Is The Thrive Diet good for children?
Yes. Information from several organizations devoted to children’s health and welfare have reported that there is an undeniable coloration between children’s ability to learn and their diet. They have reported that processed sugary foods such as cereal can cause children to have an energy spike that commonly makes them hyper and unable to concentrate. Following a sugar spike, a crash always occurs. During an energy crash, it is incredibly hard for children to focus and retain information presented to them. A diet rich in whole, unrefined, plant-based foods is the simplest solution. Eating this way will also help children stay leaner and be less susceptible to diabetes and other diseases later in life. The greatest challenge for most parents is getting healthy food into their children. In The Thrive Diet, there are many recipes that will appeal to kids including Banana Chocolate Pancakes (pp. 213-214), Apple Cinnamon Energy Bars (pp. 228), and Tropical Pineapple Mango Smoothies (pp. 223)
