Can A Person Sue His Parents For What Was Fed Him As A Child?

Imagine twenty to thirty years down the road when the millions of children today with bad diet and lifestyle habits will have grown into adults that suffer from obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. They’ll be swimming in medical bills and this will be caused by the establishment of poor eating habits and lack of exercise when they were young.

These obese adults burdened by mountains of bills and feeling ostracized by their healthy peers will then band into support groups and in their frustration look for someone to point an accusing finger at- their parents. Looking for a way to lighten the medical expenses, they then press lawsuits against the ones responsible for the bad diet and lifestyle habits they formed in their youth- their parents. You know what? They might even win because given the number of junk food-eating kids these days, the judge will most likely be obese and sickly too.

Such a story may be funny, but believe it or not, it might really happen. Young adults these days have been blaming Mom and Dad for their current problems and health and dietary issues might easily include this. One thing’s for sure, the US government or the American fast food industry won’t be taking the blame for it.

Believe it or not, the diet of a lot of babies and toddlers these days are as actually as bad as those of their chip n dip munching teenage counterparts who dine mainly on fast-food. The American Dietetic Association published a recent study proving this in one of the journals.

It’s sad, but most of the respondents that did report having a vegetable as part of their diet thought French fries qualified as one. A third of the children surveyed by researchers from the Tufts University School of Medicine did not even have fruit and vegetables in their daily.

Quite shocking that in the survey, carbonated beverages, found to be the main cause of obesity along with the health complications it brings, were even given to infants poured in baby bottles. Since most of these soda-suckling kids spend most of their time being couch potatoes, all that sugar obviously doesn’t get burned-off.

Not surprising then that a fourth of preschool children suffer from obesity and the numbers are increasing rapidly. Furthermore, preferences in children’s diet are established during 2nd and 3rd years of their lives, so the statistics are certain to get worse. Most cases of heart disease and diabetes are linked of course, to bad diet and unhealthy lifestyles, so children these days or on the road to bad health.

Can anything be done to curb this deadly trend? Things may look bleak but as parents, we ultimately have the power to affect the way our children eat and run their future lives by setting-up proper guidelines. Becoming fit, health-conscious role models ourselves can have dramatic effects on how they eat and go about their daily activities as they grow up.

You wouldn’t know it, but maybe a couple of decades down the road maybe babies of today will grow up as smart and healthy adults and give credit to and appreciation for their parents who′ve set-up proper guidelines and helped them form healthy habits during their early years. Wouldn’t this be far more desirable than a lawsuit?

Want to Have a Better Brain?

Are you satisfied with the way your brain works? Or do you want to make wiser decisions, think better or remember more (”I can′t seem to find my reading glasses.”)?

Oh how we dread the day when we cannot think well, make wiser decisions, or always forget things. We always want our brain to be smarter and better.

If that is the case then you should start eating more fish and take Omega 3 supplements. The right kind of fish and Omega 3 supplements can give you a smarter and better brain.

From the moment we are conceived we already need Omega 3 fish oil with EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA are the major components of the new baby’s nervous system and 70% of a newborn’s brain is made up of this stuff. This means that Omega 3 fish oil is a vital food for a healthy brain for all of us.

Scientific research has proven that high quality fish oil can positively affect the various areas of your emotional, mental, and physical health. This is quite important since it affects your relationships with other people, your financial future, the way that you feel and your health, too.

Studies confirm that omega 3 fish oil helps prevent stress related diseases especially for people who are undergoing psychological pressure. It was also found through Japanese research that students taking high quality fish oil supplements got better grades, were less irritable and less defensive.

Further studies show that cases of depression dropped in countries with high omega 3 fish consumptions. Consequently, low levels of DHA lead to high incidence of depression, violence and suicide.

Still, age-related memory loss and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease are significantly lowered by high intake of fish oil. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease improved their quality of life when they started taking omega 3 fish oil supplements.

The benefits of using fish oil supplements have developed over the years. Research at Harvard Medical School has successfully treated bipolar disorder and manic depression by using fish oil supplements. In Britain, scientific analysis showed positive effects in treating schinzophrenia.

So, if you really want a better brain then the smartest thing for you to do is to start taking a high quality Omega 3 fish oil supplement with EPA and DHA and start eating more fish.

Are You Overweight

Last night I was having a few laughs with my business partners about the current political flopfest. We were making plenty of jabs at the so-called “stimulus” bill. I can′t print here what they said as I’m trying to keep this at least PG rated. Maybe some other time.

So the question I have for you is: Are you over weight? Or as Artie Lange would ask, “Too Fat To Fish?”

This is just common sense so I’m not going to spend time on medical specifics. We all know when we’re dragging around too much ballast. I do and from talking with my friends, they seem to know too.

The signs are always there.

Taking more than 5 seconds to button up pants.

Your collars getting tight.

Golf swing needing adjustment.

You start going back to the buffet a third time.

Three flights of stairs leave you winded.

It adds up. And I could go on from here. Like when you stop suddenly, your arms keep jiggling.

We all know, and we all need to start getting leaner. The way to get there is by doing a little planning.

The plan starts with getting on pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and staying on it. That’s easy, a couple of swallows a couple of times a day.

You’ll see the results in 60 days, but the internal benefits start immediately - as should YOU.

