December Nutrition Nuggets
Scientist Isaac Newton was right: A body in motion tends to stay in motion! Set your child up for a lifetime of being active with these tips.
Multitask wisely. Your youngster could balance on an exercise ball or stand instead of sit at homework time. Or while folding laundry, shoot balled-up socks into drawers to score "baskets."
Opt for activity. Walk to the store or playground instead of driving. When you do take the car, park as far from the entrance as possible.
Vary the exercise. If your child plays baseball, he could swim or bike on other days. Or a gymnast might play badminton with friends on weekends. Have you visited the greenbelt lately? We have an exercise "gem" right here in our city!
Enjoy yourself. Your youngster is more likely to stay active if he's having fun. Instead of telling him to "exercise," suggest some "fun" like riding his scooter or visit a playground.
