Like many parents, we have doubts and confusion along the way in our attempts to raise healthy kids. When Celine, our eldest daughter, was 3 years old, she was placed in a full day child care centre. She was perpetually down with fever, cough and flu, contracted from her peers. With the constant in-take of medicine and antibiotics, her immune system was going down the hill.
When she was 5, she developed asthma. Various steroid puffs were prescribed to ease her congested breathing. At times when her condition became worse, she was brought to the hospital to be put on Nebuliser. Darien, on the other hand, has had eczema since birth, and it was aggravating. We were at our wit’s end.
In December 2005, we attended a talk entitled ‘Raising Healthy Children in a Junk Food Culture” by Lydia Ling, a business partner of NewLife™ Singapore. The talk was very educational, offering many valuable and practical guides to parents on raising healthy children from pre-conception up to children’s teenage stage. I strongly recommend that all young couples and parents to attend this talk by NewLife™ whenever opportunity arises.
From the talk, we learnt that most people (especially Asians) do not have the enzyme to digest the milk sugar lactose and milk protein casein. We didn’t know that indigestion of lactose (milk sugar) often results in mucus, phlegm, diarrhoea, gas, and other severe symptoms like asthma and eczema. NewLife™ advocates consumption of yoghurt to overcome the problem of milk allergies. Yoghurt, a pre-digested milk, contains live and active cultures which help to break down lactose, casein, and other components so that we can benefit from all the goodness found in milk. We decided to implement what we learnt, and removed cow’s milk from our children’s diet. Lo and behold, their conditions began to improve.
Today our children’s diet comprises brown rice, much less meat and a lot more greens, fruits and fresh juices. We also give them wholesome food from NewLife™:-
Yoghurt using NewLife™ Organic Low Fat Milk Powder.
K-Salt. Flaxseed Oil, Spirulina Powder, Nutritional Yeast and Bee Pollen are added to their yoghurt taken once a day.
Honegar (Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with Pure Raw Honey), a highly nutritious drink power-packed with potassium, amino acids, minerals and enzymes. It helps to reduce phlegm.
Daily rebounding on the Rebounder keeps our children fitter. With a simple diet change. I can see the increased level of energy and alertness in my children. Their health has improved tremendously.
Over a year has passed. Celine has not had an occurrence of asthma and Darien’s eczema has almost disappeared. Both have not visited a doctor since. Occasionally when they are not feeling too well, we would boost their immunity with Vitamin C, Propolplus, Garlic & Parsley, lots of Spirulina. Honegar drinks and juices. We will put them on water or coffee enema when they are down with fever. It is very effective.
We are so proud to announce the arrival of our 3rd child. Sarah born on 2nd May 2007. She has thicker hair as compared to my two older children and she’s very healthy indeed. This is because while she was still inside her Mummy’s womb, she was already well fed with yoghurt, Immuflora, Honegar, Herbal Klenz, Flaxseed Oil, K-Salt. carrot apple juices and green juices, C Complex, Calcium Complex with Boron, Kelp, B-Complex. CoQ10, lots of Spirulina and Super Green Food Plus.
Thanks to NewLife™. we have become wise in feeding our precious little ones. We are now ready to equip others to do the same.
