Snacks are a great way to refuel.
Choose snacks from different food groups—a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking
The difference between whole grain bread and white bread is more than the color.
Whole grain bread uses flour made from the entire grain seed and contains more vitamins and minerals. White bread is made from refined white flour.
Getting your exercise in for the day doesn't always require you to sweat it up for 60 minutes at a time.
It is recommended that kids get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. But you dont have to do it all at once. Try splitting your exercise time up during the day. Do some basic exercises like crunches before school, play hard at recess, and do something active after school.
Playing in the sun gives you exercise and vitamins.
Not only is getting up and playing outside a good way to burn calories, but your body also gets Vitamin D from the sun.
