Cindy McAsey-Mom w/husband 2 kids and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I'm 90

I have found many won't make the change for their own health, but might if they knew the habits they have formed will have a huge impact on their future generations.

The health of today's children is in jeopardy. "In the last 10 years, diabetes in children has doubled; there's a growing obesity epidemic among children, and we're seeing heart disease start in children," says Joel Fuhrman, M.D., family physician in Flemington, N.J., and author "Eat for Health and "Disease-Proof Your Child."

The consequences are so dire, in fact, that health authorities are now predicting that this generation of children will be the first to have a shorter life span than their parents. So what habits are putting kids in jeopardy?

Fuhrman pulled together the 10 worst offenders but issues this warning: "Parents can't force children to do anything they aren't doing themselves, which is why parents also need to change their habits to become better role models."

1. Drinking soda
Soda is loaded with sugar (about 13 teaspoons per can) artificial sweeteners, caffeine and empty calories (about 150 in a regular soda). Plus, soda might displace healthy beverages like milk or water and cause tooth decay. Bottom line: Nix soda from your child's diet and replace it with water, milk and other healthy beverages.

2. Not exercising
Today's kids are leading inactive lifestyles, putting them at risk for cancer, diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Bottom line: Make physical activity as important for your kids as brushing their teeth. By instilling the exercise habit in them when they're young, they'll be more likely to stick with it as adults. Just remember that kids learn by example, so get active with them.

3. Eating processed and barbecued meats
Your kids might love baloney sandwiches and hamburgers, but processed and barbecued meats have been linked to cancer, especially colon cancer.
Bottom line: Steer your kids clear of this kind of meat, and instead, turn them on to more healthy, wholesome foods like fruits, veggies, beans, nuts and seeds.

4. Being overweight
While it might be vogue to be heavy -- roughly 16 percent of kids aged two to 19 are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- that extra weight could cause your child serious health problems, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Bottom line: Clean up your diet, and your family will follow. Likewise, become a regular exerciser, and encourage your children to get more active.

5. Not eating enough fruits and veggies
Fruits and veggies are loaded with disease-fighting nutrients, which is why kids who don't eat enough are at greater risk for developing cancer and other chronic health conditions.
Bottom line: Make fruits and veggies the mainstay of meals, and your kids will easily get the servings they need. Check MyPyramid.gov to view fruit and veggie requirements for kids or try AOL Health's handy Veggie and Fruit Tracker to calculate daily requirements.

6. Too many hours in front of the TV
Watching TV and playing video games are sedentary activities that encourage snacking and often replace physical activity. TV viewing also exposes your kids to risky behaviors like smoking and drinking, which could influence them.
Bottom line: Limit your kids' use of the TV and computer. Children under two years old should not watch TV, while kids over two should be limited to no more than two hours of media time a day, per the American Academy of Pediatrics.

7. Noshing sugary treats and foods
Your kids might go gaga over treats, but they're nutrient-poor, calorie-laden foods. Most are also made with refined grains, which have been linked to cancer. Plus, the more your kids eat these, the more they could begin craving them, which could eventually boost their weight.
Bottom line: Limit sugar in your children's diet as much as possible. Ban sugary cereals, cookies and candy from your pantry. Then become a savvy label reader, looking for hidden sugars in everything from granola bars toketchup and even pasta sauces. To satisfy a sweet tooth, serve fruit as a dessert or a snack.

8. Eating fast food
"Fast food is for parents who don't care about their kids," Fuhrman says. By buying them fast food, you're giving them the lowest quality food, which adds calories, fat and little nutrition to their diets. The end result? You could wind up with an overweight, unhealthy child. Plus, if they're eating fried foods or food cooked at high temperatures, they're noshing cancer-causing compounds.
Bottom line: Boycott all fast food.

9. Not getting enough vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to dozens of health conditions, including rickets, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Sunshine is the best source of vitamin D, but most kids don't spend enough hours outside to get all they need. Plus, if you live in a northern climate, getting enough vitamin D in the winter can be impossible.
Bottom line: Make sure your child is getting 400 IU of vitamin D daily through a multivitamin and/or vitamin D supplement.

10. Filling up on food made with white flour
White flour has zero nutritional value, which is why Fuhrman believes it should be banned from foods. "White flour's been linked to obesity and cancer-causing cell development," he says.
Bottom line: Don't buy food made with white flour. Instead, choose 100 percent whole-grain products.

