Getting Kids to Eat Fish Oil

Overview
Getting kids to take supplements is not always easy, but in today's world of refined food and high-calorie snacks, it is essential. Since many vitamins are processed out of refined foods, giving your kids supplements is not only a good idea; in some cases
it is essential. Don't let your kids experience weight gain and metabolic diseases that were never heard of 50 years ago--give them the nutritional value they need even if you have to hide it in their food.
GETTING KIDS TO EAT FISH OIL
Step 1
Sold as Vitamin A, fish oil has a clover like taste, so it needs to be disguised in anything that will not repel it. Because it is oil based, it can go directly on bread and in dairy products, as well as mixed in with fruit and vegetables. Just 1 or 2 drops will provide more than enough of the minimum daily requirements.
Step 2
Don’t buy fish oil capsules, cut into them and squeeze the oil on the food, this is messy, and will loose much of the oil in the process. Go to VC Labs, at http://www.thevitamincure.com/ and purchase an eye dropper for only $25 that will deliver 30,000 units of oil in every drop.
Step 3
Put one to two drops onto a piece of bread before making a sandwich and your kids will never know it is there. Also mix it with something sweet, like applesauce or a small ice cream sundae. Mix fish oil into yogurt, cottage cheese, and even mashed potatoes. Mix well so that the entire drop is not eaten in 1 bite, as this might cause the child to spit it out.
Step 4
Blend fruit and yogurt in a blender; add ice and 1-2 drops of fish oil to deliver the supplement as well as the nutritional value of the other ingredients. Use foods such as lemons, limes, pineapples, apples and strawberries to get a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Step 5
Go to http://www.powerjuicer.com/ and purchase a good juice machine for as little as $50. Start to juice carrots with apples, strawberries, lemons and grapes. This will provide a strong, natural source of vitamin A, while delivering it in a drink most kids can tolerate. Add foods gradually to your child’s diet so that the fish oil taste will eventually become a natural part of their taste, and they will come to tolerate it more and more.
