I created ‘The Amazing Army’ nutrition programs and school show to\u00a0engage the same qualities in children, but in a healthy and positive light.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n In a vivid tale of good against evil, Louise captivates children with the story of The<\/em> Amazing Army<\/em> who live inside everyone\u2019s body. Captain Immune<\/em> leads the Army\u2019s battle against the Bad Bugs<\/em> of illness. The story explains how The\u00a0<\/em>Amazing Army\u2019s<\/em> powerful energy comes from the colourful fruit and vegetables delivered by Major Energy<\/em>, but is weakened by the sweets and treats of junk food temptress, Sneaky Sweetie<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Louise highlights that most parents already know that fruit and vegetables keep growing bodies and immune systems strong. And, there is enough education in the media to help them understand that sugary, processed foods compromise their child\u2019s immunity and contribute to conditions like obesity and ADHD. However,\u00a0more often than not, it\u2019s the ‘battle of wills’ with their children that brings parents\u2019 efforts for healthy mealtimes unstuck.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018I developed The Amazing Army story\u00a0to “cut parents a break”,\u2019 says Louise. \u2018As a mother, I know too well how draining it is trying to persuade your child to eat well; especially, when they are bombarded with manipulative advertising from junk food companies.\u00a0However, if my Nutrition Programs can create in children a willing attitude and eager appetites for fruit and vegetables, then parents\u2019 jobs of raising healthier families will become a breeze.