Then you need to start altering the way you eat, a little bit at a time. For instance, if you consume soda, or diet soda, on a daily basis, start cutting back and switching to water. One friend of mine was a Coca Cola addict, drinking up to six bottles or cans a day. When he made this simple change, switching from cola to water, he lost 14 pounds in eight weeks. He took my pharmaceutical grade fish oil, subbed water for cola, and 14 pounds disappeared.

Six more pounds came off when he replaced his lunch burgers with salads twice a week.

Then he took his ice cream servings down to just 4 ounces per day, and even more weight flew off.

For exercise, he walked up some hills. Then when he got used to that, he started jogging up them. His workouts didn′t last much longer than 15 minutes.

He’s 35 pounds lighter today and looks a decade younger.

He didn′t make any radical changes, or totally eliminate anything from his diet, other than soda. And he doesn′t miss it.

But he can tell you this. He took a business trip and forgot to pack his Dr. Bill’s Powerhouse Omega Formula, and he could feel that. He missed his dose for four days, and says if it ever happened again, he would have it Fedexed to him, immediately.

I’ve heard that same story over and over. Once you get your health levels up, you’ll become much more sensitive to a detour. And that’s a good thing.

The Secret Behind Skin Moisturizer Supplements

Revelations in skin moisturizer supplements will somehow amaze people.

Aging skin starting on the outside is a common fallacy in people’s minds.

Having the right skin moisturizer supplements could give you the needed protection against harmful elements to your outdoor skin, even though it’s working from the inside. You’ll never have to rely on outer moisturizers again.

Indispensable fatty acids like omega 3 supplements are the solution to parched, itchy or prematurely-aging skin.

Having wholesome and healthy oils in your meals helps build a shielding defense against the harmful elements. It’s like being wrapped with a defensive outer skin that has the power to restore back lost skin rudiments daily.

The skin is an essential organ in our body thus needing ample sustenance. Aside from having enough water intakes, important supplements are needed to maintain that well moisturized skin and youthful look.

A common mistake among people today is that we lack the needed amount of healthy fats or oil intake since most of the oils that we consume are bad. Most of which are harmful to our skin.

Moreover, they tend to cover their bodies with lotions and other forms of moisturizers which are surely worsening the problem.

You’d probably ask, “Really? Destroying my skin by putting on lotion?”

Indeed. All lotions and other products used for the skin contain mineral oil. This substance eats up essential nutrients in your body like vitamins A, D and E which are important for the development of your skin.

Eating foods rich with the lost vitamins A, D and E still would not replace enough vitamins lost from your body.

Take a case in point, 124 pieces of whole wheat bread a day would probably reach the daily allowance of vitamin E. But, would you be able to do that? That’s almost 7,000 calories. And we’re just talking about Vitamin E, what about the other vitamins?

Functioning at a cellular level, essential oils like omega 3 fatty acids help enhance your body. These important oils need to be filled up again every day.

Nutritious oils in our body would help make certain significant improvements in your skin. Moisturized, healthy, smooth and wrinkle free skin are just some of the positive effects.

As a replacement for harmful lotions, why not use skin moisturizer supplements daily. You’d be off with healthy skin and results in almost in an instant.

Nevertheless, be conscious and stay away from sham supplements like flaxseed, borage and primrose oils. Such oils are inappropriate for such use.

It is established that certain essential oils from whole grains and the omega 3 fatty acids from oily fish are indeed important to the body.

Stay away from mineral oil moisturizers. Use only healthy skin moisturizer supplements and enjoy the health benefits of looking great and young.

Nevertheless, a smile and a healthy skin attract a person most.

A Shipload Of Peruvian Fishtales

While going cross-country I made a stop in South Carolina at a great southern breakfast joint - just for the biscuits. As I waited for my food, I decided to get on the internet for a bit and what do you know…I saw an ad for fish oil, but not mine.

This one was from a supplement guru who happens to be a doctor too. Funny thing, I know a thing or two about this business, and I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck (I just learned that phrase), so the advertisement just made me laugh.

Now I’ll be the first to tell you I don’t mind a little bragging if the facts are true, but this letter was bragging with no facts to speak of, or as they say in the law, “We’re in a highly questionable area here.”

So the good doctor says he sources the fish oil in southern Peru and Chile - because of the “non-industrial waters”. Uh huh. Last time I checked ocean water is ocean water.

He makes the claim that fish sourced in European waters contains 8 times more dioxins than fish sourced off Peru and Chile. The information comes from something called the Scientific Committee on Food. I tried looking up this committee, but couldn’t find it.

He claims his Peruvian fish oil is high quality - but I don’t think you can get high quality from where you can’t even get clean water. Maybe that’s a little too much common sense for him.

There are a lot of comparisons made in the letter that appear to be scientific, but they’re not. There’s even a classic straw man chart, where Peruvian fish oil is compared to other oils in the market, and “Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!” just like Gomer Pyle used to say, Peruvian Fish Oil wins all the categories.

But nowhere does it say that the fish oil is pharmaceutical grade. He is comparing his commercial grade fish oil to other commercial grade fish oils. He isn’t comparing it to any pharmaceutical grade formula, which has worldwide standards.

Bottom line: Stick with pharmaceutical grade fish oil. You won’t get it from Chile.
