Hi, I'm back. Today, actually we're going to talk about some things that you can enhance your child's digestion. Obviously, one of the things is nutritious, whole foods. Obviously your vegetables, whole wheat even better when it's actually sprouted or if it's actually naturally lebined bread, which is really nice and healthy because it has all the nutrients in there. And actually more nutrients become more available to your child and to yourself if it's naturally lebined or if it's sprouted and it's very helpful that way. Eggs, obviously, but what's most important is the fact that no matter how healthy your child's food is, it's not going to be helpful for them if they're unable to digest it well. Your child's not going to absorb those nutrients and without those nutrients, they're not going to have proper body and brain development, which is obviously what you want. So all these healthy foods, not going to help you out any if they can't digest it well.
