Introduction

It is surprising that it had to take scientific researchers to tell a large number of parents out there, that it is necessary for them to make sure that their children had a regular dose of sun, fresh air, water, and oxygen in order to keep healthy. When I saw this research which was very well-publicized, I blinked. Were there people really in the world, who needed scientific research to prove something, which was self-evident, before they would take their families into the lap of nature?

It is then that I began to analyze the social lifestyles and trends being set for the younger generation, with the elder generation as an example. The elder generation, the parents, had begun living a hectic lifestyle, where survival of the fittest, especially on the financial front was paramount. Thus bothering about rest and recuperation in the lap of nature began to take a backseat, way back in the 90s.

This lapse also caused ever-growing statistics in tension, stress, depression, obesity, a low immunity system, vulnerability to a number of diseases. Also, children began growing up with underdeveloped cognitive abilities and also physicals resilience, because they had not learned about the beneficial qualities of “Power N” to help keep you healthy, naturally and give you long-term health benefits at the same time.

Also, the parents are not to blame. When a child was young, if he had not been taught by his own parents to walk, run, jog, explore, go adventuring in the lap of nature, you would not expect him to grow up deciding that he had better become a nature loving Wild Kid, all of a sudden. I have seen a large number of my city bred friends, who would shudder at the idea of tiring themselves on nature hikes, or go adventuring in woods, you know all those insects and snakes and bugs and sabertooth tigers out there, shudder, shiver.
