 Why are rainforests important?

The plants of the rainforests provide a large part of the earth's oxygen supply, breaking down carbon dioxide to do so. Destruction of rainforests could mean increased global climate change and worsening pollution. Destruction of rainforests has already disrupted normal rain patterns in some places, such as sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in drought and famine.

Future of Fitness

Why Should Kids Exercise?  

"Aside from helping them avoid related health problems down the road, exercise benefits kids' physical and psychological health. The American Heart Association explains that physical activity in children results in improved blood pressure, bone strength and cholesterol, more stable weight, decreased risk of diabetes and cancer and improved self-esteem. By starting at a young age, children can develop the lifelong habit of regular exercise."

What to Eat?

Our goal with kids isn't to get them on the zone, but to get them to think and make good choices about what they eat. Our goal is to teach them very basic concepts, sugar is bad, protein is good and you need to eat some in every meal. Nuts and seeds are good fats. Eat them, don't avoid them. Pasta, white bread, and white rice are not that good for you, stuff that's red, yellow, green and found in the fruit and vegetable aisle is good for you. Eat a lot of it.

Look at your plate, make a fist, eat that much meat every meal; turn your hand over and fill it with nuts and seeds, eat that much good fat, fill the rest of your plate with stuff you found in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Fill your plate this way at every meal, don't eat
more.
