Now that the school is almost outside, parents are stored everywhere the pantry for a summer of clean and clean fun.
But with microplastics and chemicals forever hiding everywhere, how do you protect your little ones from these terrible toxins?
The pediatrician, Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, revealed the three things he has banned in his kitchen, including a common category of products that become a bigger problem when it is hot.
“Children are not only” small adults “, but are more vulnerable to harmful exhibitions because of the way their bodies grow, work and behave,” he told The Post.
Because they consume more per pound of body weight than adults, toxic chemicals are required to hit them stronger.
“The brains of children, endocrine (hormonal), lungs, immune systems and bowels are under construction,” he said. “This makes them more sensitive to chemicals that disrupt cell signaling, hormonal balance and neurodevelopmental.”
And the impact of these pollutants can last childhood.
“Early exposure establishes the tone for the lifetime of accumulated risk. Toxins stored in fat or bones, such as lead or certain plastics, remain in the body,” he said.
“Harmful exhibitions during” critical windows “, such as childhood and early childhood, can increase the risk of chronic diseases later in life, including asthma, ADHD, metabolic problems, infertility and even some cancers.”
Although microplastics can be a problem throughout the year, Summer creates the “perfect storm” of the exhibition thanks to temperatures found, stuffed cars and more outdoor events with Sippy cups and Ziploc bags, he explained.
That is why Mantravadi prohibits the following three things in his kitchen for the hottest season (and why he says that you should do it too):
- Plastic bags, utensils or kitchen utensil
- Hard chemical cleansers: His homemade version uses bicarbonate and vinegar
- Sugamed snacks and ultra processed disguised as “friendly for children”
That is why he founded Ahimsa, a colorful and unbreakable colorful line designed to teach children healthy eating habits while eliminating toxins.
When the American Academy of Pediatrics published its 2018 policy statement warning against plastic use in childhood eating environments, Mantravadi said that the message struck him “not only as a doctor, but as a mother.”
The statement made it clear that there were only two safe alternatives: glass and stainless steel.
“Both are inert, that is, they do not transfer chemicals to food or drinks and have been studied for decades for security,” he said.
“Stainless steel is also better for the environment, especially when it comes to recycled steel, as we use in Ahimsa.”
She also wanted the products to be “durable, easy to clean and unbreakable, which could survive daily life with children.”
Finally, he wanted to empower families, especially because the conditioning we receive as children is so important, especially when it comes to nutrition.
“Early childhood habits often persist in adulthood, especially around food preference, meal structure and safety rules,” he said.
“Parents are the first teachers of environmental health and health of their children, not through conferences, but through everyday modeling.”
As a nutritionist, he encountered many parents who seemed “confusing about what really looks like a healthy diet,” he said, a phenomenon that blames “obsolete food pyramids, complicated labels and a comfortable food system for comfort made it difficult for families to teach balanced nutrition.”
As such, he designed the products to serve as “visual map for a balanced food”, completed with compartments that make the understanding of the portion fun and free from the variety.
“We are not just food, but we are remodeling the literacy of food in a practical, safe and built way to last,” he said.
“I believe not only to reduce the risk today, but also to invest in your lifelong health.”
