CALLING ALL PARENTS!

The health of our children is heading in a dangerous direction!

We have elementary school children who have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle are causing it and parents are the only ones who can stop it. Junk food, candy, sodas, remote controls, and computer games might put a smile on their face for now….. but what about tomorrow? A lifetime of obesity and chronic disease is not something that your children will thank you for.


When they’re 40 years old, obese, and stricken with diabetes, they’ll be thinking about you every time the insulin needle pierces their skin. They’ll be asking, “Why did they buy all of that junk for me to eat?” They’ll ask “Why did they let me sit on the couch watching TV and playing computer games for 6 hours a day?” The vast majority of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are not passed from parent to child by bad genes. They are passed from parent to child through ignorance, lack of self control and bad habits.

Are you a victim of the bad habits that were passed onto you? If so, then you can be the one to rise up and break the perpetual chain of disease in your family. You do not have to pass it on to your children. You may have been defeated in the past, but today is a new day! Your child’s diet is YOUR choice. You CAN set a good example and you CAN teach them healthy habits.

There’s a new television show that we are highly recommending to all parents. It’s on The Learning Channel (TLC) and it’s called “Honey, we’re killing the kids”. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the first 5 minutes of this show are worth a thousand books.

Watching this show can help you save your children from a life of obesity, disease and suffering – it could even help you add 10 years to your child’s life. Will you watch it? Will you give one hour of your time for your kid’s sake? This is one of the best television shows regarding children’s health that has ever been produced and watching only one episode can literally be a life changing event.

Consult your local TV listings for more information.
