Tips for Packing healthy school lunches

-


Every parent wants to send their kids off in the morning with a lunch box packed full of healthy food. When your children get home, you find half of the lunch is untouched. That puts the right nutrition down the drain. Does this sound familiar? It is no secret that when it comes to food, kids can be hard to please. So how do you make sure they eat all that “good for you stuff?
Ways to make your school lunches easier:
Try involving your kids in planning and making school lunches, this will help them build their own healthy eating habits. If they make it themselves they are more likely to eat it.
Lunch tips your kids will love:
By keeping your kitchen stocked with grab and go foods you can whip up a quick healthy lunch, for example:
 Whole grain pita wrap with chicken and veggies.
Layers of fruit with whole grain cereal.
Cheese slices with English muffin.
When it comes to healthy eating a little planning goes a long way.

What About Activity?

-
Exercising  30 minutes a day is essential. To make this easier, find an activity that you enjoy doing and why not think of it as “playing.” everything you do, whether it’s walking,playing with your pet, or washing the car, burns calories. Look for things that you will enjoy during your work out. Such as the beautiful weather, the park, or just be grateful that you can and are capable of performing a activity.  Join a gym or recreational center or walk in your local mall. If you’re  intimidated to work out in front of others, buy or rent a walking DVD,  For every excuse that you decide to come up with, there will be a way to get around it . Accept that this is what you  need to do for the rest of your life and try to work on your attitude. You can learn to love activity, or at least, appreciate what it does for your health.Since it is winter and some days it's impossible to go out side,try walking up and down the stairs.Most important is keep up your weekly exercise.

Green Tea's Antioxidants

-
Today I would like to talk about green tea, and how the benefits help with our dieting on a day to day schedule. Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis . Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants. Green’s antioxidants are dilators, because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging -- and antioxidant-rich blueberries and pomegranates do the same. Because of green tea's minimal processing -- its leaves are withered and steamed, not fermented like black and oolong teas -- green tea's unique catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are more concentrated. If you would like to find out more about green tea click on the green tea advertisement on the bottom of this page.
