Funny I just saw this post. At the pediatrician's office today with my kids for their appointment, he asked my husband and I.. how do you feed your kids using the ancient ways? My husband started answering, and I was confused so I asked... what do you mean by the ancient ways?
So he said, meat, egg, fish, providing food in the simplest forms instead of adding stuff to please our tongues e.g sauces, frying etc are the ancient ways. In his words, your taste buds/ tongue may not be happy with you but your body will thank you. That was quite enlightening. My husband is a health nut and was just giving me the stare. Lol. I am a sweet tooth so It gave me things to think on.
Oh wow. And the truth is, with time, our taste buds will adjust. But addiction makes it hard to change🥲
Very very true. I realised that the moment I stopped stocking up juice, our hospital visits reduced drastically. Also working on reducing biscuits intakes, but its not easy sha o. Slow and steady is the motivation
Since adaeze went to the abroad, she has been looking so good and slaying her looks... it must be nice... ❤😊 nice vlog, BTW
😄 thank you ❤️
Facts
Who said abroad is not good?😂
She needs it oh. Adaeze nor gree for anybody this year oh. Anyhoes, you look so good no doubt❤
I knew there was a reason I fell in love with your channel! Early this year your best friend made a short showing “what she shops for her family” and I made a comment about being concerned about the amount of processed foods, snacks, biscuits and juice in her food haul but I was crucified by her keyboard warriors! I’m so glad that you’re educating Nigerian mothers. Somehow juice, baby fornulae biscuits, pizzas are now symbols of affluence. Weve been convinced that semovita , oat fufu is healthier than our fibre rich garri . Nollywood would show folks drinking sugar water aka juice with their rice and we will think theyve arrived . God bless you Ada for doing Gods work.
Oh, finally someone that understands that our garri and other swallows are better than oat fufu. Oats is full blown carbohydrate so when i see our people claiming to be on a diet and eating oat fufu i smile but would never comment because the keyboard warriors are plenty. I'll rather eat garri and akpu if i had them readily available.
The company/manufacturers, government e.t.c do not care about your health, they are focused on profit! I learnt this from a healthy masterclass I attended late last year. My advice is, always read your labels, question every single ingredient on the list, also note that sugar on labels have different names so do not expect to see 'sugar' spelt out on the ingredient list.
I think it is very important not to just avoid giving your child things that does not benefit their health, the most important thing is TEACHING your child about the nutrients in the food. This really helped me as a mom with now teenagers 15,19
Amen to your prayer 🙏🏾
Thank you. Sometimes I try to make them eat some things just because I said so, but explaining to them why makes more sense.
@@AdaezesSpaceexplaining to my children the benefits has helped me reduce the struggle of forcing them, I say things like eat liver, it’s helps you grow better and stronger, boom they all want to eat liver because they want to grow stronger 😂😂
There's the dirty dozen and clean 15. That helps in knowing fruits and veggies with pesticide residues. We also follow Flav City. His name is Bobby Parrish. He's so good with this stuff. He goes into stores and does reviews on healthy or not foods.
I love this video Adaeze. It's refreshingly good.
Nice. I'll check him out. Thank you
I minimize the way i put packed drinks for lunch packs for the kids and same for adults too👌👌👌. We need to take care of our family.
I love this topic❤! Keep talking about this, it’s so important
This is a good reminder for me to go back to my healthy lifestyle. I have let loose the past one month and I have started to see the effects, which is not good.
Great enlightenment! Good job Adaeze! You are not alone in th I s journey ❤
Thank you for this video because I thought something was wrong with me.
Whenever I say I give my daughter drinks once a week or even once in two weeks, people look at me like a weirdo
Thank you for information ❤
Adaeze the weather abroad is so good for your skin you are really glowing. You are on point with this topic😍
Thanks for this video Adaez, well articulated as always. It was very insightful and so true. Yes I also have that addiction of having dessert (sweet or savoury) after meals. Def sharing this video with with my fellow first time mum friends.
This is insightful, Thank you!
The accessibility to these foods we are trying to avoid makes it so difficult, it requires discipline. Older generations didn’t grow up eating this much sugar and unhealthy food; it’s sad.
I bet we are all guilty of the cereal and milk-feeding for the picky child. It made me feel so guilty that I had to change that for my second baby. I’m currently on a journey of trying out healthy options for food and eliminating potential dangers(processed foods) one step at a time.
