Part 2. Demystify the Mystery of Supplements from Pam Bartha on Vimeo.

UNICEF's most recent statistics say that every year 5 million children die from malnutrition.

That's one every 6 seconds! Incredibly 12 children will have died by the time you have finished reading this blog.

Current food programme are mainly fortified blended flours, which do not meet the mimimum nutritional criteria for young children as set by WHO. Filling a child's stomach fails is only a temportary fix to a bigger problem.

Mannarelief's strategy is to provide natural, nutrient-dense foods that support the child's nutritonal needs. Doctors Without Borders have been asking asking for this solution.

Now just a 75g serving of Phytoblend Powder can be added to almost any meal to give a child's growing body the nutritional support it needs.

So how can you help?

A small one-time donation of $100, or about £65, will give six months supply of Phytoblend for one child.

Up to 31st December - Mannatech will match it, so the child receives food for one year.

As you know I have been using Mannatech supplements for the last five years.

So I was fascinated to see an Horizon programme. It was an investigation by Dr Rosina Ali, an NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon, who was looking into how our skin ages and how to slow down the process.

I was interested because the skin is just the largest organ of the body and what she discovered can be applied to every other cell of our body.

From her investigation she recommends taking Antioxidants, Omega 3 and Glyconutrients. I have been recommending these supplements are a way to maintain your health. I often see articles on Omega 3 and Anitoxidants, but this is the first time I have seen Glyconutrients mentioned on mainstream television.

Let me know if you want to get some!

The matrix of the tooth is establised during pregnancy and re-enforced once the baby is born. So it is very important to eat enough calcium and also Vit D while you are pregnant and breastfeeding.

Most adult women only eat half the protein they need each day, so start pregnancy at a low level. This is why pregnant women used to be given extra milk to drink, as it is an easily digested form of calcium.

However, the other problem is that for strong teeth and bones we also need fat-soluble Vit D. When we drink skimed milk, it is the fat that has been removed and therefore the Vit D. Without enough Vit D the baby's tooth buds that form in the womb aren't strong enough, so the teeth come through deficient in enamel.

Tooth decay can be prevented by good diet, but it has to start before the baby is born and continue throughout childlhood.

You can get enough calcium by consciously eating calcium rich foods from good sources, however it is difficult to get enough Vit D without taking a supplement. Look for a Vit D3 and Omega 3 combination as they work well together. 

Organic fruit and vegetables are much better for you – and scientists have finally been able to explain why.  Organic produce are not grown with nitrogenous fertilizers, and so have to activate their own defence system, which, in turn, increases their levels of antioxidants.  

A new source of organic fruits and veg, in a powder form is NurtriVerus, which is coming to the UK in the Autumn. I have some if you can't wait and want to try it now.

This is a really clear and simple method.

This clip shows how the body uses sugars called glyconutrients to support all the body functions, including immune support, also how they start to break down when we are not eating enough of them.

They are what we need to put us in the best place to remain healthy during the Flu season.
