Treat Santa to Dulce

Replace cookies and milk with tasty sea weed!

Give Santa a body-brain boost tonight with a delicious health snack that will help him spring to his feet, and spread Christmas joy. Leave a dish of Dulce by the chimney… it’s tasty, and full of vitamin B6, iodine, Potassium and Iron. Santa will love the pan-fried, crispy snack by itself, or crumbled on pop corn or a salad. Santa’s reindeer will love it too!

Daily Physical Education Rush

Go to NFLRush.com and become an advocate… huh?

I can appreciate the NFL’s advertizing campaign through this football season, emphasizing the need for 60 minutes of childhood play and exercise every day. The ads encourage people to go to NFLrush.com and become a fitness advocate. I went to this website and was deeply disappointed. The “Kids Club Fitness Alarm” displayed poorly produced videos encouraging leg squats, side lunges, Triceps dips… as if these calisthenics are key to fitness… Whoa! The videos kept playing despite my many efforts to turn them off.

Nowhere on the site was a compelling case made for physical fitness. Nor was there a way to influence school boards to add daily physical education to the curriculum. Click on ‘Fuel Up to Play 60’ and come to the National Dairy Council’s answer to fitness… Ugh!

This Body-BrainBoogie blog has repeatedly emphasized the importance of Daily Physical Education, with many researched articles making the case. I wish the NFL would have taken time to study, then present the benefits of exercise for disease prevention and academic success.

Make the Ultimate New Year's Resolution

Wellness QUEST for YOUR BEST! Replace your mega list of resolutions with ‘one’ practical way you want to improve yourself. Spend ‘one’ week thinking about ‘one’ health goal, focused on ‘one’ person (you) that will be completed next year. Write your resolution down and post it on a wall or mirror, making it the first thing you see in the morning.

Health BENEFITS: Keeping a New Year’s resolution can pay many health dividends if you stick to it. Read the article, watch the video... then set your goal and ‘do it!’
