If you eat healthy, they will! When I started my health journey it was simply “eating right”. Now it has really become so much more than just food although it is still, I believe the base to a strong foundation. Raising a child to live by the standards that I believe prepare him for a healthy beginning was not always easy. I realize that in society today we all start our children out with things that aren’t as “healthy” as can be for them but really because of mainstream publ

Protein for Muscles Uriia Underhill, B.Sc. The best source of protein for an athlete would be the type food that would help his body runs to the best of its ability. Proteins are a very important part of every meal. It seems a good suggestion is each meal have a recommended amount of lean meat, seafood, a good supplement of good fat and balanced with a healthy portion of veggies and fruits. Protein in the human body is continuously broke down meaning that an athletes need for

Need a Quick Fix? Uriia Underhill, B.Sc It seems most of the carbohydrates mentioned for pre workout fuels are things such as ready to eat bars, oatmeal, and supplementing with easy sports drinks. While these forms of carbohydrates might make for a quick fix, it seems we have gotten away from the fact that the truest forms of vitamins and minerals come from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Building Relationships with Food Uriia Underhill, B.Sc. Does your relationship with food directly affect your children? The article “A Review of Family Meal Influence” mentioned that eating dinner as family with at least one adult present may have a good impact on a child’s eating perspective. While I think this concept holds true to a certain degree the fact that the family may eat only package “helper” type meals will not give the child a proper understanding of fueling the
