Probiotics For The Prevention Of Eczema In Zurich

Probiotics For The Prevention Of Eczema In Zurich

If your Zurich kiddos scratch and claw at their skin because they suffer from children’s eczema you might consider including more probiotics in their diet.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that promote the growth of friendly microflora in the intestines. Some probiotic powerhouses you can find in your favorite Zurich grocery store are yogurt, kefir, and kimchi.

Probiotics support digestive health in a number of ways. They have been shown to prevent diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and help reduce the symptoms of eczema.

Safe and natural probiotics can be an effective weapon in your eczema arsenal. Zurich dermatologists and Zurich pediatricians also recommend washing your tot’s clothing with mild detergents, using humidifiers, and bathing them with mild soap and then letting their skin completely dry.

My name is Xarah and I am a proud Xocai Healthy chocolate representative. I also campaign for children’s health in Zurich, and the surrounding areas. If you would like more information about children’s health topics or my Xe Energy Drink business, contact me today!

Rethinking Zurich Schools

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

Rethinking Zurich Schools Welcome to today’s Healthy Zurich Children blog. This site is dedicated to promoting children’s health in the Zurich area.

Unless you have been living in a cave for the last 20 years, you have heard about the obesity epidemic among U.S. children.

There are many worthwhile programs in the community that promote healthy eating habits and increased exercise for our youngest residents. I came across an interesting article last week that focused on how the design of schools can affect children’s health in general and obesity rates in particular.

‘Many schools were planned without thought given to how students can safely walk or ride their bikes to school. Playgrounds have been cut from budgets. An overemphasis on competitive sports has created a disproportionate amount of funding going to a select group of high profile sports, while minimizing the opportunities for the majority of students who desperately need exercise.’ Joel K. Sims, AIA, “Designing Schools To Fight Childhood Obesity,” School Designer, May 2007, http://www.schooldesigner.com/Articles/Designing-Schools-to-Fight-Childhood-Obesity-Part-1.asp, accessed on May 16, 2011

Here are some suggestions for making schools fitness-friendly:

  • Incorporate features of professional health clubs
  • Partner with community fitness centers to create multi-use facilities
  • Combine electronic entertainment and exercise
  • Incorporate movement into lesson plans

As we plan for new and renovated  schools, let’s take our children’s fitness into consideration. As parents and educators, we can also promote lesson plans that incorporate movement. I also believe we need to look at how our tax dollars are spent. Do competitive sports programs in Switzerland receive more than their fair share of available funds? Could we better use this money to provide exercise opportunities for all Zurich children?

I encourage you to raise awareness of these issues in your Switzerland city. The only thing that will spur change is if parents, educators, and government leaders work together to lower the obesity rates in our Switzerland communities.

Dehydration Can Trigger Tantrums In Zurich

Dehydration Can Trigger Tantrums In Zurich

Most Zurich parents have experienced a tantrum or meltdown with their children. My kids usually lose it when they are hungry or need a nap. Some kids flip out if their routine is altered. My co-worker claims her kids get crazy when there is a full moon.

Lack of sleep and low blood sugar are the usual suspects causing irritability in my child, but a new study in the Journal of Nutrition points the finger at another culprit.1 Dehydration seems to lead to a low mood in healthy women. The study only included young women, but I did a little experiment on my own kids and noticed when they were mildly dehydrated they were fatigued and irritable.

Kids need nutritious food and plenty of water to help maintain good physical and mental health. I am Xarah Arnet and I am an advocate for children’s health in Switzerland. To learn more about children’s nutrition and Xe Energy Drink contact me today!

EU Kid’s Health: Guard Against Chapped Skin

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

EU Kids Health Guard Against Chapped Skin

When it comes to your EU child’s health, you might first think of their diet. While putting vitamins and minerals inside your child’s body is important, you also need to pay attention to what is going on on the outside. I’m talking about your child’s skin.

The skin is our body’s largest organ and when skin’s smoothness is disrupted, small cracks and openings can create an entryway for bacteria and germs.

