Supplements and the young

THE average baby born today can expect to live 75 years if it’s a boy, and 81 years if a girl. Just exactly how long we each will live depends on our genetic makeup, the environment and the lifestyle we choose; these factors also determine how well we live – our quality of life.  

Lifestyle factors include diet, exercise and whether we smoke or drink alcohol. Statistics show that more than 60% of the diseases we develop later in life are related to diet, and it is obvious that the choices we make for our children and the habits we cultivate in them in the first 10 years of their lives will have profound effects on their long-term quality of life.