One of my New Years Resolutions is to do anything and everything I can to educate these "already highly educated but not in healthy nutrition" demographinc of people. With the support of organizations such as www.healthychild.org and over a million dollars in "extra" cash incentives to educate provided by Secret Barefoot Company the timing is right.

To a Healthy and Prosperious 2009,

Anti-Aging Tonic Testimonials....

For the last 6 months I have been suffering from chronic severe pain in my left foot which has been diagnosed as a plantar fasiculitis. This is an inflammation of a ligament which runs from the heel towards the large toe. The pain has been so intense that for the last 3 months I have been using a cane to walk. I had to buy new shoes and to put my foot in a cast every night while sleeping. I can't take anti-inflammatory's or pain meds so I just had to suffer.

After the reading the information about anti-aging tonic, I ordered some and began taking one teaspoon a day last Monday.

I couldn't believe it but last Wednesday (after 2 days!), I put down my cane as I could now walk without severe pain. By Friday I had very little pain and today I have NO pain. Just one week and I am pain free. Unbelievable! For any skeptics out there, all I can say is it worked for me and if you have chronic pain you should try this.
Rick Navarro, Ph.D.

Please share this with others who may be struggling with autoimmune diseases, especially Sarcoidosis, an auto immune disease that, in my case, caused long bone (not joint) pain and most troubling, breathing difficulties. The disease caused calcium deposits called granulomas to stiffen my lungs, so constricted airways was not the trouble, it was inflamed lung tissue that did not want to expand as it should resulting in shortness of breath as well as coughing. This affected everything in my life. I was unable to even go for walks without being out of breath.

The drug of choice used to treat Sarcoidosis is Prednisone. For anyone not familiar with the drug, it reduces inflammation but along with that it has some terrible and serious side effects such as bone pain, fluid retention, insomnia, and weight gain, to name a few. I began taking a variety of Barefoot Secret supplements and the support the supplements offered soon enabled me to reduce my Prednisone dosage to 20 mg per day from 40 mg. I took no other pain relievers except for the Barefoot Secret Pain Relief.

I was introduced to Anti-Aging Tonic and explained with great excitement that you found an article that resveratrol had been found to help those with COPD. NO JOKING HERE...within about one week my lungs started to feel better. I experimented by taking the Asmanex only in the morning, I cut out the PM dose (I had done this before, but immediately had to go back on the evening dose due to breathing difficulties). After four days without my PM dose. I had a follow up appointment with my pulmonologist on Sept 16th.

He said that based on the NORMAL levels of inflammation in my blood work and the IMPROVED FUNCTIONING of my lungs, that the Sarcoidosis was in remission. I was so elated and thankful! I no longer take any steroid medication. yeah!!!

With the important component of supporting my immune system with the Barefoot Secret supplements and the amazing Anti-Aging Tonic, I am able to win my battle against Sarcoidosis. Thank you for making an amazing and healthy difference in my life.
God Bless, Jeannie

First it was 911 then 611 Now 8/8/08

On 611 a devastating tornado hit our small rural Kansas community that impacted the lives of many of my friends and family.

So... you might be thinking.. what happened on 8/8/08?

First you must know the story that leads up to this day. Watch and discover “incredible” research on aging and how you can impact the Immune system, Joints, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Energy, Cardio, LDL Cholesterol and MORE...

Dr. Sinclair, foremost authority on AGING, was interviewed and appeared on the Barbara Walter’s Anti-Aging Special. The exciting part is that Dr. Sinclair called our company to be a part of the research and work on developing our BREAK THROUGH “anti-aging” product. Imagine having someone like Dr. Sinclair as a mentor in this process.

Watch this short anti-aging clip from ABC:

The result was a REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCT that is available TODAY and not in 5 years as the clip references!

Keep in mind our anti aging tonic contains the much talked about Resveratrol … each serving…just one teaspoon… is equal to the resveratrol in 100 glasses of wine…. HOWEVER, due to the addition of the plant polyphenols from the “super grape”, our anti aging tonic becomes 10 times more powerful than resveratrol by itself!

“EXTEND YOUR EXPIRATION DATE by 25 years”!

I've had a tag line in my header of product emails that say: "Mom, with husband, family and a farm full of animals chasing them I'm 90. I've got to be honest I didn't know how I was going chase til I'm 90 ... Just that I was. I guess my secret intentions are working because look what our company delivered on 8/8/08! Watch this short 2 minute clip:

I don't know about you but I'll be sipping "Super Grape" tonic daily...
