What is your child drinking?

What is your child drinking?

Here's some recent news headlines that caught our attention and prompted us to ask the question, "What is your child drinking?."

News headline #1:

U.S. teenagers are living with the threat of osteoporosis in later life by not getting enough calcium, claims a new report that suggests supplements could help.

Intake of calcium is important for the development of the skeleton and to reduce the risk of fracture and osteoporosis in later life, and the peak calcium buildup rate is at age 12.5 for girls and 14 for boys.

The article, published in the journal Pediatrics, reported that about 30 per cent of boys and only 10 per cent of girls were achieving the recommended daily intake (RDI) of calcium. The RDI for 9 to 18 year olds is 1300 mg per day, and yet the average intake in this age group is about 850 mg per day.

News headline #2:

Obesity has long been recognized as a cause for type-2 diabetes, but scientists now say that the disease may be a factor in accelerated type-1 diabetes in some children.

The new research, published in the February issue of Diabetes Care, may lead to more pressure being placed on food and beverage manufacturers, already under fire for the rising incidence of childhood obesity.

"The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity may substantially account for the younger age at onset of type 1 diabetes observed in various populations," said researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

The new study was part of the Search for Diabetes in Youth, which is trying to determine the prevalence and incidence of childhood diabetes and document how much childhood diabetes is type 1, how much is type 2.

The American Heart Association recently released nutritional guidelines for children, underlining that arteriosclerosis begins at a young age, and that those who follow a poor diet and take too little exercise may already have a build-up of plaque in the arteries by adolescence. Furthermore, type 2 Diabetes, which used to be known as adult onset diabetes, is now increasingly being diagnosed in kids, adding to the cardiovascular risk profile of children.

In 2002, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) cited that 16 percent of children aged 6-11 were overweight, with the same percentage holding true for 12-19 year olds.

Our comment...

Considering that most beverages consumed by children these days are often loaded with sugar, high fructose syrup, artificial colors & sweeteners, and devoid of minerals, we believe X2O is the perfect (and much healthier) alternative.

Has your child or grandchild tried X2O yet?

EveryBody Needs It.



Xtreme X2O is the ultimate way to hydrate your body. Take a few minutes and read through this page to discover the incredible benefits of Xooma's Xtreme X2O.

Transform your water! Make X2O your daily source for hydration and refreshment!
It's as easy as 1-2-3!Step 1: Drop an X2O sachet ("teabag") in 18-24 ounces of purified or bottled water.Step 2: Shake for 10-15 secondsStep 3: Allow 5 minutes for X2O to transform your water before drinking


Hydrate, Mineralize, & Revitalize with X2O!


Hydrate:
X2O sachets actually make water "wetter" by lowering the surface tension of water molecules. This dramatically increases your water's ability to hydrate your body at the cellular level.

pH Defined: pH simply means potential hydrogen. Every one-point decrease on the pH scale is 10 times more acidic. For example, a drop from 7.0 to 2.0 is 100,000 times more acidic for your body!


Mineralize: Every Sachet of X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals (electrolytes) become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily by your body.
X2O is delivered in a pure ionic form, which means it is immediately bioavailable to the body. X2O may also help your body to:
Assimilate vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat and the supplements you take
Combat arthritis and heart disease
Cleanse the kidneys, intestines, and liver
Protect your body from free radical cell damage
Increase muscle and joint mobility
Increase your oxygen levels
Control digestive problems
Regulate blood sugar
Manage blood pressure
Neutralize harmful acids that lead to illness
Help in fighting the battle against cancer and other diseases
Revitalize: Alkalinity = good health. X2O transforms your water into a powerful alkaline beverage, which fights against the physical stress caused by today's fast-paced lifestyles.
It takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you drink acidic soda, coffee, tea, and energy drinks your body uses its own buffers (from bone and dna) to raise the body's alkalinity to maintain your healthy blood pH level of 7.35-7.45.

The Facts:
"More than 1 in 5 Americans unknowingly drink tap water polluted with feces, radiation or other contaminants Nearly 1,000 deaths each year and at least 400,000 cases of waterborne illness may be attributed to contaminated water"-The New York Times - June 2, 1995Clean your water with X2O - Click here to see how!

ORP Testing:
Xooma X2O has also been tested by an independent laboratory located in the NASA Langley Research Center. The degree of "negativity" of an ORP reading is an indicator of how bioavailable and bioabsorbable a product will be in your body. The lower the test reading, the more ions are available for your body's metabolic functions. X2O is the only product of it's kind to register "minus" readings on the ORP meter; a huge benefit over the other products tested.
