Healthy Living and Eating
Have you noticed that more and more the campain for healthy eating is bigger today for children, than it was ten years ago? Children are really being encouraged to live healthy lives. Ms. Obama is doing a fine job of making it top on her agenda, I must say. And if you have never seen theses ads just go to the nurses office in a NYC school and or watch the Disney Channel.
But I am convinced that most adults, are not doing half the things we teach children to do. I know I sometimes don't! But I do try... If healthy living is important for children it should be important for adults too.
Children are being encouraged to monitor their time watching television and playing video games. How long have I stayed in one spot with out moving for long times, like when watching televison or on the computer. Children are encouraged to more eat fruit and low fat milk. I sometimes love junk food. They are also encouraged to go outside and play, be active and to excersise 60 minutes a day. I may excersise twice a week, for fourty minutes.
When I look at my habits, I could do better. Smaller portions of desserts, less junk food and more excersise into my schedule- and not just when I feel up to it. It is easy to get so imbalanced with a focus on work, I forget to relax and work out. Working out is a good stress reliever. I have to remind myself to stretch, take a break and go for a walk. I want to stay fit and be healthy. So it starts now.
Just watch Dr. Oz and other Health places. Healthy bodies lead to healthy minds, emotions, and overall longevity of life!! And I am glad to see the promotion all over schools. Healthy children lead to healthy adults. Healthy living is the way of the future and I am reminded of it. I am proud that healthy living is priority for our children. And it should remain priority for adults too. Nothing at all, wrong with that!

His words are usually short but are powerful thoughts to think about and they always inspire me. And today I was encouraged to do something very small- Smile. Here are some of the qoutes he shared.
