New Health Stuff

Hello healthy eaters out there. We here at Health 4 Kidz are instituting a new program to get you more encouraged to eat healthily. We will be starting up a new point system for doing the three things we post. If you get to 1000 points you will be rewarded with a digital very spiffy looking gold medal. Ready to earn some points? Here are the 3 postings this week!



Exercise of the Week
Ok were going back to basics, this week the exercise we have will be 30 pushups! And no, there will be no “girly” style pushups, even if you are a girl. We live in an equal opportunity society, so everyone must suffer equally. To keep everyone from killing themselves, I suggest you do the pushups in 2 sets of 15, or 3 sets of 10; taking a breather between each set. Doing this will grant you whopping 40 points!

Fact of the Week
Ever have Kool-Aid before? Well the average half-gallon (1 liter) of Kool-Aid has an entire CUP of sugar in it! AHHHH! That’s a whole lot of sugar, and besides bouncing off the walls after drinking it, it’s not very healthy for you either. So instead of drinking Kool-Aid, go drink some water with lemon. Reading this nifty fact gives you 5 points! And it was soooo easy!
