Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity Management



Dear John,

"I've been hearing a lot about childhood obesity. I know that more exercise for my children is part of the answer, but is there anything else I can do?"
 - Julie B.

Dear Julie,

    According to the American Heart Association, about one in eight school children have three or more risk factors of metabolic syndrome, such as abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, and/or dyslipidemia.The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the United States can be largely explained by the growing obesity epidemic, which has more than tripled among kids in the last three decades. On the whole, kids are spending more time in front of televisions and computers and less time participating in exercise activities. And parents have less time to prepare home-cooked, healthy meals for their kids as they try to manage their busy schedules.

    Fortunately, there are some great supplements designed with the understanding that parents and kids don't have a great deal of time for meal planning to address metabolic
syndrome concerns. Parents and kids on the go can easily participate.

     I recommend Ultracare First Start. A shake for breakfast and one after school as a snack will provide advanced nutritional support to manage metabolic problems. The product will safely satisfy the child's urge to overeat on cookies, candies, and other nutritionally deficient foods after school as well as provide a complete and great tasting breakfast to start the day.

    The program is easy for parents and kids to follow, and easy for you to implement. Use these simple instructions:
  1. Consume Ultracare First Start Medical Food shake for breakfast and after school.
  2. Eat a low-glycemic index diet. (Dietary guidelines are available in the Ultracare First Start Quick Start Guide.)
  3. Participate in aerobic activity 20 minutes a day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or sports activities. OR Walk 6,000 steps a day, which can be tracked with a pedometer. This is easily accomplished by taking a quick walk after school.
Ultracare First Start is a Science-based formulation designed specifically for children and teenagers aged 6 to 18 years. Give us a call or come in and see us for more information.