So help us God.
I have SO MUCH to say on this topic. Besides agreeing with everything you’ve said, even the way we portion our meals as Nigerians is so unhealthy. Protein is always supposed to be more than carbohydrates on your plate, but people will argue that it’s greed. How false! It’s as a result of socioeconomic challenges that people do not/cannot practise this. Plenty rice and one small chicken doesn’t make sense. I used to think Nigerian food was healthier than Western fast food until I realized how much oil we use to cook. Also, meat does not need to be boiled AND fried. Overcooking reduces the nutritional value of our food. There are so many food practices we need to unlearn and it’s discussions like this that will help us grow (and the wisdom of God).
Thank you so much dear sis for sharing and this really enlightens us as parents,
When you started this video, was curious to know what you wanted to say.But listening to you,actually brought to my realisation so much that we often give a deep thought to.In all you said it all🖐🏻🖐🏻👌👍
So happy watching this video. Thank you adaeze for creating this awareness and I’m sure more moms would make better food choices both for them and their little ones
So much value from this video. Thanks for sharing. Can I also take a minute to say how amazing you look. You are just glowing!!!! And I’m here for it. Well done mama ❤
This is a very helpful video. Thank you ma. I am a young mum and I really want my child to live a healthy life. The amount of sickness I've seen in this country ehn nawa
You made very valid points Adaeze, I’m so guilty as charged 😂, but I’ll make conscious efforts on more healthy meals for my son.
I remember growing up my mum made virtually everything at home, from breads, cakes, meat pies , zobo as a replacement for all those packaged juices. But now, juggling school and home front isn’t a child’s play for me.
Hi Adaeze, I think this is a very important topic and just like you, over the years, I have become more concerned about the foods my kids are consuming. The sugar- addiction is definitely 100% true and it is very important we are aware of this. Like you said, we can only do our best by feeding them healthier alternatives and the power of prayer can never be overemphasized. I want to also say that physical activity is very important too, they need to play more and reduce screen times. Great content as usual!
Well said. Physical activities is a must
@@AdaezesSpace ...even in d long cold winter months? Hmmn. that one hard o...😉
Thanks very much for this
I learned a lot from this conversation🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Exactly we had access to queens cake not cup cakes 😂
This video is so educative , as someone who doesn’t have kids yet, I learnt a lot. With everything you said sha ,children learn from what we do so it’s better I start eating healthier so they can imbibe it from me , see ehn it’s a lot 😫
For my kids their take to school snacks are fruits like apple,English pears,oranges and tangerines
Nne I am with you oo.. I think about all this things too just like you. God will help is my sister. We’ll keep trying our best as mothers.
This is such an important topic. I hope when I have kids I can stick to feeding them with healthy and whole meals, I also know that it starts with me, I try to cut back on unhealthy foods. Thanks for sharing
Yes, it starts with us truly.
Great information ❤
Hi adaeze, this ia a very important topic and I really enjoyed it. Pls can you share few names of those people you follow for those nutritional information.
Note: I found some Greek youghurt in uk with just those two ingredient, you just need to really check for it because I noticed they are not much and they are more expensive than the others.
May The Almighty bless you for this video. You don't know how scary all the food are. Even the cereals they sell you will be amazed at how many ingredients they have. You're so right as to how easily accessible these sugary sh*t are. Like getting chocolate, cookies and cakes is like pure water. I'm just grateful my daughter doesn't like juice or anything aside from water. I also rarely give her cakes. It's not easy ooo because picky eating also makes it difficult but we can only try our best. Also I totally agree with you on the support mothers need, it's sooo important. From pregnancy, to breastfeeding, to starting solids and so on. That breastfeeding part, a lot of sensitisation needs to be done to help women achieve and also we need to be more encouraging instead of being judgemental. It's not easy ooo but may The Almighty make it easy for us. God bless you for this.
All mothers needs help we cannot do it all by ourselves truly. We keep trying our best i have reduced all these things lately and i try to explain why we need healthy meals is a gradual process. Thank you for sharing ❤
I realized this a while ago, having 4 kids under age 5, snacks was our go to, especially juices and biscuits. I am practicing healthy snacking now, fruits instead of juices, homemade chips instead of biscuits, lots of homemade snacks now.
