Health Alert: Detoxification in Kids

Is a kid’s detox necessary? This question stirs controversy, yet many Jamaicans firmly advocate for pre-school detox. Methods for detoxification encompass increasing fiber intake and introducing bitter herbs, which historically bolster digestion and elimination. Also, upping cruciferous vegetable consumption—like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage—proves beneficial. Although we’re immersed in a toxin-laden world, our bodies can manage with proper backing. Embracing a gentle, sustainable detox approach trumps harsh cleanses for all, particularly children. Dr. Tameka Stephenson-Harris, Medical Doctor & Nutritionist, sheds light on this vital topic.
