Even at an early age, this little cutie knows how to pick a delicious and healthy snack!  Looks like he loves his NuGo Nutrition Orange Smoothie!

With both working Moms and Dads in households, is there time for dinner?  There should be! Families should be able to sit down to a homecooked meal more often than they do.  The meal doesn’t have to take too much time or be gourmet, but it should include everyone and be without the TV.  I guess this is a really hard request for most. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20090909/home-cooked-meals-put-on-the-backburner?src=RSS_PUBLIC says this is rare.  Healthy meals instead of fast food or frozen dinners can provide more nutrition and better eating habits.  Also, making more time for your family at dinner without the television can provide more time for talking and learning about each person’s day.  Quick meals can be found all over the internet, including at http://www.foodnetwork.com/quick-and-easy/index.html .  Need a healthy snack?  Try a NuGo Nutrition or Protein bar with an apple in between meals.

With Americans’ average weight continuing to grow, we must be more and more careful about the amount of things we put into our mouths.  When talking to a co-worker yesterday I realized that people might be losing track of portion sizes because they are never followed.  I know a cup of coffee is 6 oz.  He told me this was impossible and it had to be at least 8.  Tell me the last time anyone drank just 6oz of coffee?

Fatty Foods affect not only exercise but also MEMORY http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/13/fatty-foods-affect-memory-and-exercise/ .  We hear everyday we need to be eating healthier.  Eating healthier and having an active lifestyle makes your body and mind feel better.  I always thought it was a mental thing because your body feels good and you sleep better causing your mind to feel refreshed.  This new research on rats and people showed it is more than just that.  High fat diets changed the memory of rats in just 4 days!  Humans did not take much longer.  I guess our moms’ were always right when they told us to eat our vegetables!
