Description
This new solution rests on employing nature's powerful super-antioxidants and phytonutrients to deactivate damaging free radicals, the actual cause of obesity and its associated chronic diseases.
About one in three American children is either overweight or obese. Childhood obesity is a crisis robbing youth of health and energy, and even causing children to die prematurely. Obesity among children, which is likely to carry over to adulthood, is also linked to a greater risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, early heart disease, and high blood pressure.
New Prescription for Childhood Obesity provides an innovative approach to fighting childhood obesity by using nature’s powerful super-antioxidants and phytonutrients. The traditional method for weight loss and fat reduction has been to eat less and exercise more, but this does not work for children over the long haul. To permanently lose pounds and toxic inflammatory belly fat requires addressing the root cause of the problem: oxidative stress, insulin resistance and the low-grade chronic inflammation triggered by many factors, including unhealthy foods and environmental causes such as exposure to pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins.
Over-production of free radicals in the body occurs when the availability of antioxidants and phytonutrients are low— and this is usually the case when children are eating mostly processed and highly refined foods delivering empty calories and very little nutrients. As a result, free radicals can overwhelm the protective antioxidants resulting in more oxidative stress and low-grade silent inflammation—which is the underlying cause of chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and even obesity, including loss of energy and premature aging.
Because of their diet, children may not be getting enough antioxidants and phytonutrients to neutralize the high levels of free radicals produced from eating foods grossly deficient in essential nutrients. As a result, they are more likely to be at the lower end of the health and energy spectrum—which is associated with an expanding waistline and increase in abdominal fat producing more inflammatory hormones and chemicals in their bodies. Inflammatory hormones trigger craving and compulsive eating, and loss of energy.
New Prescription for Childhood Obesity also helps parents to learn and teach their children specific simple strategies, techniques, and skills for eating not only high quality foods that are rich in antioxidants, but the right amount of food appropriate for their level of physical activity without dieting or restrictions.
As children learn this new approach of connecting food intake to their level of physical activity on a meal-to-meal basis, they learn that a healthy lifestyle can automatically become a normal part of their daily routine. Along with proper stress management, children will have a better chance of reducing excess body fat and maintaining a healthy body that produces less oxidative stress and inflammation damaging healthy cells and their components (DNA, lipids, proteins, and cell membranes) ––– leading to less craving and overeating, high energy, increase in muscle tissue, and a faster metabolism that converts calories into cellular energy instead of toxic fat.
Now parents have an opportunity to change their child's eating and physical activity habits even before a weight problem develops. Complete with recipes to get you on the right track, this essential guide provides specific and simple strategies, techniques, and skills that will enable children to eat the right amount of food appropriate for their level of physical activity without dieting.
