RBTI General Recommendations for Children

Without "Numbering Your Life with RBTI" you can have healthy children with fewer missed days of school, fewer cavities, and less overall problems most children face just by following a few general recommendations.

These recommendations are for children under the age of 12 years old or puberty. By the time a child goes through puberty their liver is strong enough to digest a more adult diet. Before puberty, the digestive system is still tender and needs to be taken care of with discretion. Teach your child that certain foods are for grown-ups just like certain drinks are for adults.

If your child has health or emotional issues please check their numbers and create a personalized diet plan just for them. Numbers never lie no matter how old or young. Health by the Numbers through RBTI is always available from newborn on.

Please follow as many of these general recommendations as possible. If necessary, it may be easier to slowly implement new regimes slowly. Start with drinking of water and eating a healthy breakfast. Move on to something else when water and breakfast are made into a habit or are easily achieved. It is best to keep peace in the home. So, slow implementation of these recommendations may be necessary.

Ø Drink a lot of distilled water between meals, based on 1/2 of weight converted to ounces. 68 lb. child = 34 oz. water.

Ø No salt shaker on the table. Use very lightly in cooking.

Ø Plenty of vegetables, with much variety.

Ø Use vegetable-protein meat substitutes, homemade or commercial about every other day.

Ø Avoid all white potato products in diet (they upset the blood sugar balance).

Ø No fish or meat until 12 years old.

Ø No nuts or nut butters until the age of 8 years old unless nuts are well steamed or boiled.

Ø Eggs can be used about 2 times per week.

Ø Evening meal should be before 6 PM so they can expend some energy before bed.

Ø Buckwheat pancakes or whole grain waffles are good once a week for breakfast.

Ø One slice of toast per day for breakfast, except on pancake days.

Ø About twice a week, have a breakfast-type meat substitute with a scrambled egg for breakfast.
