Salud digestiva para niños

Because your child's digestive system is still developing, they are more susceptible to tummy troubles than an adult. Until they are fully grown, your child needs your help to aid in their digestive health by making nutritious food choices, supplementing their systems with probiotics, boosting their immunity, and encouraging a well-rounded microbiome. To best support your little one's digestive health, there are steps you can take to prevent gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, and foster an ideal environment for good bacteria to grow. Natural additions to your child's diet such as optimal fiber intake can work towards regular bowel movements, and the electrolytes and digestive enzymes you already have on hand from CVS will help to keep your little one hydrated while they break down unfamiliar foods. Introducing kefir, yogurt, and other foods rich in good bacteria can boost your child's system as it learns how to digest food.

As an adult, your digestive system is fully formed, while your child's is still growing, learning, and maturing, making each step in their breakdown of nutrients different than your own. Environmental influences, food triggers, and internal stressors can all impede the already vulnerable digestive health of your child, leading to weakened digestive capabilities. The wide array of digestive enzymes are not yet plentiful or as effective in your little one, so helping them with supplements, vitamins, minerals, and a nutrient-rich diet as their systems mature can offer a powerful foundation for digestion.
