Eating More Veggies

Here is a great way to get you and your kids to eat more vegetables... HIDE THEM!! No kidding. Researchers served familiar foods to 39 children aged 3-6 but with a catch: they modified the recipes. The foods - zucchini bread, pasta with tomato-based sauce and chicken noodle casserole - enhanced with broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes and squash. The vegetable substitutions lowered the calorie count of the foods. The kids rated "Yummy", "OK" or "Yucky" and 70% of them said "ok" or "yummy." I bet if they were given a side of steamed zucchini instead the vote would have been "YUCK." Mommies keep adding in those healthy foods.

The Triangle Pose

Do you remember the Triangle Pose? Triangles are the most stable of the geometric shapes. The triangle pose teaches us to be strong, to build a foundation of support and to relax under pressure. Triangles have three sides and three angles - just like we have three aspects: mind, body and spirit. Practice the Triangle Pose this week!
