This weekend I attended a Healthy Child Intensive workshop. It was very interesting and gave me a lot to think about. Do we know how to be healthy? I have come to the conclusion that, NO, I don't. I also decided that I need to do better for me and for my kids. Starting today I am going to try to do something to better my health every day.
I love smoothies so today I had a smoothie. It had 100% apple cherry juice, 6 strawberries, 2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 cups blueberries, and a little lemonade concentrate to add a kick, and 2 Tbsp flax seed. It was very yummy and I got 3 veggie and 3 fruits in one shot. You can't beat that.
I am also trying to add 1/2 tsp EFA, 1000 mg Vitamin C, and a pro biotic daily. Cheers to being healthy. My kids are getting all this too. Hopefully it makes a difference.
We also are getting our son started in Occupational Therapy and had his eval today. I am very excited to get help in areas such as dressing, grooming, potty training, but I also believe that they are going to diagnose him with Sensory Processing Disorder. It is very common for kids on the spectrum to have sensory difficulties. I read a great book called Sensational Kids, by Lucy Jane Miller, OTR. It was a great read, and it is always nice to have something give you prospective.
