One of the BIGGEST Back to School Health Tips

We've talked a lot about food choices so far. If you could "master" that, you'd be leaps and bounds ahead of the game!

In fact, if you could teach your kids to make great, nutritious food choices (and to eat to live vs. live to eat!), you really wouldn't need to be too concerned about 98% of the nutritional supplements on the market today. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, healthy fats, etc. is all supposed to come from our food... not a bottle!

BUT, even if you and your family eat a near-perfect diet, we've come to a point in time where it's next to impossible to maintain our healthy balance of long-chain Omega 3 essential fatty acids. It's a combination of:
- our natural sources, deep cold water fish, now being toxic, tainted and not containing as much omega 3 as they once did... you'd have to eat more wild Alaskan salmon than you could ever stomach, or afford!
- the current North American diet dumps excessive omega 6 into us... throwing the delicate balance of omega 3, 6 and 9 completely out of whack!

That's why our top recommendation for supplementation is pure, non-toxic fish oil. It's a MUST for everyone, but particularly growing brains.

These long chain omega 3's (vs. short chain, like flax oil) are responsible for a healthy brain, nervous system and immune system. When we have ample supplies of this critical supplement, we can think clearly, we have a sense of well being (anti-depressants try to mimic the natural effects of omega 3's), we can more effectively learn new information & recall old information, we're less agitated and anxious and we're able to focus better.

Hey, doesn't that sound like something you'd want for your kids this coming school year???

BEWARE:
You get what you pay for when it comes to nutritional supplements... especially fish oil! Seek out pure, ultra-refined, non-toxic sources. Otherwise, you'll just be dumping in concentrated toxins. If you'd like my/our personal recommendation for what we consider the highest quality product on the market, just ask!

Start building your child's supplies of omega 3 fatty acids NOW and you'll notice a remarkable difference by the time school rolls around!
