the same book as this one - it is not!

Podcast: Using Isagenix While Pregnant or Nursing
|
By Andrea Frank Henkart, M.A., Certified Nutritional Counselor
Most parents agree that everything in moderation is best when it comes to our kids, especially when it comes to food. With vending machines filled with junk food and soda, lollipops given as a reward at the doctor’s office, and over 17,000 new processed foods introduced yearly (1)—many of which are sold at kid’s eye level—at what moment does moderation become excess? When you cut through all the mass marketing messages, the packaging, and the whining and begging, the bottom line is always the same: kids need healthy fruits, veggies, whole grains, healthy proteins, and a certain amount of healthy fats. They also need vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients to form healthy bodies and minds. The best way to get these is through good food, preferably organic whenever possible. |

However, it is not that easy to ensure your children are
getting the proper nutrition they need. Our soils are depleted of
minerals (2). Also, over 80,000 environmental toxins are released
yearly with most of them going untested for toxicity (3). Many kids are
picky eaters and refuse to eat the healthy food you offer them. Put
those and other factors together and you have a lack in the proper
nutrients your child receives.
Generally speaking, most kids get too much of the wrong stuff and not enough of the right stuff. Chances are, your kids and many of their peers are eating too many fats, added sugars, sodium, empty carbs, and preservatives. Statistics show kids aren’t getting nearly enough fruits and veggies. Only 22 percent of children ages 2 to 5 meet government recommendations for vegetable consumption according to a 2009 study by researchers at Ohio State University, and it only gets worse as kids get older. Just 16 percent of children ages 6 to 11 meet the government’s guidelines, and only 11 percent of those ages 12 to 18 (4).
The childhood obesity rate has more than tripled in the past four decades (5). Girls now have a 40 percent lifetime risk of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and boys have a 30 percent risk (6). Without changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle, our kid’s odds of growing into healthy adults are not looking good.
There may be many issues over which you battle with your kids, like safety and homework. But food? Food sustains your family and brings everyone together. If your family meals have become family feuds, then perhaps it is time to switch things up. Isagenix offers healthy solutions for healthier eating.
Kids who get plenty of exercise, follow the Isagenix program, and eat a healthy, well-balanced diet build strong, healthy bodies. Isagenix provides our children with unparalleled nutritional products that enhance health.
All Isagenix superfoods meet our no-compromise ingredient policy standards. They use only natural ingredients with no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors.
Below are some of the superfoods your kids can enjoy.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are the most nutritionally demanding times in a woman’s life. The body needs enough nutrients every day to support the growth of the baby and the maintenance of the mother’s body. All the nourishment your developing baby needs comes from your body, either through the foods you eat or the supplements you take. The quality of your diet during pregnancy has a profound influence on positive fetal and maternal outcomes.
This is not the time to diet or cleanse your body. Most pregnant and lactating women need an additional 300 calories each day to support the growth of the baby (1). But not all calories are equal. Your baby needs healthy foods that are packed with nutrients, not “empty calories” like those found in fast or fried food, soft drinks, candies, and desserts. The 40 weeks of pregnancy can be a magical time. |
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout pregnancy, as well as before and after, is crucial for both mommy and baby. Important steps to a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience include eating a balanced diet; gaining the right amount of weight; enjoying regular physical activity; taking a vitamin and mineral supplement when recommended by a physician or midwife; and avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful substances.
It is important for a woman to discuss and monitor her weight and nutritional needs with her doctor throughout the pregnancy. Good nutrition is directly linked to a higher chance of a normal birth-weight, improving fetal brain development, and reducing the risk of many birth defects (2). The following list of Isagenix super foods may be incorporated into a pregnant or breastfeeding mom’s diet (with your health care provider’s cooperation):
IsaLean Shakes, Soups and Bars: Pregnant women need an increase in calories, vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, trace elements, fiber and enzymes. Pair these super nutrients in the products with lean proteins, whole grains, and fresh organic fruits and vegetables to make sure you’re getting enough calories and nutrients for your baby to grow and develop.
FiberSnacks, Whey Thins, SlimCakes, Isagenix Snacks: These delicious guilt-free indulgences help to curb cravings, support digestive and heart health, and offer a healthy dose of fiber and/or protein.
Mars Venus Wellness Solution: The three-part Mars Venus Wellness System includes a nutritional shake, a lemon drink full of prebiotics, and mineral supplements. Ask your health care practitioner to monitor you while you use this complete system.
IsaCrunch: Add to yogurt, salads, soups, or your Isagenix Shake for extra vegetarian protein, and omega 3s.
Want More Energy?: This drink powder contains vitamins A, C, B-complex, electrolytes and nutrients lost during stress and exercise. It’s natural fuel without caffeine or stimulants.
FiberPro: Adds 5 grams of flavorless, easily dissolved fiber and prebiotics to support your gut. May be helpful for regularity and digestion, especially while pregnant.
Isamune Plus with Zinc: With natural immune supporting ingredients like zinc, echinacea, and hormone-free, USDA dairy certified bovine colostrum, this spray is healthy for the whole family and tastes great.
Multi-Enzyme Complex: Helps to improve your body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients from foods and supplements while easing common digestive problems such as gas, bloating, indigestion, and heartburn.
IsaFruits: A great source of phytonutrients, with just 1 gram of sugar. It helps fight the effects of free radicals on cells and the immune system.
C-Lyte: Antioxidant protection that helps keep your body in peak health and provides immune support.
IsaKids Essentials: Contains 100 percent of the recommended daily amount of 16 essential vitamins and minerals kids need, and 400 mcg of folic acid that pregnant and nursing moms can also use. (Check with your doctor to see if you need an additional prenatal supplement.)
IsaOmega Supreme: A pure and advanced supplement with a pleasant lemon flavor. Vital in the last trimester when the baby takes all that it needs from your body to properly develop.
Ageless Pain Relief Cream: Combines natural menthol and methyl salicylate to provide cooling and immediate relief followed by deeper heat that helps relax sore, tense muscles.
Rejuvity Skincare System: The seven-step skincare system is scientifically formulated to invigorate the skin with the ultimate experience in hydration, illumination, and rejuvenation. Rejuvity cleanses and replenishes from the outside in.
Cleanse Days are not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding. New moms need a regular intake of sufficient calories to ensure a healthy production of milk. In addition, other Isagenix products that contain herbal ingredients and adaptogens, including Cleanse for Life, Ionix Supreme, IsaDelight Plus, Brain and Sleep Support, Ageless Actives, e+, to name a few, should be avoided because of lack of studies done on pregnant and nursing moms (3). However, after pregnancy, and once you have weaned your baby, new moms can benefit from using Isagenix products to release any unwanted baby weight.
New moms should not pressure themselves into snapping back to their pre-pregnancy bodies too quickly. It’s possible to regain your old muscle tone, or even develop tone you never had before, no matter how old you are. But it takes time (4). The complete Isagenix system, plus a diet of healthy proteins, fruits, and vegetables can certainly help once you are ready to lose that extra baby weight, regain your focus, increase your memory, and enhance your sex drive. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself time — your overall health and happiness can influence just how happy your baby is now and in the future.
