Immune System

6. • Poor eating habits start early—25% of infants and
toddlers ages 9 to 24 months do not eat any fruit or
vegetables!
• Most vitamins and minerals are not stored in the
body so they need to be supplied daily; without a steady
supply, infants and toddlers cannot achieve optimal
growth and development
• Public health experts are concerned about adequate
vitamin D intake, and the American Academy of
Pediatrics recently doubled its recommended daily intake
for infants
• New research connects prebiotics with
improved immune function in infants
and toddlers*

8. Kids Need INCREDIVITES™
• Studies show that kids with inadequate
nutrient intake perform poorly in
school
• Poor nutrition negatively impacts a
child’s immune system, bone growth,
and overall physical development
• In a recent study, 55% of children
tested had low levels of vitamin D,
which is critical for bone building
• The immune system has been shown
to be activated by lactoferrin, a milk
protein also found in breast milk.

of this important nutrient

organ meats such as liver—are not kids’
favorites
• Eating large amounts of fish can lead to
unhealthy exposure to mercury and other
environmental toxins, which can be especially
harmful to children

23. Factors that Damage the Brain
Ultra Mind Solution Mark Hyman, M.D.
• Toxins (cleaning products, air pollution, food additives)
80,000 chemicals introduced since 1900
550 have been tested for safety
• Lack of nutrients ( esp. B vitamins, Omegas )
• Lack of sleep (when the brain repairs and heals)
• Stress (cortisol injures hippocampus, damages brain cells
and leads to memory loss and dementia)

24. More Damaging Items
• Sugar !! ( insulin )
( Alzheimers now called Type 3 Diabetes )
• Poor digestion
– More than 95% of autistic kids have
gastrointestinal dysfunction (Dr Martha Herbert, Harvard)
-- Caused by Pro-Inflammatory Diet (too high in Omega 6 ,
too low in Omega 3 fatty acids, too high in sugar and refined
carbs, too low in vegetables )

25. More Insults to the Brain
Drugs/Medications
Acetaminophen ( Tylenol )
 Quickly depletes glutathione
( body’s last stand against toxins, inflammation and free radicals… n-
acetylcysteine )
 One of the single most important chemicals in your body
and a deficiency can cause severe mental and physical
issues.
“Acetaminophen is more toxic than most
prescription drugs”
• Dr Oz - #1 cause of liver failure

26. Dangers of Drugs/Medications
• Allergy drugs
• Acetaminaphen
• Aspirin
• ADD meds
• Asthma meds
• Steroids

27. There is Good News
The brain can:
heal, renew, repair and regenerate itself.
• Make new brain cells (neurogenesis)
• Wake up and activate damaged brain cells
• Improve connections between brain cells ( neuroplasticity)
All this can improve cognitive function and lead to
remarkable recoveries

28. Factors that Benefit the Brain
• Sleep
• Nutrient Rich Diet
• Oxygen ( deep breathing)
• Water
• Exercise
• Relaxation
• Community
• Connection
• Love
• Meaning and purpose
• B vitamins
• Omega 3 fatty acids
• Vivix (repairs cellular damage..
regenerates mitochondria)
• New learning

29. AND BE HAPPY…
