Even though I more actively pursue healthy eating habits, I think my parents are right on, as well. Nutrition is a truly intriguing thing that I think we should all believe in. But, we don’t have to be crazy about it! Evidentially my parents are right, because even before I became health conscious, we’ve stayed skinny. And have you ever noticed that the people who are nuts about calories are all overweight? Something to think about. Below are the things we do to keep fit. 1. We’re anything but sedentary! We
exercise all the time. Taking a walk, doing yoga, snowshoeing and
just exercising to an exercise tape is how we stay fit in winter.
And who cares if a slim person gains a little weight over the
holidays? It will all burn off over the summer. We’re always active
during summer-who isn’t? |

Ever
since I started 4-H, I have been enthralled with health and healthy
food choices. It’s much more exciting to buy the healthier option
than the high-fat foods. In my 4-H book, it recommends we choose low
fat milk instead of whole milk. Whole milk, sadly, is my preference
and I don’t know if I could live without it. Anyway, there are many
things that I’m interested in which would reduce our fat, calorie,
and sugars, such as artificial sweeteners. My family, on the other
hand, doesn’t believe in substituting things. They believe in
abstaining from overindulgence. It’s not Splenda that makes cereal
healthy and delicious-it’s the fruit you put on top. As a young
child, I’d never fathomed that people would even consider putting
sugar on fruit. Even now I think it’s simply ridiculous. And sugar
on cereal- absurd! The sugar just dissolves in the milk.
