Childhood obesity affects health and that is critical when looking at this epidemic.

Obesity

Overweight children are at risk of developing adult conditions at a young age.

Genes

A parent’s job is to turn on their child’s longevity genes. This is done by neutralizing today’s lifestyle.

Parents

Parents have busy lifestyles, and it seems that fast food solutions are the norm. However, it can wind up being costly and time consuming in the long run. Sedentary children who consume a high junk food diet are not only on there way to developing atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, they also will need prescriptive drugs at a younger age.

We can go on and on about the culture’s influence on eating habits which are seen on TV network advertisements in the form of junk food ads. 

As a result of all these influences one in three children is overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Facts

The fact is overweight children are at risk of developing serious and costly health conditions that are usually seen in middle aged adults. The Center For Disease Control (C.D.C.) study found that 22 percent of overweight (and 43 percent of obese) young people had, abnormal blood lipid levels with high triglycerides, a known risk factor for heart disease.

If this is our culture’s way to save time and money by fast food purchases they are making a big mistake. This is the junk food generation that can bankrupt our nation. 

The fact is obesity is expensive, for the parent, child, and country.

Intervention

Intervention has to begin in the home. The food manufactures don’t have the incentive that the family has. For the faux food industry it is all about profit. For the family it is about raising healthy children. That means making wise choices about what is served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What goes on the grocery list and the table is one of the most important elements in your child’s life.

Comprehensive weight-loss programs for children are scarce. It is up to parents to begin their own intervention program. Making changes are not expensive and pay off big time.

“The family is the underutilized weapon in the fight against childhood obesity,” said Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children’s Hospital Boston.

Get Nutritional Advice

To change your family’s food habits, get good nutritional advice. The reason that this has become a learning process is because of all the misinformation put out for public consumption.

Children will tend to mimic what they see the adults around them do. This means to be a good role model includes what you stock your pantry with. The food industry is not as interested in your children’s health, as it is in successful ad campaigns. It is wise and prudent to seek the counsel of someone well versed in nutrition.

It is next to impossible for children to change eating habits if the rest of family is not changing their way of eating. When children eat better they have more energy for activities that are part of a healthy lifestyle.

A Child’s Health Begins with the Parent

That is why the L.E.A.N. Start Program is so effective. The parents go thought the learning process with the child, in an interactive and fun way.  This program was developed by one of the most highly respected pediatricians in America, Dr. William Sears.

Kathy Bee is a nutrition/lifestyle educator who is a certified coach for the L.E.A.N Start Program.

The L.E.A.N start program is essential to both yourself and your children. What has happened to our food supply is a crime against mankind. I really do not consider this an overstatement.

Guide

This is taken from the introduction to an Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan. By the way this is probably the best book on the topic of what to eat.

This is a quote from the introduction; “To guide us we had instead, Culture, which, at least when it comes to food, is really just a fancy word for your mother. What to eat, what order in which to eat it, with what and when and with whom have for the most part of human history been a set of questions long settled and passed down from parents to children with out a lot of controversy or fuss.”

“But over the last several decades, mom lost much of her authority over the dinner menu, ceding it to scientists and food marketers (often an unhealthy alliance of the two) and, to a lesser extent, to the government with its ever-shifting dietary guidelines, food-labeling rules, and perplexing pyramids.”

Personal

The problem is personal, not something in the third person. Another quote from Michael Pollan’s book sums up the changes and damage incurred by the American food supply.

“What is driving such relentless change in the American Diet? One force is a thirty-two-billion-dollar food-marketing machine that thrives on change for its own sake. Another is the constantly shifting ground of nutrition science that, depending on your point of view, is steadily advancing the frontiers of our knowledge about diet, and health or is just changing its mind a lot because it is a flawed science that knows much less than it cares to admit.”

This is personal to the public that switched to margarine from butter. Then learned  that saturated fat was harmful and switched to poor quality vegetable oils. From a diet of real food we are told that fortified junk food is just as good.

