Foundation Launches Unique Children’s Nutritional Products To Support Children’s Health Worldwide
Midway, Utah
-- Parents can now make sure their child is getting the right nutrition while supporting the health of children throughout the world. Kids4FitKids Foundation announced today the availability of Fit4Kids™ and Fit4Teens™ complete nutritional whole food programs in delicious chocolate shakes. All proceeds from Fit4Kids™ and Fit4Teens™ will go towards efforts to address the health crisis of obesity and malnutrition among the children in the U.S.A. and around the world.
A daily serving of the all vegetarian Fit4Kids™ and Fit4Teens™ provides children and
teenagers with concentrated fruits and vegetables that are often lacking in even the most health conscious diet. All of the nutrients are in whole food form with
vitamins from carrots, tomatoes, cherries and other whole foods, rather than synthetic chemical compounds and minerals that are found in some children’s supplements.
Fit4Kids™ and Fit4Teens™ also contain many nutrients not available in other children’s
supplements, including Martek DHA™, a vegetarian source of the omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain and eye development; probiotics to support digestive health
and guard against colds and flu; and phytonutrients to help prevent certain types of cancers.
“Fit4Kids™
and Fit4Teens™ whole food nutrition programs are designed to meet the everyday nutritional needs of children and teens while addressing a growing health crisis among children in the U.S. and throughout the world. More than 155 million school age children worldwide are overweight or obese with significantly increased risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. In addition, more than 27,000 children worldwide die each day from malnutrition. Recent studies show that more than 80 percent of the world’s children suffer from some form of malnutrition,” said Jan Myrick, Executive Director of Kids4FitKids Foundation.
In addressing nutritional solutions for children, the foundation has also developed a whole food
product for parents. Fit4Life™ will be marketed along with the Fit4Kids™ and Fit4Teens™ providing nutrition solutions for the entire family. All Whole
Food Nutrition Programs will be sold exclusively through the Kids4FitKids Foundation. All net proceeds will provide funding for schools and non-profit organizations
for the promotion of healthy lifestyle programs and fund humanitarian efforts to distribute nutritious meals to hungry and malnourished children around the world.
Kids4FitKids Foundation is a coalition of businesses; community leaders, mothers and humanitarian
organizations committed to developing and promoting programs that effectively address this growing health crisis. For more information on Kids4FitKids Foundation,

Fit4Kids™ will be available in 2008.
