It wasn’t so long ago that society started to shift from convenient, fast foods to healthier alternatives or organic food. This shift was driven by a collective drive to live healthier and stay stronger with the right nutrition and lifestyle choices as early as possible. Now that travel and movement are also limited, the need to connect to nature and its role in mental health has also become important.
With these shifts, more moms are becoming nature smart–possessing the knowledge about how to relate well to nature–so they can give their kids only the best. However, making the switch to an organic lifestyle can be intimidating for some.
Promil Organic Mom Andi Manzano understands how overwhelming it can be to learn about the do’s and don’ts of an organic lifestyle. She advises to start small. “I got started by looking at the labels and the nutritional value. It’s important to see, for example, how much refined sugar was added or where the ingredients came from. Being nature smart gives me peace of mind to know that whatever we put in our bodies has high nutritional value and no harmful chemicals,” she said.
When it comes to food, nature smart moms know to look for food free from antibiotics, GMOs, and chemical pesticides. This means essential nutrient-rich organic fruits, vegetables, and grains can support a stronger immune system.
Research also supports the health benefits of organic meat and milk consumption as organic cows are pasture grazed, resulting in better milk and meat quality. Studies also show that organic meat and milk have 50% more omega-3 fatty acids than non-organic milk.
However, it’s not enough for moms to be nature smart; it’s also important for kids to improve their naturalist intelligence. Nature smart kids reap more benefits that will help them grow into well-rounded adults.
Children with the naturalist intelligence will grow up knowing which foods are best for their overall health. They will also know how responsible and sustainable farming has a direct effect on human health, making them better future stewards of the environment.
Besides encouraging your kid to interact with nature and being more discerning about the quality of the ingredients in the food you provide to your family, you can support your kid’s nature smart development by giving them 100% organic certified milk.
PROMIL Organic is made with 100% organic milk, sourced from certified organic dairy farms, with no chemical pesticides, and with DHA and AA, so your child can grow healthy and smart.
