GO NUTS ABOUT NUTS
If you are like most people, you probably love nuts. Recent medical research suggests that Almonds, especially raw and skin on in their most natural state, not only make a nutritious snack, but can also help support a healthy heart by reducing the risk of heart attacks by up to 50% . Just remember though that all nuts are very nutrient dense in calories, so a handful at a time PLEASE!

EXERCISE OF THE DAY
Crunches with Swiss Ball
Starting Position: Begin by sitting on top of the Swiss ball. Roll in the direction your head is pointed until your lower back is supported by the curve of the ball. You can either cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your ears. Do not put them behind the head or clasp them together behind your head.
EXHALE: Crunch forward, using your abdominals, until you are at approximately a 45 degree angle to the ball. Keep you neck in a neutral position.
INHALE: Lower yourself back to the starting position, where your head wraps back around the ball. Try doing 2 sets of 15 crunches.
Special Instructions: Keep space in-between your chin and chest, so your spine stays in a neutral position. Balance yourself on the ball with as much upper body weight off the ball as possible without falling over backwards.
Muscles Worked: Abs Time
Involved: 3 minutes Body
Benefit: Strong abs, less back pain

THERE WATCHING
Kids learn from watching you.
Eat badly and they will follow
Eat fruits and veggies and they will too.
Show your kids how to make healthy choices when you are on the run. Put fresh fruit in a bag for a quick snack instead of candy, or chips.
While shopping, allow children to help pick out fruit and veggies with you.
When eating fruits and vegetables try to leave the skin on whenever possible.
This is where fiber and nutrients are found.

Crisp fruits and vegetables act as cleaners when you chew them; they have a natural cleansing action that works on tooth enamel to remove stains. In particular, "apples have a gentle malic acid that also helps dissolve stains,"

Water, water, everywhere and we should be drinking plenty of it! Why you ask? Well let’s see, our bodies are made up of 55% to 65% water, but it needs your help to enter the body. Water helps keep our bodies stay the correct temperature. It helps our bodies use nutrients and transports waste away. It helps the muscles function and our heart tick! These are just a few of the many reasons why this clear liquid is needed. So, what I’m saying is OUR BODIES HAVE TO HAVE WATER!Oh another thing… did I mention after a couple of days without water you will cease to exist?Did you know your brain is made up of 75% water? The blood in your body has over 80% water and your lungs are a whopping 90%. Somehow we think we can do without it! Many of us go entire days without drinking one glass of water and instead suck down liquids that actually dehydrate the body! Some also think water fills you up and causes you to retain fluid, but that is incorrect! Water actually helps reduce weight. It makes your metabolism work faster and cleans your body of unneeded waste.
Hydration doesn’t always come from the water we drink it can also come from other quality forms such as milk,100% juice, fresh fruits, and veggies! You see the hydration of your body is important and in my estimate over 80% of us don’t reach the bar we need! So come on drink, drink, drink! I know you have heard the saying drink milk it does the body good, but I say drink water it does the body great.

EXERCISE OF THE DAY
The Bird Dog is a floor exercise for strengthening the core region that includes the abdominal muscles,lower back,bottom,and thighs.
It's not difficult to do and it is a good beginner exercise for the abs and lower back. Here's how it's done.
1. Kneel on the floor with hands firmly placed about shoulder width apart.
2. Brace the abdominals, and at first, practice lifting one hand and the opposite knee just clear of the floor while balancing on the other hand and knee. Half an inch will do until you get the idea of it.
3. When you're ready to do the complete exercise, point the arm out straight in front and extend the opposite leg to the rear.
4. Hold for 10 seconds then return to hands and knees on ground position.
5. Starting out, try 5 repeats on alternate hands and knees -- 10 repetitions in all. Add additional sets of 10 exercises up to 3 sets of 10.
Good Luck
