Throughout the years, I have been asked what is the scope of people I would like to work with or serve. I answer: it is health and fitness, so my scope is broad and encompasses kids to older adults, the novice to the highly-skilled, non-athlete to athlete. So, in this section is an ode to kids and their health and fitness.
Kids supposedly have trouble eating their vegetables. We have been battling this issue for years, and we still cannot get it done? "Experts" now have issued changing the name of vegetables to include more pizazz. Welcome in power punch broccoli.
Why does broccoli always get a bad rep? It even goes well with every other food group. What a versatile vegetable. On a side note, have you ever notice how mountains that are green foliage-dense look like broccoli? It's OK if you have not. But, denouncing vegetables at an early age gets everyone into trouble, especially once college comes in to play. By observation, one of the least refilled areas of the dinning commons included any vegetable area (i.e., salad bar or hot food). Of course, young coeds piled their plates with the "good stuff" such as pizza, pasta, and bread. Oh my! Do not judge me... I like pizza, pasta, and bread; but not all at once on many close occasions. We will see more of these nutrition confessions in an immediate HAHPN e-newsletter. First, we must confess and own up to eating right. We must also assist the next generation in eating right. Let's Move, Michelle Obama's health initiative is doing a good job in getting school-aged kids to eat better and take better care of their bodies. In addition, kids should, and it is believed, that they are learning more about their bodies.
It is important to have knowledge of body and a versatile response to receiving good vittles!
Progressing,
Derek
