Overfed and Undernourished


I'm not sure why, but a girl friend of mine told me her Pediatrician didn't think it was necessary for her infant to take a multivitamin. I have since heard this a couple times. Not just in reference to parents being unsure about giving supplements to their babies (although some are a little too comfortable administering drugs, many of which haven't been tested for their long term effects on children, let alone infants.) Isn't it worth considering that if American's are sicker than ever, then something needs changing? Babies are being born sick! Children are being diagnosed with adult disorders and then medicated! Over all, people are dying way before their time. Call it hereditary. Call it a muddy gene pool. The truth is wellness is only achieved through rich nutrition. A lack of proper vitamins and minerals causes a host of health problems rooted in malnutrition. Besides, everyone knows that anything that is alive MUST consume living "things" or "organisms" to survive. If the bulk of what we take in on a daily basis is considered "dead food"....I rest my case.

Think about your children. Nieces and nephews. Maybe your grandchildren. I really get on a soapbox when it comes to little ones, because their only choice is what we put in there lunchbox, sippy cup or on their plate. As parents, we pass down our bad eating habits. This is why I am almost convinced diseases like diabetes appear as if they are hereditary, when in fact they are not. No offense to our beloved ancestors, but they just quite frankly did not have the means to access vital nutrients that we can today. Although many of them still lived longer without all out technilogical and medical advances. Hmm. So for us there is no excuse. If we love our children, friends and loved ones we will do something differently. We will make a change. I of course recommend Shaklee products because they are always safe, always work and are always green. Need proof? A peer review called the Landmark Study was conducted by Dr. Gladys Block, head of the University of California - Berkeley School of Public Health. Check it out :)
