Disease-Proof Your Child Feeding Kids Right
The most important book about your child's health that you will ever read!

Consultant)
In the past 5 years as a health consultant, the really alarming development that I have witnessed, is the statistical increase in health problems in children. Not only in the USA but also in Europe, we see our teenagers overweight, our young ladies developing womanly figures at an earlier age, an epidemic of skin problems and allergies, just to mention a few.
Data collected over the last years is clearly pointing to nutritional deficiencies and toxic environments as the probable cause. These symptoms are a warning signal that must be heeded. What we feed or don’t feed our children as they grow from birth to early adulthood has a profound effect on their later health.
Luckily I have had the opportunity to work together with a few good medical doctors in the States who are dedicating their lives to reversing diseases that develop over time due to poor eating habits, overweight, and stress. One of these doctors, Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D. has written an outstanding book on the timely subject of disease prevention in childhood: Disease-Proof Your Child, Feeding Kids Right, for Today , For the Future.

There
is an issue of vital importance that most well-meaning parents are not aware
of: the modern diet that most
children are eating today creates a fertile cellular environment for cancer to
emerge at a later age.
To
have a major impact on cancer prevention, we must intervene at an early age --
as early as the first ten years of life.
In other words, childhood diets can create or prevent adult
cancers. When children eat junk food instead of
fruits and vegetables, the groundwork is being laid for cancer and other
diseases to occur down the road.
Additionally, many children today are recurrently
sick with ear infections, allergies, and asthma. Kids become ill, not because they just naturally pass around
germs or have bad genes, but because
their diets are inadequate. Medications cannot prevent these
problems—only a diet of nutritional excellence can.
Over
80 percent of Americans die from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer;
diseases of nutritional inadequacy.
The
most recent scientific evidence is both overwhelming and shocking—what we feed
(or don’t feed) our children as they grow from birth to early adulthood has a
greater contributory effect on the dietary contribution to cancers than one’s
dietary intake over the next fifty years. American children eat less than
two percent of their diet from natural plant foods such as fruits and
vegetables. American children move
into adulthood eating ninety percent
of their caloric intake from dairy
products, white flour, sugar and oil.
Amazingly, about twenty-five percent of toddlers between ages one and two
eat no fruits and no vegetables at all.
By fifteen months, french fries are the most common vegetable consumed in
America!
Childhood diets are unhealthy, but the issue
goes beyond simple nutrition.
Recent scientific evidence over the past two decades has shown links with
precise dietary factors and autoimmune illnesses, such as Crohn’s Disease and
lupus, as well as later-life cancers.
This means that we now know how to create a bodily environment favorable
for cancers to emerge later in life and we understand what foods children could
eat to prevent cancer in their future.
Disease-Proof
Your Child
reviews the scientific evidence and explains that the vast majority of adult
cancers are avoidable if an excellent diet starts and is maintained from early
childhood. Parents are also
uninformed that following an anti-cancer diet can free their children from
repeated trips to the doctor, endless courses of antibiotics, and the curtailed
living that comes from being frequently sick.
Dr.
Fuhrman has reviewed thousands of recent scientific studies that all point to
this inescapable conclusion. While the message may be alarming, the solutions
are simple. Eating to prevent
common illnesses, as well as to prevent life-threatening illnesses of the
future, can be easy and taste good.
You’ll discover that the right foods can protect against obesity,
autoimmune disease, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. This book will show the
science and the solution—and you won’t believe how easy, tasty and fun Feeding Kids Right can be.
Dr.
Fuhrman presents the research and lays the foundation for a logical, scientific
connection supporting what our mothers and grandmothers have always said – You
Are What You Eat. The book starts out providing nutritional information and explaining
the problems and pit falls with common dietary practices and the key factors
necessary to make children disease resistant.
Chapter
two shows parents which foods to feed
their children, focusing on foods with superior nutrition – unprocessed
foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and nuts, and limiting intake of
saturated fats and sodium. Dr.
Fuhrman encourages a diet that reduces protein and fat from animal sources and
increases protein and fat from plant source foods, because of their high level
of micronutrients.
You
will learn guidelines to follow when children are ill or
dealing with health challenges, as well as information on the misuse and overuse
of prescription drugs that often harm our children.
Chapter
three explains the causes of cancer and
autoimmune illness with the supporting scientific evidence to show that most
adult afflictions are caused primarily by what we eat in our childhood –
especially the first ten years of life.
Parents
will be thrilled by Dr. Fuhrman’s advice and solutions for the common problems parents have feeding
children, such as what do with picky eaters, and how to make the transition
to optimal nutrition He
stresses a few simple techniques that make meal time a pleasant experience. He teaches us that we never need to
coerce our children to eat and that it is completely natural for our children to
eat the right foods and right amount of calories if we create a favorable home
environment for this to occur.
The
new family cookbook in
Chapter Five offers healthy meal plans and easy to make “kid tested and
approved” recipes. Dr. Fuhrman
shares family favorites and creative ideas for packing school lunches.
