Obesity Trends
Christine Wood MD, Pediatrician
The public health alarm has sounded and most people are well aware of the increase in overweight children in the U.S. The questions we are grappling with - why is this trend occurring and what does it mean for the future of our children?
Answering the first part of this question could be stated very simply - too many calories and too little activity, but in reality it is more complex. The media marketing food and sedentary activities to our children, cheap processed food choices, the ease of fast food for stressed out parents, schools offering sodas and candies, communities that make driving necessary and walking almost impossible, and the list could go on and on.
But who is ultimately responsible for the problem? Read more...
D Day: An All-out Assault on Chronic Disease by Vitamin D.
Ladd McNamara M.D.
“D Day,” a military term used to designate the day a combat operation will commence, the most famous, of course, occurring on June 6, 1944; the date of the largest amphibious assault in which the allied British and American forces stormed the beaches of Normandy into Nazi-occupied France, becoming one of the most significant battles in winning World War II. The comparison for my article on increasing our intake of vitamin D may be a bit dramatic, but it is not too far off from what I suggest should be our “D – DAY” for going all out on supplementing with vitamin D against chronic disease, particularly when 4 out of 5 people are significantly deficient in vitamin D.

One of our Mentors told us about the difference of hoping, believing, and knowing. Hope is something that you might not know if it is true but as you exercise it with faith it increases. Believing is something that has gone beyond hope due to increasing faith and some experience witnessing events making it true. Knowing goes beyond hope, faith, and belief. It is rock solid. No One or nothing can change what you know to be true.
About four years ago we looked to USANA to improve our health after losing a family member to multiple Chronic Diseases, and hoped what we heard was true. After taking some of the products and some of the improvements we saw in our lives, we felt better and believed it was true. Today we know that USANA manufactures and sells the finest quality products that money can buy. Our health is the most important thing for not only living a long life but one that can be enjoyed every year we are alive. The founder of USANA, Dr. Myron Wentz says" " Live life to it's fullest in happiness and in health."

March is known throughout the sporting world as Madness when it comes to College Basketball. John Wooden is often mentioned for his Coaching ability and his mentoring. Many people often go through life and think about themselves and a "what's in it for me?" attitude. Thinking of others is often revealed as one of the quickest paths to personal growth. Many people in the USANA Family donate to the Childrens Hunger Fund monthly and often volunteer for many fund raising efforts throughout the year. Coach Wooden once said, " You can not live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." Improve your life by improving the lives of others.
