The Gut-Immune Connection

🦠 Immune Cell Concentration: The digestive system's tissues are home to a significant portion of the immune system, keeping it in close proximity to the gut microbiome.

🦠 Training the Immune System: The beneficial bacteria in the gut educate the immune system, helping it to distinguish between harmful pathogens and beneficial microbes.

🦠 Barrier Function: Healthy gut microbes produce short-chain fatty acids that strengthen the gut's epithelial barrier, preventing bacteria and toxins from entering the bloodstream and triggering an inflammatory immune response.

Which foods should I limit in my child’s diet?

Some foods are not essential in your child’s diet. These 'discretionary foods' are generally high in kilojoules, saturated fat, added sugars or added salt.

While it’s okay to eat small amounts of discretionary foods occasionally as part of a balanced diet, you should try to limit these foods in your child’s daily diet. Eating large amounts of discretionary foods can lead to children developing overweight, obesity or other diseases in later life.

Examples of foods to limit are:

🎂 sweet biscuits, cakes and desserts
🎂 processed meats
🎂 ice-cream, confectionery and chocolate
🎂 store-bought burgers, pizza, hot chips and fried foods
🎂 chips and other fried/salty snacks
🎂 sugar-sweetened cordials and soft drinks

To promote healthy gut health in kids, focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, which provide beneficial fiber. Include probiotic foods like yogurt to introduce good bacteria. Limit processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats, as these can harm gut balance. Staying well-hydrated with water is also essential for digestion.

It really is that simple! ✨

How can I encourage healthy eating habits?

Showing your child how to eat healthily now maximises their ability to make healthy choices as they get older.

Here are some tips to encourage healthy eating habits:

🥕 Sit together as a family at mealtimes, without any screens.
🥕 Make healthy foods fun, for example by cutting fruit or sandwiches into interesting shapes.
🥕 Serve a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
🥕 Learn together about how different foods are grown.
🥕 Let your children help with food shopping and preparation and try new foods and recipes together.
🥕 Limit the amount of junk food you keep in the house.
🥕 Keep a bowl of fruit handy for snacks.

A food allergy is when your body's immune system reacts to a food that is normally harmless (known as an allergen). When this happens, your immune system responds to this food as if it were dangerous. The result is known as an allergic reaction.

Food allergies affect around 1 in 10 one-year-old children in Australia. Some allergic reactions are mild, but some can be severe and even life-threatening. If the reaction affects your breathing or your heart, this is called anaphylaxis.

The most common food allergies in children are to:

🔘tree nuts and/or peanuts
🔘dairy
🔘wheat
🔘soy
🔘egg
🔘seafood
🔘sesame

Remember that anything that you eat might trigger a food allergy. This includes things that you don't normally think of as food, such as herbal medicines or spices.
