Juice Plus+ Children's Health Study

Nutrition Detectives

Dr. David Katz and his Turn The Tide Foundation offer a fun and entertaining classroom program for teaching children how to eat better. In fact, we were so impressed that Juice Plus+® funded an animated DVD version of the program for use in classrooms across North America.

You can learn more about this program – and how to implement it in your school – at www.NutritionDetectives.com.

We also offer a free DVD from Nutrition Detectives that highlights the importance of eating more fruits and vegetables. You can request your free copy from your Juice Plus+® representative or email us at ChildrensHealthStudy@JuicePlus.com.

Other Health and Nutrition Websites

"America's Pediatrician" Dr. William Sears and his RN wife Martha Sears have authored more than 30 popular books on children and parenting. They share their advice and recommendations on children's health and nutrition at www.AskDrSears.com.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also offers sound advice and information regarding children's health and nutrition at www.AAP.org.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide two excellent websites.

Good nutrition and physical activity work hand-in-hand to help both you and your children lead longer, healthier lives.
