WITH THE HOLIDAYS UPON US, HEALTHY EATING BECOMES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT FOR OUR CHILDREN; VOOTS HELPS BUSY PARENTS OFFER A NUTRITIOUS TREAT BOTH SIMPLY AND AFFORDABLY

All-natural Voots offer a full day's serving of fruits and vegetables in two candy-like tarts

Golden, CO, November 4, 2008—With the holidays upon us and visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads, one of the last things most parents think about is the nutritional health of their children. Yet with studies showing that only seven percent of American children are getting their daily recommended allowances of fruits and vegetables during the rest of the year, this number is certain to jump dramatically from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve. Voots, a supplement that provides a full day's serving of fruits and vegetables in two candy-like tarts, is helping parents survive the busy holiday season without compromising their children's health.

Studies show that the holidays are a time when children's health is at an all-time high risk due to excessive sweets, busy schedules, and long days at home during school breaks. Additionally, extreme consumption of flours and sugars will result in a mood "high" causing our children to act out in front of friends, family, and co-workers at the countless holiday parties we seem to find ourselves attending. More importantly, ingesting too many holiday treats will not only affect a child's behavior but his or her health as well. By not monitoring holiday junk food consumption, parents may be contributing to both weight gain and suppressed immune system function. This dramatically reduces the number of white blood cells in the body. Blood cells that are paramount to fighting off infection, particularly during a time of year when germs are running rampant and colds are all too common.

Yet how do we ensure our children eat healthy without depriving them of the fun and traditions of the holidays that typically include sweets and sugars? Voots, a simple substitute for candy or cookies, allow kids to feel like they are indulging while still getting all of the goodness they need to stay nourished. Intended for children ages two and up, Voots is an all-natural tablet filled with the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in three servings of real vegetables and fruits. What's more, Vootsare quick, simple, and affordable, allowing busy, stressed parents to offer an on-the-go treat in the midst of the holiday bustle.

"As the father of three young girls, I am all too familiar with the temptations that surround us during the holiday season. I also know that during this time of year, my wife and I are often pressed for time and can't tend to our children's diets as we typically would," Voots founder and fitness industry expert Stephen Adele attests. "Voots are the perfect tool for offering our children a 'sweet' treat without feeling guilty or contributing to poor health and a diminished immune system," he finishes.

Busy, health-conscious parents can rest easy knowing that Voots are the ideal stocking stuffer, holiday treat, or party favor. Voots are made in the USA, using only ingredients produced in the USA.
