Top ways to include more probiotics in your kid’s diet
A healthy digestive system is essential for day-to-day health, so it’s important to include probiotics in your child’s diet. Probiotics are the good bacteria in our bodies that help us digest food and fight off the bad bacteria that can cause illness. Probiotics are essential to your child’s health, especially when they’re young. Parents should take a proactive role in ensuring their children have enough probiotic foods in their diet.

Regular and chewable Pills
It is never too early to start your kids on probiotic pills. In their first year of life, the number of probiotics in their gut is higher than it will ever be again, and this has a lot to do with how healthy they will be as adults.
Many parents don’t realize that the foods they feed their children impact the health of their digestive tract. The presence of probiotics in a child’s diet is linked to reduced incidence of diarrhoea, help in preventing yeast infections, and even lessening allergic reactions.
- For children ages 1 to 3 years old, supplementing with probiotics can help them build a healthy immune system.
- For children ages 4 to 6 years old, probiotics can help with the digestive process and strengthen their bodies against infection.
Probiotics are very important for the health of your child. They are essential for a healthy digestive system and help to maintain a healthy weight. Of course, you should do your research to ensure that the probiotics you give your child are safe and effective, either online or by talking to your paediatrician. Chewing probiotic tablets may be more effective than swallowing them for babies and toddlers. The chewing process makes the tablet more easily digestible and the stomach acid does not have time to kill off all the good bacteria.
Probiotics can be given to babies and toddlers with food or water. It is best to avoid giving probiotics on an empty stomach, as this may cause digestive upset.
Yoghurt (with live cultures)
Live cultures in yoghurt are critical for the gut health of your child and in preventing a range of allergies. A recent study has shown that eating yoghurt with live cultures can reduce the risk of developing eczema in children. Many parents are aware of the importance of probiotics for their children. The most common way to get children to eat yoghurt is to add fruit and sugar to mask the taste.
Another study has shown that children who eat yoghurt containing probiotics tend to be taller, leaner, and healthier than non-yoghurt eaters. The probiotics in yoghurt help to support the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.
There are many other benefits of eating yoghurt, including helping to maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a wonderful source of probiotics for children. Research has shown that the consumption of sauerkraut by children can improve their overall health. Every year, thousands of children across the world are hospitalized for digestive disorders. In the US alone, about two million children are affected by these conditions every year. They develop conditions like lactose intolerance and Crohn’s disease.
One way to help protect your child from these illnesses is by adding probiotic-rich foods to their diet, such as sauerkraut.
Pickles
Many studies are showing the health benefits of probiotics.
When it concerns children’s health, the benefits of probiotic supplementation are even more obvious.
It is estimated that about 70% of American children don’t have proper gut flora. These kids often have problems with constipation and allergies. Many people believe that pickles are a good source of probiotics for children. Probiotics are good bacteria that aid in digestion, so eating a lot of them is supposed to be good for your health.
Importance of probiotics
Probiotics are an important element in a child’s diet. Children that do not receive enough probiotics are more likely to develop allergies and digestive problems. Your paediatrician can recommend the best strains of probiotics for your child and determine if your child should receive them as part of their regular treatment plan.
The best probiotics for children are ones that have been tested and proven to be safe. You should always consult with your paediatrician before giving your child any type of supplement.
With all the benefits of adding probiotics to your kid’s diet, we wanted to provide you with some simple and easy ways to get more probiotics in your children’s life. You should know that there are many more foods and drinks that have probiotics in them. These are great to add to your child’s diet if you want him or her to grow up healthy. We encourage you to learn, read and share our post with other parents so they can benefit from it as well.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos
