Could poor diet as a child lead to health problems later

Could poor diet as a child lead to health problems later?
When I was little we were really poor and my diet was mostly kraft dinners (I still eat these everyday though), ramen and peanut butter. We didn't even get bread for the peanut butter because of the price - we used cheap crackers or sometimes canned biscuits if we could them super cheap. The fruits and veggies we had were only the very cheap ones like bananas, carrots and canned stuff. Sometimes in the summer we had a few garden veggies and in the winter usually we had a deer. Now I have noticed that I have really bad teeth and I think it may be from early malnutrition. I've had three root canals and a filling in every tooth except for the four front ones. I'm kind of worried that I may have more health problems later. Should I be too worried?

I think you will be ok....as long as your provide you body with what it needs now. As go for your teeth yes that is most likely from poor eating, but could your family afford to take you to the dentist as a kid? That too could be why your having teeth problems.
2 :
Yes what you eat when your younger could effect you when your older :/ Your bad teeth could be due to not brushing properly or not enough mind?
3 :
Definitely. It's not too late to change and make a difference though. Usually a bad diet as a child can lead to memory problems, obesity, bone problems and diabetes. Take the plunge now and start incorporating healthy food into your diet. Your teeth are also as important, you want to have a good set, instead of falsies!
4 :
Yes it does. But what is even more important is how you eat now.
5 :
Maybe you should start eating a new diet, like drinking lots of milk daily, have your 8 glasses of water, eat good fruits, veggies, grains, meats and dairy.
6 :
start eating healthier now and get calcium for your teeth as well start drinking milk and eating cheese
7 :
i didnt read your paragraph, sorry, but yes poor diet can lead to health problems later in life.

You had a somewhat healthy diet. The deer was the most nutritious of everything especially if you ate the whole heer ( and I bet you didn't). Carbohydrates is the leading cause of bad teeth. So it was good that you didn't get bread for the peanut butter but it is too bad that the peanut butter was full of sugar. http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/tooth_decay.htm#What%20is One way that is healthy and can save a lot of money on dental bills is a low carb diet. Plus extend this into intermittent fasting. Meat and vegetables are the main source of nutrients and just enough carbohydrates to balance the glucose levels. Don't hesitate to purchase the cheaper fattier cuts of meat and cook them in your vegetables. Even though eggs seem expensive they are really economically priced. There are many low carb vegetables that are also among the most nutritious such as mustard greens, collard greens, spinach,brocolli and can easily be grown in the graden and canned. If you have access to wild game such as deer take advantage of it. Read this: http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/native_americans.html Intermittent fasting; http://www.davedraper.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/PmWiki/IntermittentFasting Now intermittent fasting isn't something you just jump into. Your body has to adjust to the new eating cycle. But it isn't difficult if you commit yourself and hopefully this one article will help you to do this. But, if you need more information ar if you want to hear my experience, I would be happy to share more with you.

does step father need to provide health insurance for step child

does step father need to provide health insurance for step child?
His company is doing a health insurance audit. Now they want documentation from the court stating that he is responsible to provide insurance. How and where would I get such documentation? I was never married to my daughters father. We decided what was best amongst ourselves put it on paper and notorized it. My daughters father would pay for private education and I would pay for the rest. Now that I am married to her step father the insurance company wants clarification that the step father has to provide insurance.

That would be listed on his Mother's Divorce Decree from the child's father. If they were never married, then it would be listed on documents in the Child Support Case. I don't think he needs to provide health insurance for the step child, he might be able to though. Before I had insurance through my employer my husband, (my child's step father) carried insurance for all of us. I had to give his employer/insurance company a copy of my divorce decree showing the insurance arrangements. Ours states that both parties need to carry insurance if it's reasonably affordable. So since it wasn't available to me then that meant he had to carry it because he was my husband and was the one who was providing insurance for our family. I just gave them a copy and there were not any issues.

healthquotes.awardspace.info - here is my health insurance plan. As I remember they can provide such a service.
3 :
he can carry insurance on the minor child as long as you the mother is responsible to do so which in case you were never married so yes the man you are married to is legally your husband and step father so it is his right to do so i mean if the military will cover insurance for step children than no out side company should have any say so as long as your husband pays a co pay and monthly charges through the company this should not be asked of him to show proof i would take birth certificate and marriage license and say heres your proof and ask what else is needed

Isn't it in the best interests to give children proper health insurance

Isn't it in the best interests to give children proper health insurance?
I wonder if this is why our naked emperor vetoed health insurance for our children. Do you think this elitist action from the emperor will have disastrous consequences for the Republicans (in addition to the bogus "war" in Iraq, Osama Binladen/Al-Zahwiri still breathing, etc.) I'm referring to this story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071003/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_children_s_health

its not a child health plan. i love how the liberal media titles it that to make bush look worse.
2 :
He vetoed it because it included too many people who can afford insurance. Most Republicans backed the bill, and we will likely have a new revised bill. Stop reading just the headline.
3 :
Sure, Thats WHAT RESPONIBLE PARENTS DO
4 :
I hope this veto will be the straw that breaks the camels back. The day can't come soon enough when bush and the republicans like him are wiped from this planet. My blood is boiling once again and my head shaking in pity and shame from what has become of my Country.
5 :
Is it in our best interest to spend money on children without health insurance? Another important question to ask is WHY DON'T these children have insurance? Didn't JFK famously say "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?". Smart Americans will see through this legislation as a cheap attempt for Democrats to paint Bush as someone that doesn't care about children. As if $50 billion weren't enough, they request an extra $35 and allow the plan to cover children up to age 25 (anything past 18 is not a child in the eyes of the state).
6 :
He should have vetoed it from everything I've heard and read. The bill would have covered not only children, but adults too, and some of the adults covered wouldn't have even had children. I don't agree with Bush on everything, and it's very rare anymore, but I agree with him on this. A revised bill that would ONLY cover children who otherwise would not have healthcare would be acceptable to me, even though I'm for less government intervention in our lives.
7 :
Is a 30 year old person making $79,999 per year a child? under this program they would be covered, since when is it the federal governments responsibility to provide health care to anyone? That is a state issue, my guess is that this program would have directly benefited you. The only program the federal government is bound by the Constitution to provide is for the common defense.
8 :
Here's a thought: maybe people should be able to afford the children they choose to have instead of forcing the government to pay for their irresponsible choices. Why should the American taxpayer be saddled with the debt of caring for the needs of children whose parents are not willing to pay for themselves? If I choose to have more children than I can afford,it's my choice and my responsibility;if I choose to have no children and avoid the debt of raising and caring for them,should I not be able to use those saved funds as I see fit? The U.S. is not a socialist country,if this offends or disappoints you,you are free to leave.
9 :
Any American who voted for Bush in 2004 needs to pray for forgiveness as they elected an evil demon as president.
