What is Natural Kids JuniorSlim Formula?

Children of today's world face significant challenges in maintaining healthy body mass. Processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle in front of a TV or computer monitor have resulted in an increase in overweight and obese children. Children who are overweight also have self esteem, social and emotional problems and can struggle to keep up with their peers. Excess weight in childhood also predisposes children to obesity in adulthood and many conditions previously associated with obese adults (e.g. diabetes) are now becoming more and more common in children. (see below for more information on childhood obesity and weightloss).

What are the ingredients?

JuniorSlim contains the following carefully chosen herbal ingredients: 

Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel): Fennel has been used since ancient times as an appetite suppressant and was traditionally used to prevent 'growling stomachs' during church services. Fennel also promotes the functioning of the liver, kidneys and spleen. The health of these body organs is essential for the breakdown of dietary fat and the elimination of waste products from the body. 

Mentha piperita is a herb from the mint family and has been used for many hundreds of years for improving digestion. It relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract and stimulates the flow of natural digestive juices and bile, thereby assisting healthy digestion.

Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) is found in many parts of the world and contains bitter principles which have a stimulating effect on the liver and digestive system. It is also a very rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, D, C, and B and iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese.

Astragalus membranaceous (Huang Qi) is a herb which has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many centuries as a revitalizing tonic for the endocrine system. It is a very useful protector of thyroid and adrenal gland function and also helps to maintain stable blood pressure, metabolism and blood sugar levels.

Glycorrhiza glabra (Licorice) originates in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and has many uses, including being a tonic stimulant for the adrenal cortex and digestive system.

Stachys officinalis (Wood betony) is used to support nervous system and is very useful for the child who tends to 'comfort eat' or eat to mask anxiety and insecurity. Wood betony is also an excellent tonic for the cardiovascular system and will promote proper digestion.

Melissa officinalis is also called lemon balm and is well-known for its soothing and calming properties and is widely prescribed by herbalists for stress.   This herbal ingredient is also excellent at maintaining a healthy digestive system. 
 

JuniorSlim contains less than 1% pure pharmaceutical ethanol when diluted as directed.

How has Junior Slim helped other children?

'My son Chad is only 6 and had already started to become overweight. He was always on the chubby side but starting school and being exposed to a lot of junk food like chips and candy (which he loves) started to take their toll.  He became the butt of teasing and bullying because of his size and I could see this was affecting his self-esteem.  I didn’t want him to be a fat child who would grow to become a fat and unhealthy adult so decided to take action.  JuniorSlim was the best choice I could have made.  We began to monitor his diet a bit more closely and provided more healthy options for school lunches.  Within weeks he was more energetic and seemed happier and he has steadily lost his “pudgy” look over the last few months.  I have recommended Junior Slim to some other moms who are concerned about their kids putting on weight and everyone has been very impressed.' Janet F.

'Unfortunately my 11 year old twin girls have picked up on their parents’ bad lifestyle habits and their lack of exercise and poor diet began to take its toll on their health and young figures.  With both my husband and I working full-time, fast-food for dinner was almost a daily occurrence in our home.  Our daughters (like us) became overweight and unhappy.  At the age where all their friends were becoming aware of clothes and boys my two girls became withdrawn and I knew it was because of their weight.  We bought JuniorSlim and also began to eat more healthily at home.  The changes have been astounding - both girls have shed their puppy-fat and are looking absolutely lovely.  This has given them confidence and set my mind at rest about their health in the future.  JuniorSlim is an excellent product!' Cheryl and Steve

'I just want to tell you that Junior Slim worked very well to help me lose weight. I am so happy because now I can also do gymnastics like my friends and I don’t get tired like I did before.' From Candice (9)

How is Junior Slim used?

JuniorSlim is ideally suited to children between the age of 3 and 12, but may be used for children from the age of 12 years and older. Use one drop per age year of the child in approximately 1/4 glass of water or juice. Repeat two to three times daily before meals.

It is recommended that JuniorSlim be combined with regular exercise and a healthy diet for best results.

Caution: Not recommended for children under one year old. Do not deprive your child of healthy food. Consult a dietician or nutritionist for advice if your child is significantly overweight. (for more help, see below)

How long until I see results?

