A wheaty way to boost your child's immune system
MANILA, Philippines - Fortify your children’s immune system 24/7 by giving them a well-balanced diet of healthy food and beverages. But saying this is easier than done especially if you have children who hate vegetables and run away at the sight of vitamin capsules. Admittedly, many medications and health drinks have that funny aftertaste experienced by adults and children.
Thankfully, there’s Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass with Honey, which can be prepared by simply mixing the powder with cold water. It has the sweet-tasting blend of wheatgrass and honey, called nature’s nutritive sweetener, that children will readily relish. Mothers can combine the drink with fruits like banana or pineapple. Or they can turn it into shakes and smoothies.
Popular sports broadcaster and health enthusiast Dyan Castillejo, for one, has the mother’s classic experience of trying to change her child’s eating habits. Her eight-year-old son Matthew isn’t fond of vegetables.
Dyan relates, “My husband and I drink the honey-flavored wheatgrass every day. Matthew took a liking to it two years ago. Every now and then, he watches me when I make him his green juice. One sachet is equivalent to one kilo of the choicest vegetables. I’m glad to see him willing to take in something so healthy and nutritious at such a young age. Of course, its sweet and delicious taste helps,” shares the 45-year-old mom.
Matthew, she adds, also takes Whea-gee Chewables every day. The chewable tablets contain colostrum which stimulates children’s muscle growth and enhances their immune system or their ability to fight germs.
The powder and the chewables are made from both the leaves and roots of the wheatgrass plant, a life-sustaining complete food that has the right combination of nutrients and more than 100 types of enzymes to neutralize the acids in the body. A major component of the plant is chlorophyll, the basis of all plant life.
When absorbed by the body, wheatgrass helps produce fresh blood which carries oxygen to every cell, destroying free radicals and building up the blood’s alkalinity. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an alkaline environment.
The Easy Pha-max products are available in major drugstores nationwide like Mercury Drug, Watsons, and South Star Drug as well as S&R branches in Metro Manila and Cebu.
