SimplyH Childhood Obesity Researcher to Speak on "Raising Healthy and Fit Kids" at Natural Products Expo West
SimplyH Founder and CEO, Dr. Richard Visser, will talk about current children's health issues and ways busy parents can provide their kids with proper nutrition. His research on the childhood obesity pandemic will be the basis for his discussion at the upcoming Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, Calif.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 7, 2005
Dr. Richard Visser, CEO and founder of SimplyH, a global health organization, will present "Raising Healthy and Fit Kids" at Natural Products Expo West tradeshow and conference, at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday, March 19 at 12 p. m. in room 201D. Visser's current clinical childhood obesity research will provide the basis for his presentation as part of the Expo West education sessions scheduled March 17-20, 2005, in Anaheim, Calif.
Visser will discuss the current state of children's health, as well as kids' nutritional guidelines and goals. He will also examine the recent nutritional challenges facing today's youth. With the USDA's 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reporting that many children do not obtain adequate amounts of calcium, potassium, fiber, magnesium and vitamins A, C and E, and another study linking overweight preschoolers to consumption of "sweet drinks" such as fruit drinks, juice and soda, Visser's presentation on raising healthy and fit children is highly relevant (Welsh, J. A., et al. Pediatrics 2005;115:223-229).
"It is crucial that members of the natural products industry are armed with the facts about kids' nutrition so that they can continue to develop and offer healthy products that evolve with the ever-changing landscape of children's health," states Visser.
VisserÂ’s research on 10,000 children and the obesity pandemic has provided him with a deep understanding of childrenÂ’s complete nutrition and has made him a forerunner in toddlersÂ’ nutrition. He is the first to specifically address the inadequate nutritional intake of children ages 13 months to 5 years with his development of an alternative to high-sugar juices and milk - and soy-based drinks.
