Jídlo a pití našich dětí - Moderní lékařský pohled na kojení, příkrmy, potravinovou alergii a vegetariánské recepty – Bělohlávková Simona (2022)

Child nutrition is a big topic. Sometimes it is said that we are what we eat. There is some truth to that. The quality and method of nutrition determine the health of our entire organism. Nutrition dictates the colonization of the intestinal mucosa by bacteria. The microbiota then has a fundamental influence on the function of the intestinal mucosa. And the intestinal mucosa is the largest area of contact between our organism and the environment. Those with healthy digestion are more resilient to diseases of both body and soul. The intestinal mucosa is one of the largest immune organs in the body. It even influences processes in the organism where we would not expect its impact. It has a direct effect on hormone production and there are numerous nerve endings present. How a child's metabolism is programmed and how the intestinal mucosa will function is largely determined by the method of nutrition in the first months of life. To achieve this as best as possible, there is a book of menus, advice, and recommendations for the nutrition of the smallest children from the perspective of a pediatrician who has been dealing with issues of childhood for over thirty years and a mother of three beautiful children, a vegetarian, and incidentally also a landscape architect, who simply enjoys cooking meatless dishes.
