Keeping the family healthy is an important but difficult task. It requires time, dedication, and a budget to make sure that they are fed the right nutrients that their bodies need in order to stay healthy, strong, and away from sickness.

However, the task of keeping the family in shape may be quite overwhelming for some, which is why, to help ease their burden, here are a few tips in making sure that the whole family is in tip-top condition:

FAM-palakas BRAIN

Before seeing to it that the other parts of the body are healthy, it is crucial to keep the mind sharp. Our brain affects how we think, feel, act; it is also responsible for our quality of life – emotional, social and physical well-being, and our ability to function in the ordinary tasks of living.

To fortify our family's brain nutrition it is crucial to serve meals that contain zinc such as: meat, shellfish, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy such as cheese and milk, eggs, and or whole grains.

FAM-palakas BONES

To help support the bone health of your family, it is also crucial to serve calcium rich food to your meals with vitamin D and vitamin C rich food to secure optimum calcium absorption. 

Calcium rich food include: milk, cheese and other dairy foods, green leafy vegetables – such as curly kale, okra but not spinach (spinach does contain high levels of calcium but the body cannot digest it all), soya drinks with added calcium, bread and anything made with fortified flour, and fish where you eat the bones. 

When calcium is sufficient in our body, we may reap the benefits of having healthy bones and teeth, helps muscles contract and release including your heartbeat, assists normal blood clotting, releases hormones and other chemicals that the body needs, aids blood vessels as they move blood throughout the body, and it also plays an important role in enzyme function.

FAM-palakas IMMUNITY

Both vitamins A and vitamin C promote immunity which is important if we want to stay away from extra expenses of being sick at it is the family's protection against bacteria and harmful elements.

Serve up some melons, mustard spinach, and broccoli to have both vitamins A and C to your diet.
