Come to New Jersey’s First Green Children’s Health Expo….Saving Our Kids, Healing Our Planet

Sept. 12th and 13th at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)

As we all prepare for another school year, concerned parents, teachers and health care providers are asking: what more can be done to reverse the record number of children being affected by Asthma, ADHD, Autism, Allergies, Obesity, Childhood Cancers etc?. Many of us are all too familiar with these statistics:
1 in 150 children in the US are being diagnosed with Autism. In New Jersey, it is 1 in 94.
The CDC reports: 1 in 6 children have either a behavioral, neurological, or developmental condition.
Cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children.
Asthma has more than doubled since 1980 and is the leading chronic disease among American children.
1 in 6 children are considered overweight.
1 in 400-500 children have diabetes.
Of course we don’t have all of the answers, no one does….But on Saturday September 12th and Sunday September 13th on the campus of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) affordable and practical information on preventing and minimizing the symptoms associated with these conditions will be discussed. Seating is limited…..so don’t delay in registering to hear incredible presenters including pediatricians, nutritionists, authors and environmentalists discuss strategies for improving the health, mood, behavior and attention of our kids. Additionally, there will be dozens of green exhibits, free tastings of organic food and coffee, live music, an interactive eco-art mural, education on composting and recycling, nature crafts and much more. Let’s start the school year off right by listening to some of the most innovative thinkers of our time present information on greening our lives and improving the health, mood, attention and well being of our children!
