Back to School
The return of the school year means for most of us a return to a more scheduled life, with increased demands on our time and energy. It also means a return to a regular meal time and more hearty, fall-weather fare.

Is your brain tuned up? - Gearing up for school can be fun - new pencils and books, new clothes, a new teacher - but the most important thing is being ready to learn. There are many brain-critical nutrients essential to our kids’ concentration, focus, and behaviour: the most important of these is the fish oils - especially DHA - because the brain contains a high percentage of fat and it is necessary for brain development and function. A whole range of essential vitamins and minerals, which should be available from a healthy diet, are necessary - but often lacking because of the consumption of many non-nutritive foods. A good multiple vitamin supplement plus “Bio Strath” or “Greens+ Kids” is a good start toward establishing a solid base of nutrition. However, if your child needs a boost to learning or behaviour, the wide spectrum of nutrients in “Learning Factors Smoothie Mix” has been formulated by a nutritionally-oriented doctor to contain all of the brain-critical nutrients he has identified. Many have had good success with this daily smoothie. And don’t forget that our “Goodness Me! Gourmet” line provides great-tasting food with optimum nutrition when you need ready-to-eat meals.
School Stress can often be an issue, and you can help your kids (or yourself) handle this better with “Bio Strath” tonic. Our family all take this daily - for its many benefits - but it has also been specially studied in Switzerland for its positive benefits in alleviating school stress. You can also find benefit from the tissue salt “Kali Phos” - tasty and very easy to take as it just melts in your mouth.
Immunity - is an issue for those who find themselves - or their kids - catching one cold after another, or fighting recurrent ear infections. It’s important to reduce the sugar load and boost immunity with nourishing foods, plus acidophilus, Vitamin C, aged garlic, and anti-viral drops. We use six drops daily of the antiviral drops as a preventative during the fall season.
Get off to a solid start this fall - ready to learn, calm and focused, strong and healthy. Let Goodness Me! help you be the best you can be!
