Childhood is a pivotal time for good nutrition. Organs and blood streams
nurtured with junk food cannot build a foundation for good health and
longevity as an adult. Drs. Joseph Mercola and Ben Lerner believe
profound inactivity, addiction to electronic media, and diets of
super-sized fast food and sugar-laden beverages have created a national
emergency. Generation XL is a clarion call and a detailed guide to
giving your child a vibrant, successful future and a healthy, wholesome,
invigorating youth.
As children riddled with pain, illness, learning disorders, and even
depression begin to show up everywhere, rather than looking at brain
development, nutrition, and lack of movement as the culprits, concerned
parents are turning to more and more medications. Think about that. Is
that how we were designed? To make medication a way of life and to be
drugged early on a consistent basis?
What does the future hold for us when kids are overweight, out of shape,
and taking medications for the effects? What kind of children are we
creating?
This is not a diet book-far, far from it. Dropping another diet book
into the same culture will do nothing but take up more room on your
shelf. Generation XL shows you how kids were created to eat, breathe,
sleep, run, and live. At the same time, Drs. Mercola and Lerner help you
change your family culture and recognize where the culture around you
isn't working so you can avoid it or help to change it.
Since prevention is always easier (and wiser) than cure, incorporating
the lifestyle changes suggested in Generation XL gives your child a
realistic way to reach and maintain a healthy weight; dramatically
reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
and other health risks; and build a strong body and positive mental
attitude, maximizing his or her IQ and giving the best chance for
success.
