How healthy are your children?

We cited evidence in the last post about how increasing your scanner score (measuring Skin Carotenoids) was correlated with fewer breast cancers.

Today, I cite a recent article in the Jr of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Skin Carotenoids: A Biomarker of Fruit and Vegetable Intake in Children, evaluating Skin Carotenoid Scores in children ages 5-17 years.

We know that eating more fruits and vegetables is a healthier choice, but how do you know what your children really eat?

In this report, levels of skin carotenoids (BioPhotonic Scanner, no needle stick, 30 second hand scan, immediate result) correlated with serum carotenoids (drawing blood).  That means, in the words of the authors, "skin carotenoids may be used as a valid biomarker of fruit and vegetable intake among children".   

If you want to know how healthy your children are, particularly as they go off to school, then bring them in for a 30 second, painless hand scan to learn what they are really eating!  We have flexible hours for appointments for only $20 per scan.  We could even arrange to come to your school or soccer practice.

Get them started early making healthy choices!

Together we can prevent 90,000 breast cancer cases this year and more next year!

This is general content and not personal medical advice, but you may call 512-451-5788 to arrange a scan time.