Active EU kids don’t often think of the condition of their skin until it starts hurting. Playing outside in hot, cold, or dry weather can lead to small cracks around knuckles or nails. This painful condition is called dermatitis, or extreme dryness. Temperature extremes in EU make it harder to keep skin moist and healthy – dry, chapped and cracked skin is common in summer and winter.

Many kids lick their lips until they turn red or bleed. Reminding your child to drink plenty of water can prevent over-dryness.  Using a humidifier during the night in your child’s bedroom can also help.

Make sure you leave moisturizing lip balm in handy locations: by their bed, the front door and in the car so reapplying it becomes habit. Remind them to slick some over their cuticles as well, to prevent cracking.

Dermatologists suggest a using a daily skin moisturizer that contains shea butter and aloe to draw moisture into the skin and keep it in place.

Encourage UK kids to use waterproof gloves when playing outside in the cold. Lightweight gloves with grips added to the palms are great for playing ball and riding bikes. In addition to protecting skin from dryness, they keep small hands from slipping. You can pick these up at Switzerland sporting good stores or UK big box stores.

Using a non-drying sanitizer is another way to prevent bacteria from entering through the skin. Look for brands that are alcohol-free to prevent excessive dryness.

For additional tips for UK children’s health and to learn about a nutritional supplement kids love, contact me today.

Energy Drinks Pose Health Risks For UK Kids

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Energy Drinks Pose Health Risks For UK Kids

Hello UK! Welcome to my children’s health blog. I am a concerned parent and advocate for improved children’s health in the UK area.

Today’s topic is energy drinks. Many UK teens are under the false impression that energy drinks like Rock Star and Red Bull are similar to sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade.

Energy drinks are completely different from electrolyte replacement drinks and we need to help our children understand the health risks they pose. Energy drinks contain dangerous chemicals that can harm kid’s growing bodies, especially their teeth.

Energy drinks contain citric acid, fruit juices and extracts, sugar, and a dangerous chemical that gives them their bright color. They can damage tooth enamel with prolonged use.

It is important for us UK parents to model healthy behavior for our children. If your kids see you guzzle energy drinks, you may want to think about the example you are setting.

I sell child-friendly nutritional products that are enjoyed by healthy UK families. To order healthy energy-boosters, visit http://mxi.myvoffice.com/xarah/.

Healthy Skin for Zurich Kids

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Healthy Skin for Zurich Kids

Hi! Welcome to my Zurich children’s health blog. Today’s topic is ‘Healthy Skin for Zurich Children.’

The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it’s easy to take for granted all that our skin does for us. It is our first defense against germs, it regulates body temperature, it gives us the sense of touch, and so much more. This organ is always hard at work and parents in the Zurich area need to be sure it’s working well for their children.

A common skin problem in our Switzerland climate is simple irritation. Irritated skin is more likely to crack, which can increase the risk for infection. If your child’s skin is irritated, look around at some of the products in your home that may be causing it. Soaps, detergents, dryer sheets, and other household cleaners all have chemicals and fragrances that can be irritating. Zurich parents can try switching brands or reducing use of these products.

Basic skin care for children should include moisturizing after bathing, using fragrance-free products, and practicing good sun protection. If dry skin is an issue for your child, pick up a humidifier at any EU, UK, or USA drugstore and allow it to run in your child’s room while they sleep.

If simple skin irritation can’t be controlled, or if your child develops other skin issues, make sure to take them to your Zurich pediatrician.

My name is Xarah and I want to help Zurich families raise healthy, happy kids. My Zurich home business sells Xe Energy Drink and healthy chocolate. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website.

Do Your Zurich Kids Get Enough Fiber?

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

Do Your Zurich Kids Get Enough Fiber? In the eighties, the importance of fiber garnered a lot of public attention in Switzerland. Bran appeared in cereals, muffins, and cookies, and whole wheat bread sales skyrocketed. You don’t hear much about fiber these days, but wise Zurich parents still serve high-fiber meals and snacks daily.

We all know that fiber is important for healthy bowel function, but this is not its only benefit. Zurich people who eat a high-fiber diet keep their cholesterol numbers in check. Numerous studies have shown a relationship between fiber intake and LDL levels.

