GET ACTIVE TIP OF THE WEEK
Getting outside isn’t just a great way to get exercise, it’s also a lot of fun! Find affordable physical activities that will bring the whole family together and start enjoying the great outdoors.EAT HEALTHY TIP OF THE WEEK
Fruits provide vital nutrients and are high in fiber, providing a filling snack for fewer calories. Incorporate more fruit into your families’ diet by keeping it in sight. Try keeping a bowl of whole fruit out on the countertop or a table as a snack (make sure it’s low enough for younger kids to grab some!), or experiment with fruit by adding it to salads. You may find that eating more fruit is not only good for your health but delicious, too!BLOG HIGHLIGHTS