We are getting there, one day at a time
Note that this advice is also for myself oo. Over the past few months I’ve gained weight because I started buying yougurt and cookies to enjoy life .. lol because something must kill a man
This is the best video I have watched on your channel. Well done. Great topic!
God help me… am just feeling guilty I wish I had this knowledge before I gave to my first child.
An awesome and wholesome topic 🎉🎉🎉
This vlog has been very insightful.
All those their corn one tin one tin one tin 😂😂😂.Ada you are so smart! there is so much work in parenting and we must rise up to the responsibilities joyfully. May God help us 🙌
😂 Amen o. So much work.
I had all the knowledge before having children
But being addicted to the foods i eat eventually made me give them to my child and it just becomes a norm and a routine and it’s very hard to break
From the way the stores are designed to advertising
Everything is against you
The kind of discipline one needs in this society to eat healthy consistently is abnormal
It takes 3 months to break a sugar addiction, even if all your family and friends and colleagues were doing it alongside you it will be extremely difficult but when you’re the only one
You’re made to look like an extremist
Soo true. I personally feel bad as i say yes to some foods i probably considered treats. I feel now my girl is growing at a rate i was not expecting and worrying about her getting to puberty early😭
You are not alone😔
People think I’m crazy whenever I say I didn’t grow up eating candy. I’m 21 now and I prefer eating food at home because it’s healthier and that’s how I grew up. It’s been a constant struggle with my weight because of hormonal imbalance but I’ve also realized that a big portion of my problems are what I eat. In as much as I make my own food 90% of the time, I realized I like sweet things. Not candy but like cookies, cakes and like you said it’s more accessible now than when I was younger. Even my snacks used to be veggie straws, etc. I realized I’m addicted to sugar. Like I can make a nice meal within my deficit but I crave dessert after. It used to be funny but I watched a video and the doctor said that we have a sugar dependence 😂😂. Omo the thing makes me weak, but I think especially here in America, they tamper so much with the food that even the “healthy” food you are making can be laced in sugar and you don’t realize how dependent you are on it.
Sorry for the rant but at least I’ve seen someone that understands my constant thinking 😂😅
I am so guilty of this everyday biscuit and juices now my son cannot stay a day without them even goldenmorn
There was a time he fell sick and his poo was so strong when it comes out it looks like seed like crumbs i don't know how to describe it but it was in small balls and very painful for him to poo, immediately i stopped giving him his poo changed
I pray with time I'll gradually adjust
God abeg help ooo!
Very informative video❤❤
I love this video 😊
I think the bread at Everyday Market and Market square is loaded with sugar, that’s why it is soooo good and addicting!
Educative and informative
Yes naija KG teachers dnt like kids not having snacks
If I stop bread, I'll move to 80kg in 2wks😂..
🤣🤣🤣 Nne ehn
As in… I think say na only me. Habits are really hard to break.
Exactly feeding them those junks will make them addicted to it later, i try my best to make them eat right.
Wholesome !!
The amount of maggie and salt is not good either😮
Video is so perfect ❤
Thank you🙏
You are welcome🤗
You could try to make your own Greek yogurt. The cultures should be easy to order and you can invest in a yogurt machine or an instant pot
Ada you look so beautiful ❤❤
Thank you🥰
God will help us😢
Go Adaeze, premium content
Thank you❤️
Once in a while then give them selected sweets, brush teeth thereafter.
Adaeze please drop hair plug. This hair suits you so well 💕
Coming soon😘
Apart from GMO food both we and the kids consume some health diagnosis in kids stem from the vaccine they keep getting regularly in the name of prevention.
Omo…. I’ve always wondered when the standard became biscuits and juice in lunch packs. This is even where you pack healthy meals. Anyway my husband and I agreed not to feed our kids sugar. They eat it but on very few occasions
Keep it up 👍🏻! The pressure is real
True story. My first son is supposed to pack snacks for himelf and his brother everyday for school. Today he forgot to pack juice. Just when i was about to get upset with him, i remembered this video😂😂😂
Ada pls share your secret of weight loss bcos U look amazing
😅my now 9 yr old son showed me pepper!! Such a picky eater baby. Ahhhh…David showed me ooo….moving from one hospital to another. Buying all sorts of vitamin syrups. My 2nd and last babies easy transitioned to solids. Not picky at all. The funny thing is dt my 9 yr old doesn’t like snacks now. He prefers his meals or bread.
