We have 10 times more bacteria in and on our bodies than we have human cells. Clearly we have evolved as humans along with these bacteria viruses and parasites and could not live without them. Until recently we were not aware of how important this symbiosis is and we have not always taken the best care of our flora. Antibiotics for example which can be life-saving during bacterial pneumonia...

  Vegetables are very high in nutrients and beneficial dietary fibre.  Regular vegetable consumption may reduce the overall risk of developing many types of chronic disease including heart disease and cancer (due to numerous phytonutrients present in all vegetables).  Phytonutrients are additional antioxidants found in plants, as distinct from vitamins and minerals, which are associated with numerous health promoting effects.  Highly coloured vegetables tend to be the highest in phytonutrients. You should aim to feed your child a minimum of three handfuls of vegetables per day.  Limit the intake of energy dense, high carbohydrate vegetables to one handful a day.  If available...
