Yummy tummies!

Digestion is the process by which the body breaks down the food we eat into usable components. Our bodies use food similarly as a car engine uses petrol – and this gives us the energy needed to live. When we put food into our mouths digestion has already started – because digestion means breaking food down into smaller molecules!

From the time food enters our mouths to the time it leaves our body via elimination, the digestive system is working to extract goodness from food and get rid of toxins and waste. Food usually remains in the stomach for about two hours after which it enters the small intestine. The most important part of digestion takes place in the small intestine, because as the liquid food paste travels through the small intestine, nutrients (vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats) are absorbed and whisked off through your bloodstream and travel to all your body cells and body systems to keep you healthy and growing and to replenish the immune system!

In order for the digestive system to function well, all the components and the digestive environment (digestive flora, bacteria, digestive enzymes, etc) need to be in perfect balance. Children have particularly sensitive tummies as their digestive systems are still developing immunity against a host of invading germs. A healthy child with balanced digestive functioning will have a good appetite and be full of vitality and the joys of life! However, some children have more sensitive tummies than others.

The natural way

There is much that can be done to support healthy digestion and to keep sensitive tummies balanced and calm. Here are some tips for parents:

• Avoid caffeine, milk products, and foods that are greasy, high in fiber, or very sweet, as these foods tend to aggravate a sensitive tummy. Try unsalted crackers, or dry toast or browned apple shavings.
• Keep the diet simple – soft, bland foods are best, including bananas, plain rice, boiled potatoes, cooked carrots, and baked chicken without the skin or fat
• Wash hands often, especially before eating.
• Tips for sensitive tummies while traveling and on vacation:
• Take the following precautions to support healthy digestion when you travel out of the country.

Don’t:

• Drink tap water or use it to brush your teeth.
• Drink unpasteurized milk or dairy products.
• Use ice made from tap water.
• Eat raw fruits and vegetables, including lettuce and fruit salads, unless they can be peeled and you peel them yourself.
• Eat raw or rare meat and fish.
• Eat meat or shellfish that is not hot when served.
• Eat food from street vendors