Zurich children fed diets rich in fiber are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Fiber-filled meals have lower calorie-volume ratios. Fiber is also important for blood sugar, as it can slow the rate of blood sugar absorption.

Do your Zurich children get enough fiber? School lunches rarely feature whole wheat breads and most kid-friendly snacks have too little fiber and too many empty calories.

Though it takes a little extra effort to locate fiber rich foods in many Zurich grocery stores, everyone in the family will benefit from increasing their fiber intake.

Xocai has several high fiber products that kids love. The Xocai X Protein Meal Shake has 8 grams of fiber per serving. Xocai Activ provides 28% of the daily recommended value for dietary fiber. Xocai healthy snacks and beverages are a great way to help your kids stay healthy.

‘Don’t Worry Mom, I’m Saving The World!’

Friday, February 17th, 2012

Dont Worry Mom, Im Saving The World!

Zurich parents: do you know what video games your kids are playing? If you haven’t looked through their games for a while, it’s probably time that you did. While playing rock band or sports games can be fun and entertaining, other games can be wrongly influencing your child with graphic violence and course language.

Some parents are unaware that many games have become more questionable when it comes to content. Many companies that sell violent games target their marketing at younger boys even though mature ratings specify seventeen and up. As with most forms of entertainment, the video game industry has continued down a slide of immorality and vulgarity.

Many kids rationalize: ‘Oh, they don’t affect me,’ or, ‘It’s just a shooting game,’ or ‘I’m only killing zombies,’ or, ‘I can turn the blood off.’

I believe that many kids are being desensitized by very graphic portrayals of violence and criminal behavior. Especially if they play hours on end.

Video games with the mature rating have become as bad or worse then R rated films. It is up to parents to monitor their children’s game purchases and decide what is and what isn’t allowed.

If your son or daughter wants to play questionable games, discuss the content and explain why you object. Show concern for your kids by monitoring their games and limiting their playing time. Remember that video games, like other leisurely pastimes, can interfere with school.

I know some parents who have hidden the gaming controllers because their child kept sneaking improper games into the house.

This children’s health blog is dedicated to parents who are trying to raise physically and emotionally healthy children. I own a successful home business that features a unique line of super-healthy kids snacks. To order Xocai Cookies, call me today!

Does Your Switzerland Family Have An Emergency Kit?

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Does Your Switzerland Family Have An Emergency Kit?

Smart residents prepare for emergencies, and parents of young children in the Zurich area should be aware of the special nature of preparing their families for emergencies.

Since the health and safety of all family members is important, everyone’s needs should be taken into account when preparing emergency provisions.

A 72-hour emergency kit should be easy to grab and contain essentials like water, food, first aid kit, flashlight, prescription medications, etc. Zurich families should consider what each child eats. Formula and bottles should be included if you have infants, and soft baby food (and a spoon!) for toddlers. Don’t forget diapers and baby wipes: you can find convenient travel sizes of these at USA, UK, and EU area drugstores.

Since healthy kids grow and change so quickly, Zurich families should update these emergency kits at least twice a year. A good reminder is daylight savings time. When Zurich families change their clocks, they should change the food and supplies in their kits.

I’m Xarah and the health and safety of Zurich kids is important to me. I am the owner of a home business that sells Xe Energy Drink. If you would like to learn more, please call me or visit me on the web at http://mxi.myvoffice.com/xarah/.

Zurich Kids And Headaches

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Zurich Kids And Headaches

Hello Zurich! My name is Xarah. Welcome to my children’s health blog. I am a local Xocai Cookies representative and I am also an advocate for Switzerland children’s health.

Children are no less prone to headaches than adults. If your Zurich child complains of pain in their head don’t ignore it.

Some of the most common triggers for headaches in children are:

Missing meals or dehydration
Getting insufficient sleep
Being under stress
Taking certain medications
Spending too much time in front of a flat screen
Consuming caffeine
Receiving a mild head injury
Infection

Eating certain foods can also trigger headaches for Zurich kids and teens. Keeping a food log for your child can help you determine if diet is a factor.

If you are prone to migraines, The National Headache Foundation recommends avoiding nuts, ripened cheeses, herring, pizza, and anything fermented.
