How Antioxidants Help Your Family

Hands up if your kid’s dinner plate resembles a rainbow of colourful nutrient rich veggies every single night? Oh and wait…on top of that they actually eat them all, and all the fruit you offer them? Hmmm, I thought not. No judging, it’s no different in my house. It is what it is!

Creating healthy, balanced, creative and budget friendly daily dinners and lunchboxes is quite frankly a massive headache in my life. Secondly, keeping up with each child’s preferences is another headache. In fairness my lot aren’t too fussy but I can never remember who hates avo unless it’s mashed, who doesn’t like almonds and who gags over their broccoli!

How can you give these busy little bodies the holistic boost they need? A few months ago I was introduced to Procydin and I’ve had the whole family taking it. Procydin Junior is an antioxidant for kids from the Value Added Life group of wellness products.

I have to admit that as a busy mom, my eating habits during the day can also lack in adult choices as I run around gnawing on a processed rusk for breakfast whilst barking at the kids to get into the car for school! How can mom and dad also stay on top of their A-game looking after the family? There is an adult Procydin too!

Before we shoot to what Procydin can do for you, let’s backtrack quickly and explain this buzzword “antioxidant”. In child-like terms antioxidants prevent “rust” in the body. In adult terms, they’re compounds found in food that delay or stop cell damage. They clean up the free radicals which cause the trouble. Getting enough of the right nutrient dense or quality of food is the challenge.
