Getting the Most From Your Food

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I just wanted to share some of the things I do to get extra nutrients

in my sons food.

Immune system booster:

I add ground up shitake mushrooms to the meat mixture. Pactitioners

of Eastern medicine believe that mushrooms, particularly shitake

mushrooms, are good for the immune system. I make a big batch and

keep them in the freezer to use as needed.

Calcium:

I've just started using Watercress instead of iceberg lettuce. It

has tons of calcium. I also add calcium powder to the bread I make. I

use " Noah's Bread " recipe.

Zinc:

I've started making chicken nuggets with boneless skinless thighs

instead of breasts because thighs contain more zinc.

More Veggies:

I add pureed veggies to spaghetti sauce.

One book that I use to help me is " Feeding Your Child For Lifelong

Health " by B , Ph.D. and Melvin B. Heyman, M.D.
