Do your children catch every cold that goes around Draper? Do they regularly have earaches, coughs, or runny noses? Including more green vegetables in their diets could boost kids’ immune systems and help them stay healthy, according to a study in the journal Cell.1
The study found that green vegetables help produce a chemical that is important for a strong immune system. The chemical provides signals to the immune cells in the gut and skin, helping them to function properly.
If your Draper kids are like mine, convincing them to eat more green vegetables is as hard as getting them to clean their rooms. However, Salt Lake City parents can find sneaky ways to add more green vegetables to their children’s diets.
My kids love pasta and sauce so I puree spinach into the pasta sauce, disguising the leafy green immune booster. Adding kale to protein smoothies is another way to sneak green vegetables into their tummies.
My name is Adam Green and I want to improve children’s health in Draper and around Utah. I also promote Mega Squares. If you would like more information about Mega Squares or children’s health issues contact me today!
