Kamada, 102 year old woman from Okinawa, "Beauty is within. It comes from not worrying so much about your own problems. Sometimes you can best take care of yourself by taking care of others. "Eat your vegetables, have a positive outlook, be kind to people, and smile."

Today I had the opportunity to be the guest storyteller in Mrs. Schnell's third grade classroom at my old school!! I read aloud one of my childhood books, The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food.
We talked about what healthy food is and what we should use to "fuel" our bodies! They were very active participants and had some great answers to my all my questions! We even did a few short BURST exercises and discussed exercise and sleep. Then we created collages of healthy foods and other things we talked about! I have my BA in elementary education so this was right up my alley! Start teaching your children about health now so they grow up living a healthy lifestyle! As you know our habits develop at a young age. Be sure to set the example! Here are a few photos of their collages.
