is no evidence that your child to sleep through the night if you start early solids its simply not true. The introduction of solids too early can cause food allergies, digestive problems and a host of other issues.

  • do not introduce too many different foods too fast. Take at least one week for each food. ATTENTION! Are your children poops? Signs of digestive disorders: gas, loose stools, constipation, increased mucus, skin eruptions. Interrupt that food and wait a few weeks or longer before the re-introduction it.

  • Do not miss the introduction of the wrong foods which foods are the wrong food? Food, the foundation of the American Diet: Baked products flour, cheese, Saigkeiten, ice, chemicalized processed food. ! If you introduce food too early before the digestive system is ready to work with them, you will end with moisture, mucus, and stagnation. in the digestive tract. According to Chinese medicine, this can lead to allergies, skin problems and chronic upper respiratory tract.
Growing children's digestive systems are inherently cold, so they need WARM food.

Babies have no teeth to grind food! Therefore, food pureed like a thick soup with a blender or food mill. Serve warm dishes, mashed, pureed and cooked, never crude. Run a single food at a time this way, you can see whether the child can really digest that food.

Think the introduction of food as a very important form of an elimination diet! This is most important measures you can take to the creation of food allergies.

Here are some ideas for the first food:

  • start with well-cooked rice, pureed in a congee-a soupy rice porridge.

  • consequences with pureed cooked carrots, roasted Butternut squash

  • Mashed sa potatoes

  • Mashed regelmaigen potatoes

  • Mashed cooked peas or beans .

  • Wait until later, the introduction of animal protein, cheese, cereals, corn

  • GO ORGANIC! Do not take your chances with GM FOODS Kids are not just small adults. Residues of pesticides do have an impact on the growing baby.
Here is a list of foods to avoid in the first years:
  • fruit juices. The Sae of the juice can be especially harmful to small babies and young children and can lead to sugar addiction! Stick with room temperature or warm water. There is no nutritional benefit indication of child juice! Everyone is much better eating fruit and drinking water. Starting children in juice is not only unnecessary mucus /upper respiratory tract infections, they will help to ensure that picky eating behavior in the infant and preschool years.

  • baked bread and flour all products not provide significant Food and able to act the same way as refined sugar does.

  • Raw vegetables very indigestible for small children.

  • Cheese Super mucus /mucus forming.

  • Pastry /ice wait as long as possible to introduce this entirely unnecessary food.
We all love sugar and Saigkeiten. Some of us love too much! This is not a perfect world and sugary foods are everywhere. As parents, it's up to us to monitor and limit the amount of Saigkeiten that our children eat. We have to step and set limits when sugar is ebermaige host to the establishment of disease mechanisms.

The list of foods to avoid, looks like the standard American diet, that so many of us feed our children and small children. No wonder we see so many food allergies, skin eruptions and drippy snotty noses! All these foods are moist and causes mucus to Chinese medicine!

Most importantly, feed your children real food, food. It's easy to mash a bit of roasted Butternut squash, such as squash or some other real food for the rest of your family. No need to be a short cook, feed your baby /infant what the rest of the family eat. Just make sure that you and the rest of your family, the real-life walk! It is really convenient, in the long run to have your children healthy, the introduction of the right foods at the right time is the secret formula for success.

Think the digestive system as a stove, warm foods are effectively digested. Think body temperature of 100 degrees for all food and beverages. If you think about it, breast milk is the ideal temperature for baby. No baby food to serve at room temperature, warm it up a bit to support the digestion. Never a baby or small child is cold, chilled or frozen foods. As a result, moisture /stagnation of the results in the stomach and intestinal complaints, mucus and the skin problems.
