: FACT: Asthma—On average, one out of every 13 school-aged children has asthma FACT: Type 2 Diabetes—Incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising quickly among kids FACT: Overweight Kids—The number of overweight children and teens has DOUBLED in the past 10 years FACT: Immune System—Kids miss an average of eight school days per year because of health issues FACT: Physical Development—Poor nutrition negatively impacts bone growth and overall physical development Poor school performance can result from poor nutrition How’s Your Child’s Health?

: FACT: Candy—69% of 19- to 24-month-olds eat candy or dessert on any given day FACT: French Fries—The most common vegetable source for kids today What Are We Putting IN our Kids? FACT: Soft Drinks—Most 8-year-olds drink soft drinks daily and each 12 oz. serving contains 9 tsp. of sugar; Phosphorous in soft drinks can leach calcium out of bones FACT: Hot Dogs, Cookies, and Rolls—All among the Top 10 sources of food among infants and toddlers 4–24 months of age FACT: Junk Food—25% of calories on a typical school day come from junk food

: FACT: 287 Industrial Chemicals—Found in a test of the umbilical cord blood of 10 newborns: consumer- product ingredients, banned industrial chemicals, and pesticides FACT: Bisphenol-A—Found in polycarbonate plastic containers, baby bottles, and toys—is an endocrine disrupter; newborns and infants may have up to 11X more in their bodies than adults FACT: 1,4-Dioxane and Formaldehyde—Found in 61% of 28 children’s bath soaps, shampoos, lotions, and other personal care products tested; considered probable carcinogens by the EPA FACT: Phthalates—Fragrance can contain phthalates— known endocrine disrupters—which are also known to be skin irritants with potentially negative impacts on the respiratory system, liver, and kidneys What Are we Putting ON our Kids?

Slide 9 : Poor eating habits start early—25% of infants and toddlers ages 9 to 24 months do not eat any fruit or vegetables! Most vitamins and minerals are not stored in the body so they need to be supplied daily; without a steady supply, infants and toddlers cannot achieve optimal growth and development Public health experts are concerned about adequate vitamin D intake, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recently doubled its recommended daily intake for infants New research connects prebiotics with improved immune function in infants and toddlers* Infants and Toddler Multivitamin & Multimineral Powder

Prebiotics : Prebiotics Increases the number and activity of probiotics ( bifidus and acidophilus) Enhances nutrient absorption ( especially calcium) Improves digestion Improves immune system Restores intestinal balance after a disturbance due to antibiotics, diarrhea, stress or medications

Prebiotics continued : Prebiotics continued Protein fermentation produces ammonia and high pH (alkalinity) in intestines High alkalinity is associated with Crohns Disease, IBS ( Irritable Bowel Syndrome ) and colorectal cancer. Prebiotics increase acidity which increases bowel movement and protects against pathogenic bacteria. Intestinal flora in infants is very unstable. Inulin –produces greatest increase in beneficial bacteria with least amount of gas output ( no gas pains)

Vitamin D : Vitamin D Essential for strong bones (with calcium and minerals) Essential for strong immune system Helps regulate cell growth and differentiation May reduce risk of breast cancer 50% colorectal cancer prostate cancer ( 55% )

More Benefits of Vitamin D : More Benefits of Vitamin D Associated with reduced cardiovascular risks (hypertension, obesity, and diabetes) Helps blood vessels relax and improves blood flow Lower risks for stroke & congestive heart failure Improved cognitive function ( due to Vitamin D receptors in the brain) Helps maintain health of ovaries, uterus, esophagus, stomach, bladder, kidney, pancreas and lungs Improves health of myelin sheath and nerves

Role of Lactoferrin : Role of Lactoferrin An iron-containing protein found in mother’s milk Important in developing and strengthening the immune system of the infant A weakened immune system is one of first signs of an iron-deficiency An easily absorbed form of iron.. Much more bioavailable than other forms of iron Increases the number of nutrient-absorbing cells in the intestine.. Enhancing absorption of other nutrients as well needed for the immune system. Suppresses the growth of bad bacteria in child’ s intestine ( 80% of immune system resides in intestines)

Lactoferrin : Lactoferrin Protects against bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites especially in intestines May reduce infection and inflammation Studies showing may be preventative of cancer Enhances intestinal absorption, especially iron absorption Allows immune cells in intestines to go about fighting other bacteria and other infections

DHA-Powered Mighty Smarts™ : DHA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that affects early brain and eye development A recent published study showed that children ages 4–12 taking 100 mg of DHA per day were able to increase their levels of DHA by 65%–70% Studies show that many kids do not get enough of this important nutrient Foods high in DHA—such as sardines, tuna, and organ meats such as liver—are not kids’ favorites Eating large amounts of fish can lead to unhealthy exposure to mercury and other environmental toxins, which can be especially harmful to children DHA-Powered Mighty Smarts™ Dagim

B vitamins, Omegas ) Lack of sleep (when the brain repairs and heals) Stress (cortisol injures hippocampus, damages brain cells and leads to memory loss and dementia)

More Damaging Items : More Damaging Items Sugar !! ( insulin ) ( Alzheimers now called Type 3 Diabetes ) Poor digestion More than 95% of autistic kids have gastrointestinal dysfunction (Dr Martha Herbert, Harvard) -- Caused by Pro-Inflammatory Diet (too high in Omega 6 , too low in Omega 3 fatty acids, too high in sugar and refined carbs, too low in vegetables )

More Insults to the Brain : More Insults to the Brain Drugs/Medications Acetaminophen ( Tylenol ) Quickly depletes glutathione ( body’s last stand against toxins, inflammation and free radicals… n-acetylcysteine ) One of the single most important chemicals in your body and a deficiency can cause severe mental and physical issues. “Acetaminophen is more toxic than most prescription drugs” Dr Oz - #1 cause of liver failure

There is Good News : There is Good News The brain can: heal, renew, repair and regenerate itself. Make new brain cells (neurogenesis) Wake up and activate damaged brain cells Improve connections between brain cells ( neuroplasticity) All this can improve cognitive function and lead to remarkable recoveries

Slide 31 : With 47 million Americans uninsured and health care costs still rising, hi-tech diagnostic testing and drug and surgical intervention are unaffordable for many. This, combined with persistent reports of prescription drug risks, will lead to a revolt against our drug-dependent and invasive medical culture. Look for Americans to start taking much more responsibility for their own health and attaining health benefits through the integration of diverse therapies and better lifestyle choices. Opportunities: Practitioners of the healing arts – chiropractors, naturopaths, and anyone who can teach people how to get and stay healthy – will enjoy booming business. Entrepreneurs who provide simple but effective remedies or high quality ingredients for these remedies will gain the greatest share of the expanding “Heal Yourself Health Care “ market, perhaps the biggest growth industry of the next decade.
