Not to brag, but for the last few years we have stayed healthy over the holidays while lots of our friends and family have suffered through colds and the flu. Here are our top tips for keeping kids healthy :
1- Lots of Hand Washing. Since I have two little boys that think washing their hands with soap and water is equal to hard time we use Germ Block Alcohol- Free Hand Sanitizer. We have it all over the house and I carry it in my bag and car. I like this brand because it is an alcohol free lotion so it does not dry out our hands.
2- Get Moving. Keeping active is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy. Kids need to move and helping them keep track of their movements is fun with the LeapFrog Leap Band. Even when they aren't watching TV my kids could spend hours sitting doing art or playing legos. The LeapBand helps them track their activity and earn points for keeping fit.
3-Relax. Yoga is amazing for kids. I find when my boys take Yoga they sleep better, are nicer to each other and are more focused.
4- Eating Clean. They complain and think I'm mean for not letting them eat Doritos and McDonald's and they don't always eat all their veggies or dinner but we do try to keep it clean and use whole organic not GMO natural foods when we can.
5-Clean Green House. I have switched out all of our cleaning products to organic green ones. I have found that Ecos products, which you can get at Whole Foods, work the best.
6 - Smarty Pants Vitamins. http://smartypantsvitamins.com- These are a full multivitamin with Omega 3's DHA. They taste great and are made with no harmful ingredients have no artificial sweeteners colors, flavors, preservatives or stimulants. The boys ask to take their vitamins every morning.
Hope these tips help your family stay healthy and have a great holiday season.
These tips are not medical advice and SMMK was not paid for this post. Some of the products we recieved for review but all options are our own and we use all of these products.