It is personal because our own healthcare is now in doctors hands. We have lost control of our health by listing to the marketplace. This becomes even more personal when it affects our children’s lives.

Unintentional

Our children are the unintentional victims of our lifestyle. A child’s health begins in utero and progresses to the habits that they acquire in childhood. This is the time parents have the most influence and can form the foundation for their child’s health.

L.E.A.N Start

Dr. William Sears a foremost authority on children’s health has founded a program that addresses the concerns of today’s parents. He knows “A Child’s Health Begins with the Parent.”   

This is a course for the parents that pay dividends to their children.

The Legacy of the 21^stcentury will not be only of biopharmaceuticals advances. They will not shape the future unless we want a world hell bend on a disease model that helps people cling to life.

Health and wellness companies of the future will fill the void left by healthcare. There are companies that are turning on light bulbs. Yes, literally and are re-engineering our healthcare system.

Science

The health and wellness companies of the future will boost our horse power, more power means more mileage. With the future rushing into the present at a pace never before experienced, we are at the mercy of events we are not prepared for.

There are innovative companies that use information and apply it to teach people successfully master their lives in these troubling times.

Better than our healthcare system they are able to get results. The first one we are going to feature is a weight management company.

Metabolic Balance

This company gets amazing results. They proceed using a thorough blood analysis, and the support of a certified consultant that takes the guessing out of weight management. Personalized weight management is one part weight control, and another part lifestyle management. This isn’t a “here we go again diet.” This is the answer to why you are overweight.

They create a lifestyle for you and stay fully vested in helping you achieve it. This is a sure fire way for everyone, and yet it is a sure fire way for only one individual at a time. This is unprecedented in the weight loss industry.

Validation

This company has taken off in Europe, and is now being introduced in America. The European countries know there is no substitute for real health. The line between health and food is not blurred in Europe. Where here in the United States it is not just blurred, but wiped out altogether.

Europe is seeing the future. They do not allow our re-engineered food to be sold in their country. They have been demonized for protecting their citizens. Why?  Big business profits come from stocking the shelves of supermarkets with hybrid foods.

The European Union has banned hormone-treated beef, and genetically modified foods. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) is an artificially inserted foreign ´gene´ that was developed in the laboratory and then injected into the DNA of a plant. The primary reason companies genetically engineer-plants is to make them tolerant to their brand of herbicide. These GM plants are designed to survive a deadly dose of pesticides. These crops have much higher residues of toxic herbicides. About 68% of GM crops are herbicide tolerant.

The Fake Slim

It seems that everyone thinks they are meant to be super thin, and can consume faux foods, pills, and in some cases abandon eating enough calories to subsist. Just like we are approaching being the fattest nation, we are also fantasizing about becoming the slimmest.

The trouble with that is we are stuck with a poor model of what healthy weight is, and how to archive it. Metabolic Balance is helping people who are stuck, and keep trying solutions that fail. It is a sane approach to both finding the power, and will to know what you need to succeed.

While it slims you down  it rebuilds your body by supplying the right nutrients. This way your body can find its optimal weight.

Perfect Clarity

Not only are the results perfectly clear, but so is the roadmap that is supplied. New Year means not just another resolution, but a new solution. What is needed is a transformation in lifestyle, not a short term weight lost. The thinking for the last few decades was that weight loss methods were not the great concern.

The lamest reasons were behind many of the weight loss efforts. The most used; fit into a wedding dress, look great at a high school reunion,  get ready for bikini season, and be able to wear the holiday party dress.

We have come a long way from that kind of thinking, however, the diet industry had just begun to leave the shadows of antiquated thinking.

Cracking the Code

Metabolic Balance takes you where you need to be. Finally a weight management company that does what it promises. Metabolic Balance is on track to become one of the leading health and wellness companies. That is because they know what’s right for you. They have cracked the code to what makes you function at your best. It is a science based company, which puts your health first.
