Читать книгу They Are What You Feed Them: How Food Can Improve Your Child’s Behaviour, Mood and Learning - Dr Richardson Alex - Страница 97

Flavonoids are a group of phytochemicals found in plants, and are vital components of a healthy diet. They help protect your child against bacteria, viruses and fungi, and many have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immune-boosting properties. They’re found in the leaves, skin and pips of vegetables and fruit—so washed and pulped whole (preferably organic) these will provide your child with very healthy ‘shakes’ or ‘smoothies’. You’ll find them especially in dark fruits such as blueberries, dark cherries and prunes, as well as in cooked tomatoes, some forms of soy and green tea.
