Porridge with O-SEED - to give more Omega-3 for kids

Ever since my girl started taking porridge, as a parent, it comes naturally of how i can make my girl's meal more nutritious. 

Omega-3 has been well-known for brain development. 

Instead of giving fish oil, i used Kiwi Seed and Chia Seed form E.Excel wholesome food product O-SEED for the below reasons:

• Very rich in Plant-based Omega 3, ALA
• No fishy taste
• No contamination 
• No added preservatives or additives 

So, I have been giving my girl porridge with added O-SEED inside.

 

How a simple porridge with carrot turned out to be a nutritious one after adding O-SEED! =) 

She finished the serving happily! =)  

• How to mix OSeed into the porridge? 

I made a video on YouTube:

I don't use fish oil omega 3 because:

• fish oil may cause side effects such as indigestion, heartburn, abdominal bloating and unsafe due to ocean contamination.

I don't use flaxseed also as flaxseed has some safety concern:

• mainly to the presence of toxic cyanogenic compounds that yield a weak, highly poisonous acid. 

• flax seed contains trypsin inhibitors and a vitamin B6 antagonist.

• The U.S. National Library of Medicine recommends avoiding flax seed during pregnancy and breast-feeding as flax seed can act like the hormone estrogen

• The effect of flax seed on breast-fed infants is unknown at this time.

•  Animal studies have shown the negative effects eating flax has on pregnancy and reproductive development. Flax seed might slow clotting. This raises the concern that it could increase the risk of bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.

Nourishment during my Pregnancy Journey - I am going to be a mom!!

What should be the best nutrition for a mommy to be?

I have been doing some research also because I'm pregnant now. :)

The below are the list of basic nutrition required by a pregnant lady:

1. Folic Acid - important for cell division and baby's early brain and spinal cord development.

2. Protein - provides the building blocks for baby's growing muscles, tissues and organs.

3. Calcium - supports the development of baby's bones and teeth, while protecting mummy's own bone health.

4. Iron - needed to make haemoglobin and support the increased blood volume during pregnancy.

5. DHA Omega 3 - plays an important role in baby's brain and eye development.

6. Collagen - Collagen is an important structural protein found in skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues. During pregnancy, the body undergoes tremendous changes and tissue expansion. Our body naturally makes collagen. Make sure give right nutrients eg natural antioxidants to let body self-produce collagen from within. 

7. Fiber -Support regular bowel movements, healthy gut microbiome, steadier blood glucose and healthy cholesterol levels

But here's something I learnt early:

Pregnancy nutrition isn't about finding ONE multivitamin that fixes everything.

A supplement is called a supplement for a reason. It should not replace the nutrition we get from our daily food.

🥬 Vegetables
🍓 Fruits and berries
🫘 Soy, beans
🌾 Whole grains
🥜 Nuts and seeds
🥑 A variety of wholesome plant foods

These foods don't provide just one isolated nutrient. They give us fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and many different phytonutrients working together as part of an overall nutritious diet.

I am very thankful that I learnt about Nutritional Immunology and was equipped with this knowledge early.

Instead of taking the nutrients from the vitamin pills, I choose to get the nutrients from wholesome plant food source. Thankfully, in E.Excel food, it provides quality convenience for me to nourish during my pregnancy!

Felt my every effort in giving proper nutrients from right source paid off when seeing my baby girl was born healthily.

I'm especially thankful that Nutritional Immunology equipped me with this knowledge early. ❤️

Pregnancy nutrition isn't simply about taking more supplements or finding one multivitamin that “covers everything.”

It's about understanding what our body needs, choosing wholesome food sources, looking at quality and safety, and giving both mummy and baby a strong nutritional foundation every single day. 

Don't just supplement. Nourish with knowledge.