Picky eating is a nightmare for mums especially😆
Funny how this very topic crossed my mind, I was already worried that if/when i japa what will i do when it comes to food cuz I feel that oyibo foods are highly sugary and processed cuz I try to avoid it for my child. my son has access to juice and biscuit when going to school, at home naaa he eats food and fruits, but still I feel I'm not really do enough. GOD HELP US.
Don’t be worried . You will see fruits and vegetables here na you go tire. Somehow there’s a misconception that japa food is bad. You’ll just need to reorient yourself, try to meal prep over the weekend, freeze it and microwave it for the family. Yes processed food is cheaper . There are days I cheat and buy chicken nuggets or frozen pizza for them to eat as dinner when I’m exhausted but for the most part my kids eat traditional garri and soup.. rice and beans.. they loooove garri! When asked what’s their best food one said garri. And the teacher didn’t understand it
💯💯💯💯
One of the primary reasons I'm a SAHM.
Please Ada what's the name of the stuff you applied to stop Korea from sucking her fingers? Been binge watching and made a mental note and yeah... it has left my brain and I can't find the particular video.😂😂😂
Help a sister❤
Not you saying @20:33 that you ain’t here to scare us, but we are actually scared😫😫😫

Ingredients: Fat free yogurt(milk) (80%), strawberries(10%), sugar, water, MODIFIED MAIZE STARCH, flavouring, stabiliser: Pectins; Plant extract(Beetroot juice from concrntrate), acidity regulator: citric acid.
I will throw it away into my stomach😭
That’s why Nara smith style is better
Making most of your things from scratch
Nice one sis,you’re looking so beautiful ❤️🥰
I know right. That way you are sure of what is inside. Thanks for the compliment 😘
Tinubu has really me helped me cut down on sugar for my kids, right now breakfast is home made pap instead of cereal.
😭😭
😂😂🤣
God abeg
In Switzerland 🇨🇭, the kids are not allowed to bring any forms of sweet be ot beverages or snack. No white bread is allowed ..... and fun part, the african blood in me was like what is this why this this that😅 but thank god I snapped out it and realised health benefit of their rules.
Yes o. Those rules help
When I bought chicken 🐓 while visiting Nigeria. I was amazed to smell 👃 something medication 💊 or whatever it’s that they fed the chicken. Same with the eggs 🥚 when I cracked it to make breakfast. Even the catfish that I bought too. (I was like are these farmers really being regulated on what they are feeding their animals? )
The past few years kidney, liver,diabetes, and so many other diseases have been on the rise in our society.
Mine is coke
Chobani Greek yogurt is good
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
My daughter stopped sucking breast at 4 months while my son was exclusively breastfeed and stopped at 18 months. Tell me why my daughter immune is stronger than my son 😀 although my son didn't fall sick all through the breast feeding period compared to my daughter who was always sick. But now that they are older my son fall sick more than my daughter even when both is exposed.
Other factors may be at play. At what age did they start day care? You did the right thing breast feeding him for that long. All my kids were exclusively breastfeed. No baby formulas.. afterwards we made our own baby food then they ate adult food . I had to fight with my mum for my first child because she thought the child would starve without formula.
Also Quaker oats has even been linked to infertility, i was shocked and sad, now I eat no name brands and will be moving over to rolled oats
Just imagine! 🥲
Traditional rolled oat is the best
Check Dr berg.....
First here❤
Very interesting topic, eye opening
Premiun or nothing ❤❤🎉
Wahalad 😅
Try it.cultured non fat
Can we also talk about the sodium we put in our food, even for our kids 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ the dangers of high sodium content are not preached enough.
The list is loooong o
@@AdaezesSpace Please do u know that food must be 'organic'?
'Must'😵💫
Pls how many children in Nigeria that grew into adults that has cancer because they used Johnson and Johnson.so was it only Johnson and Johnson products they used when they were babies.pls it is not everything some will involve oneself with.just be careful in as much u want to make money with ur RUclips channel.
Aunty do your research and leave me alone. This is public knowledge and has been for sometime.
God abeg o
All these diseases are linked to food 🥹God just help us
