Clean up your family’s nutritional act!

Childhood obesity has nearly tripled since the 1970s. Reverse this trend by helping children develop healthy attitudes about their weight, eating and fitness level. Obesity has become the number-one health concern in the U.S., with childhood obesity being one of the foremost problems. The number of obese children in the nation has tripled since the 1970s, leading the former U.S. Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics to focus their efforts on this growing epidemic.

Health traps your children face daily
How can we help prevent any worsening of these statistics? It starts every day when we fix our children’s breakfast, and continues when we send them off to school with money for school lunches.

Herbalife Solutions for Children
Herbalife offers a wide range of products that can help improve the health of children. DinoShake® is formulated as a healthy snack with vitamins and nutrients, and Dinomins offers young children, ages two to eight, an appropriate vitamin supplement.

Upgrade your child’s packed lunch
Focus on sandwiches made with healthy choices such as turkey breast, low-fat cheese or tuna salad made with more mustard and less mayonnaise. Always use whole-grain breads. Pack veggie sticks (carrots, celery, jicama) along with a reduced-fat ranch-type dressing. And remember to offer them healthy snacks after school.

Healthy eating for the future
What our children eat can determine whether they’re healthy adults. Set the example by committing to nutritional foods that can help you and your children have the healthiest lives possible!
