Fruit!

Fruit is delicious! Fruit is least likely to be a problem with getting it in your diet because of how sweet they are. So why highlight fruit?

- Try a variety of fruits! Sticking to one kind of fruit can make you miss out on essential nutrients other fruits have.

- Make it a point to eat whole fruit over fruit juice. Juice can be very refreshing on a hot day, but by cutting out certain parts of the fruit you are again missing out on key nutrients. Not to mention the added sugars a lot of store bought juice has.

- Fruit is a good substitution for dessert! If you are finding yourself eating too many sweets, try substituting it with a bowl of fruit. You want to aim for sugar found naturally in foods like fruit and not processed foods.

Easy In-Door Activities With the Family!

Grab your family and do some fun activities together! 

  • Popcorn All you need is a ball and people to play with! Toss the ball up in the air then clap and try to catch the ball. Toss to the next person. After everyone has done 1 clap, try doing 2 claps, then 3 claps, etc. See how many claps you can do!
  • Up, Down, Stop, Go A great game for when you are sitting for too long. Similar to red light green light. When someone says "Up" you put your hands up, when someone says "down" you put your hands down, when someone says "Stop" you freeze, and when someone says "Go" you run in place.
  • Crazy 8s Lets get the wiggles out! Shake your right hand while counting backwards from 8, then with the left hand, then with the right foot, then with the left foot. You're going to do that again but counting backwards from 7, then 6, then 5, until you get to 1.
