The generation born today will be the first generation that will not outlive their parents. 23% of 2 to 5 year olds are overweight or obese. Hypertension appears from the age of five and we see one in three children are overweight. One in five teens have high cholesterol. By ages 17 to 21, Pisa is the second leading source of calories in teenager diets. The cheese alone in PISA causes untold problems throughout the whole body. Delicious, yes, but that is by design in order to keep you going Back for more hi, I'm Peter Smanjak. I'm a parent of two grown daughters. Like you, I'm concerned about the health and well being of my family. My background is in fitness, risk management and holistic health. I've used my passion in those fields to fuel the research I've done now for several years spending thousands of hours pouring through studies, scientific papers and articles to discover how to live a full life, healthy life. And I've made some amazing discoveries. As parents we are busy with full lives and don't have the time to spend and years and hours to spend finding this information about health and nutrition. It's too overwhelming confusing. Often reports are conflicting in their council. So with limited time this topic gets put on the shelf as we all on the run from the work that we do. The kids activities, sports, school, family outings and other appointments like the dentist and more take precedence. Meanwhile, the food giants are employing the highest qualified genius scientists to formulate foodstuffs that is not real food. It manipulates your children's taste sensation in such a way to keep your children and you going back for more. Food giants have spent millions in determining the best formulations to make you and your children unaware addicts. When I began to realize the plot taking place to sabotage our health, I was even more determined to discover what I could do for my own health and that of my family. Now I'm on a mission to share what I've learned so that you and your family can live healthy and have an energy filled life. The diseases that manifest in adults are now manifesting in children. Children and the youth of today have access to a wide variety of food and other substances that are full of chemical cocktails with very little or no nutritional value. The term used when describing this food is junk. It is non natural food. The dark side of junk food is not an unknown story. Research studies have shown that fast foods and processed foods increase childhood obesity from the age of 4. Increased heart disease and diabetes is showing up more and more along with a number of other non communicable chronic diseases never seen in children before. Moms and dads think they are spoiling in the good sense their children when they buy these foods when in actual fact it's causing more damage than ever. Please realize this. Don't feel bad though. I was in the same boat for many years. The good news is that we can change to be a healthier way of living starting right away. Realizing these things, I was led down this path where I built risk models relating to foods and many other health aspects. What can we do as parents to safeguard our children so that they can live long healthy lives? What about ourselves? We want to enjoy our grandchildren and even our great grandchildren and there is no greater joy than that. Ask any grandparent. I've discovered that the core of our health related issues happens and is influenced in one of the most important organs we have. That is the gut. And that's where we should start. I want to invite you to join us on our journey to reach 144,000 people every year to improve their well being and to give moms and dads the information they need for raising healthy children. Armed with the right information and understanding, your children will be able to make the right decisions and they'll thank you one day when they're older for investing in their lives and future by showing them how to preserve their health so that they can enjoy a full life. Let's get started at the core of overall well being. It begins with a gut. Let me save you thousands of hours of research and frustration with all the mixed messages in health and wellness industry. Let's learn how to help our families thrive. Would you take a minute of your time and share your struggle with gut health and your concerns regarding your children's health? As a thank you, there will be a free gift sharing my top three and worst foods so you can get started immediately improving the health of you and your family.