Because children are growing all the time, it is better to aim for healthy fat loss, rather than weight loss.  This means that normal growth is supported, while unhealthy fat is gradually shed and replaced with lean, strong body tissue and toned muscles. Regular use of JuniorSlim will show gradual fat loss without jeopardising normal growth. Immune system functioning will be enhanced and you should notice your child becoming more energetic and happy within 3 - 6 weeks.

For optimum results, combine with regular physical activity and a healthy balanced diet.

How long will a bottle last?

One 50 ml bottle will last approximately 30 days, depending on dosage and the age of the child. A 120-day supply (see the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE special below) would be four bottles.

Health Information on Childhood Obesity

Please note that this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention. When in doubt, please consult your health practitioner. 

Childhood Obesity

In many developed countries, childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions.  Obesity in children and adolescents can have far-reaching consequences for both the health and social development of these young people.  Obese children usually go on to become obese adults and can suffer from all the health problems associated with being overweight. 

Over the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity amongst South African children.  While statistics on childhood obesity in South Africa are not readily available, it is estimated that 15% of children aged between 6 and 11 years in the US are obese.  These statistics are worrying because of the impact obesity can have on childrens’ health, self-esteem, relationships and normal development.  Furthermore, along with the rise in childhood obesity, there has been an increase in medical conditions in children and adolescents that were previously considered adult diseases and found very rarely amongst young people.  Researchers and doctors are coming across cases of obesity-related illnesses in children more and more frequently.  These conditions include Type 2 diabetes, asthma and hypertension.

Causes of childhood obesity

Obesity in children is caused by several factors - mostly similar to those for obesity in adults.  A genetic predisposition to obesity has been found in children of obese and overweight parents and, of course, genes cannot be modified.  However, other factors which have to do with lifestyle can be modified to prevent weight gain and to help obese and overweight children lose weight.

A lack of regular physical activity or exercise is common amongst today’s youngsters as sedentary leisure activities like watching TV and using computers abound. 

Eating habits also directly affect weight in children and adolescents.  Consumption of high-calorie (usually low nutritional-value) foods is common with the growing popularity of fast-foods, convenience meals and “junk” food like candy and chips.  Poor eating habits also contribute to over-eating.  These may include eating during other activities such as watching TV and eating when not hungry. Instead of running around outside or taking part in social activities with their peers, many children eat to relieve boredom. Stressed and overworked parents often resort to unhealthy fast foods, candy and other high sugar, high fat foods due to lack of time to prepare healthy meals and in order to compensate for quality time with their children. 

Weight loss and prevention of childhood obesity

Healthy habits are best learned at a young age as behaviour change can become more difficult as children grow older.  Healthy eating habits and a positive approach to physical activity and exercise are two of the most important gifts you can give your children for their long-term health and happiness.  Parents are often the most important role models for children and having a home and family that prioritizes a healthy lifestyle will put children and adolescents on the path to natural, healthy, long-term weight control.

Health Tips for Healthy Families!

Try the following measures to create a more exercise-friendly and active environment in your home and community:

• Get the whole family involved in physical activities that everyone enjoys like walking, bicycling or rollerblading.

• Get other families in your neighbourhood involved in group activities or games like basketball, tag or touch-football.

• Make each member of your family responsible for different active chores like mowing the lawn, washing the cars or vacuuming.

• Encourage participation in organised sports or activities like dancing, tennis, martial arts etc

• Limit sedentary activities, especially computer games and TV.

The following tips will help you to instill healthier eating habits in your home and family members:

• Plan meals in advance to make shopping easier and get the whole family involved in preparation.  This will reduce time needed for preparing healthy meals and will teach children about healthy cooking methods and food preparation. 

• Eat meals together at the dinner table at regular times.

• Allow enough time for meals, as eating in a hurry is bad for proper digestion and does not allow a feeling of fullness to develop.

• Avoid other activities during mealtimes such as watching TV.

• Avoid foods that are high in calories, fat or sugar (learn to read food labels!)

• Have snack foods available that are low-calorie and nutritious like fruit and vegetables cut into convenient snack-sizes or small cartons of yoghurt.

• Serve smaller portions but allow for second helpings after a short wait.

• Limit fast-food and junk food to no more than once a week.

• Don’t use food or lack of food as punishment or reward.
