How do we help keep our kids healthy?

In the 2007 - 2008 school year the kids at Grace Park took a survey
about activities they like.  They listed activities that won't be a surprise
such as basketball, baseball, skating, running, jumping rope, etc.  

They like to play with their friends, jump rope, make snowmen, jump in
leaves and roller blade.

They also like to watch TV, play on the computer, play Nintendo, and
Wii.  A few surprising answers such as reading, doing math, science
and nails (as in painting nails).

Our take away from the survey was they can list lots of different
activities.  Are they doing these activities?  How does being active differ
from exercise?  And how does this impact our children's health?  And
how do we measure this?

Exercise
Healthy Eating
BMI - what is it and how is calculated?
What is the Kids Page all about?


Eat this Not That -

Wonder what is in our food.  How many calories are in onion rings?  What is the fat content of McDonalds Big Mac.  Is there a better choice?
