Cells and Ageing

Interesting excerpt from 'The Keys to Extraordinary Longevity' by Dr. J P Willem
'Aging may seem illusory given that according to the Chinese tradition, every seven years our cells are totally renewed. But the new cells receive information from those they replace. Although the cell is new, the information is retained and so our life does not start again from the beginning.
In addition, each day brings more erosion and we are like a cliff being worn away by the waves of the sea. Thus we can preserve our equilibrium, provided we do not suffer any serious attack, by declining imperceptibly yet with increased disorganisation.
The human body is considered as an automaton, living in a world that is sub-lit but receiving information from a world where there is true light, that is beyond the photon wall (speed of light 300,000 km/s). This information is received at the cerebral cortex, which translates it. If the cells are properly connected to the super-luminous world, the information is transmitted correctly, otherwise, errors occur. In fact, the healthy cells are mixed with the diseased ones, resulting in a general weakening, which is the sole means of creating a new equilibrium, vital but less healthy than before. .... '
Children of today have a greater chance now that Mannatech Inc. founder Sam Caster, have produced GlycoBears and ManaBears especially for children giving them the necessary cell renewal of good cells. Glyconutrients help the body to repair itself giving optimal health and wellness. Glyconutrients help the cells make healthy tissues to make healthy systems and bodies.

A Good Snacking Time

All children like snacking!
Snacking throughout the day assists in maintaining steady blood glucose levels between meals, which helps fight fatigue and improves concentration. Snack foods can provide up to one third of your daily kilojoule intake. So while the occasional indulgence is fine, aim to choose nutritious snacks most of the time for your children.
Variety is the Key to Acceptance - Look for snacks that provide carbohydrates for energy, such as bread, rolls, fruit buns, fresh fruit, low-fat yoghurt and wholegrain crackers. Foods high in fibre, low in saturated fat and salt, are good for digestion and heart health.
Diabetes is becoming a huge problem even with children and research shows low GI foods can have benefits for health in a number of ways:
- feel fuller for longer- As low GI foods help maintain steady blood glucose levels and help you feel more satisfied for longer after eating.
- maintain concentration levels - glucose is the only fuel used by the brain to carry out its daily functions. By keeping blood glucose levels steady, low GI foods provide a constant supply of energy to the brain, therefore helping maintain concentration levels throughout the day.
- low GI foods have been shown to help manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels, so they can be good for heart health even in children.
Mannatech Inc with Sam Caster, acknowledge the benefits of the Glycemic Index and advocate it along with their GlycoLean weight loss program. GlycoBears are the glyconutient product for children giving them a fantastic start to life. Glyconutrients are necessary for optimal health and wellness but are mostly missing from our diet.

Influence Your Child With Praise

An excerpt from "The Positive Power of Praising People" by Jerry D. Twentier.
'While each of us requires praise, children need it most. A two- or three-week-old infant will focus on her mother's face for that approving,k glowing expression. "A positive, smiling acceptance, the look that says 'I am lucky to have you' mirrors an infant's sense of self," states Dr. Bernice Berk, a New York psychologist, (Redbook, June 1984).
From birth to six years comprises the fastest term of growth in human development. At no other time will you exert greater influence on your child. Almost all of her later experiences will hinge on what happens now.
"Hey, watch me, Mummy! Daddy! Look at me!"
Manny times a day, busy parents hear this cry and stop to notice: "Aren't you a good soldier! ...a good baker! ... a good builder!"
The "watch me's" escalate as the child discovers new challenges, activities, and abilities.
The excited child with his "look-at-me" request conveys what each of us expresses - only he's too innocent to mask it! He openly asks someone to share the joy of his accomplishment!........ We can give our children too much of everything, except ourselves. .... For gifting him with the best quality advantage, there's no present like your time!'

Glyconutrients by Mannatech Inc. and Sam Caster, are also a wonderful gift for children. Mannatech has produced Glyco-Bears, glyconutrients for children giving them optimal health and well being.

Reading For Enjoyment

Most young children like to play with books - especially the ones where there are buttons to push and different noises are emitted. If you help them to realise early on that reading is an enjoyable thing to do, you can inspire a love of reading that will last a lifetime. As they get older some children are not so good at sitting down quietly looking at books. Here are some guides to helping through this stage:
1. Put special touchy-feely books in the cot to familiarise your baby with books. The colourful pictures will stimulate them.
2. Read to preschoolers regularly and they'll associate reading with pleasure - A special time each day.
3. Choose three books a day to keep preschooler interest high: a favourite book, a familiar book and one that's new.
4. Older children will sometimes want to read to you or tell the story - let them do that.
5. Don't nag them about reading.
6. Let children read what they like at home. Even if this means comic books, at least they're reading.
7. Read the books your children are studying for their schoolwork so you can discuss them together.
Glyconutrients can give superior health benefits for children having produced by Sam Caster and Mannatech Inc. Researchers have found children with attention difficulties have improved. Glyconutrients are necessary in every cell in your body producing optimal health and wellness.
