Feeling Healthy Song!

Some of our friends talked again with nutritionist Brian and he gave us a lot of great tips but one great tip that he gave us was to sing a happy song at least once a day.  He said this will help you be healthy!   

You can sing ANY song but some examples we like are:  

I you are happy and you know it clap your hands...

          row row row your boat  gently down the steam ...

          twinkle twinkle little star how i wonder what you are...

Remember being happy is part of being healthy!

Fruits and Veggies!

Hello, I have some information for you today about fruits and veggies!  Fruits and veggies are not only healthy for you and you body, but they are important too because your body needs nutrients and veggies give your body that.  I know we are talking about fruits and veggies but I want to tell you about vitamins also.  Fruits and veggies are good for you and so are vitamins and they both help you get fit.  Eating lots of fruits and veggies gives your body vitamins!  You can also take a daily vitamin.  

Now I will tell you some fruits and veggies that are good for you:

• fresh berries - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, goji berries
• frozen berries
• carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, onions, beets
• leafy greens - kale, collards, chards, arugula, spinach, bok choy, broccoli rabe

Below is the web sight that shows you the two most fresh fruit and veggies that you should eat different seasons and months. The best fruits and veggies to eat this month, May, are potatoes and limes. Be sure to try them while they're fresh this month!
