Supplements

Between school, sports, field trips, and sleepovers, our kids are exposed to health risks every day. Inevitably, they will bring it all back home. To be at their best, they need to stay well. But how can we keep their immune systems running strong, to fight off all those nasty bugs?

Good nutrition is a start!


How to keep our immune systems at their best....Phytonutrients. What are phytonutrients? Phytonutrients can be defined as nutrients that have been scientifically proven to provide health benefits. "Phyto" in Greek means plant, and phytonutrients fall into their own category because they are not related to fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. These nutrients allow for optimal cellular function and communication. When our cells are communicating effectively, the proper sequence of enzymatic reactions take place. this all leads to biochemical reactions creating healthier tissues and organ systems, detoxification of foreign substances, and strong immune system, and the muscles that will perform when called upon. Therefore, phytonutrients in plant-based foods help support strong immune systems to keep our growing bodies healthier.

Daily supplements can help to keep our bodies running like a well oiled machine. When we get enough vitamins and minerals from our daily meals, nutritional supplements can help them get everything we need. Whatever our age and activity, we can find an easy-to-take supplement that will address our biggest nutritional gaps.

One brand that I have gone to for over 15 years is Nutrilite. To learn more about Nutrilite, go to http://www.amway.com/JoAnnMRomeo/nutrition/nutrilite.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
