 Defending
Kids Against Disease:
The ABCs of Defense
by Brian
Gill
As a
parent, you sometimes feel like you are preparing your child
for battle when you send him or her off to school each morning.
Germs, greasy school lunches, gym class, and English and
Math
are but a few of the obstacles that face your child each day.
As a health-conscious parent, you're concerned about your
child's
well-being and performance at school. You can play an active
role in protecting and nurturing your son or daughter at
school
without showing up there yourself. Nature's Sunshine offers
key products to help boost your child's lines of defense.
Protect and Populate with the Friendly Probiotic,
L.
Reuteri
The common cold is responsible for an estimated 38 million
lost school days a year. In fact, most children have up to
eight
colds a year, so chances are that your child can be exposed
to a lot of germs at school. Many factors, including a poor
diet, can affect the amount of friendly flora in your child's
intestinal system. These flora are essential to good health,
digestion, nutrient absorption and immune strength.
Lactobacillus reuteri is a particularly hardy
strain that helps to strengthen the body's natural defenses
and maintain equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract as
it
populates friendly flora in the gut. In the presence of these
friendly microbes, intestinal defenses are strengthened and
bodies are fortified for optimal health. L. Reuteri is "mom's
choice" among probiotics because it does not require refrigeration
and is easy for kids to take anytime, anywhere. L.
Reuteri is suitable for
children of all ages.
Tip: Proper and frequent hand washing
is a great way to protect against germs.
Charge
Junior's Nutritional Supply with Chewable Multivitamins
 Despite
a nationwide plea from parents for more nutritious school lunches,
school cafeteria food or take-out from the nearby fast food
joint still leaves a lot to be desired&literally! Our kids
may
not know it, and probably would never admit it, but their bodies
crave proper nutrition. Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients
feed individual cells. Without proper nutrition, kids simply
cannot function and perform at optimal levels.
Herbasaurs
Chewable Vitamins and Minerals provides important vitamin
and mineral nourishment to meet the needs of your growing child.
Not only do Herbasaurs Children's Chewables taste good, they
also contain 12 essential vitamins and seven essential minerals,
including iron, that children use to grow strong, healthy bodies.
They contain no sucrose, starch, preservatives, artificial
colors
or artificial flavors.
Help
Your Child Hit the Books with Focus
Attention
 The
ability to focus on the subject at hand is crucial to your child's
academic success. A perfect complement to a healthful diet and
proper vitamin and mineral supplementation, Focus Attention
provides nutrients (like Ginkgo biloba and DMAE) that are essential
for maintaining brain-stimulation levels while supporting blood
circulation and neurotransmitters in the brain. This special
formulation also helps protect the body from exposure to environmental
toxins or stressors. Focus Attention encourages restful, balanced
mental activity, and it's available in capsules and a great-tasting
powder drink mix.
Build
Strong Bones for the Playground with Liquid
Calcium
Whether in gym class or recess, your child can benefit greatly
from regular exercise and activity. You can help ensure that
he or she has strong bones and bone tissue for play. Contrary
to popular belief, bones are not solid. They are porous and
dependent upon proper nutrition and the availability of certain
vitamins and minerals to remain strong. Furthermore, the body
must be able to absorb those nutrients in order to use them
to build strong bones. Proper attention to bone health is especially
important in children and teens, as they experience their major
growth in these formative years.
Easily absorbed Liquid
Calcium from Nature's Sunshine helps support
bone health and replenish minerals and nutrients the
body needs, like calcium,
magnesium, vitamin D, zinc and manganese. Liquid Calcium is
specially formulated with liposomes to increase the minerals'
bioavailability. In addition to supporting bone health and
the
structural integrity of bone tissues, Liquid Calcium also helps
to maintain balanced pH levels in the body. Calcium, a naturally
alkaline substance, helps to offset the primarily acid-forming
foods, meats, cheese and sugar, ever present in our kids' diets.
Great-tasting Nature's Sunshine Liquid Calcium is a great choice
for your child.
