GOOD HEALTH FOR YOUR FAMILY

How do you get your family to eat a healthier fare?

While it often seems that kids aren't listening, a recent study revealed that adolescents who ate their meals with their family were more likely to eat fruits, vegetables and calcium rich foods. The same study revealed that having TV on during meals decreased fruit and vegetable intake and raised the fat intake of both parents and children.

In one study, one in five adolescents reported skipping breakfast the previous day. Moreover, adolescents who perceived themselves to be overweight were significantly more likely to forgo nutrition essential for their growth and development. These poor nutritional patterns have been shown to have a negative impact mentally, physically and socially.

Researchers concluded that the parents eating habits and mealtime rituals play a pivotal role in influencing adolescent nutrition.

This is good news for the parents who are starting their day by making a Green Magic Shake - a meal that can quickly and economically provide the entire family with fruit, vegetables, fiber and digestible protein.

Establishing this important ritual also sets the stage for you to incorporate nutritional boosters during cold and flu season and during times of stress. Great Shake Boosters include: Jerusalem Artichoke Flour to improve digestion, Lecithin to build brain power, and BioCoral Calcium to boost immune function.

She complained that her teeth were hurting, so I had her rinse her mouth with the Longevity Tea and swallow. She did this several times a day. Within a couple of weeks, her teeth no longer hurt her. After she returned to Ecuador, she found that she no longer needed the surgery!
