super size me

It was a normal weekend with the kids and I just having fun as we always do. I wanted to do something creative to inspire good health to the kids but did not want to lecture them.

So I decided to start things off with a movie to give me little assistance in teaching them why I was not taking them on our regular fast food trip to Clown Land.

I decided to show the kids a movie by John Banzhaf titled Super Size Me which shows a guy who experiments with eating only McDonalds for 30 days.

I do have to warn you guys that there is a few scenes with a little adult language.

I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone who has not seen it yet but it shows some serious side effects and intelligently explains why medically fast food is poison.

After the movie the kids mouth was open and they where to happy to assist me in making stir fry with extra veggies for dinner. (LOL) This summer I will try to do more fun things like walks in the park and swimming and introduce the gym as an activity instead of a chore.


If you can’t think of anything fun to do with your kids then here are a few things on my list. 

1. Nerf Basketball – This one is kind of simple and can be done at home.

If you want to see kids doing something that burns calories besides playing video games.

2. Go out for a bike ride and make a day out of it.

There is a great place called the park that so many people forget about.

It is fun and good family time and best of all it is FREE!

3. Go for a swim! If you want to have a good workout with the kids take them swimming! Make it fun with games like racing to see who can swim to the end of the pool and back first.

4. Make them fruit smoothies. That is right fruit smoothies are a healthy alternative to the unhealthy chocolate shakes and there are thousands of recipes out for you and your family to try.

So you see there are plenty of constructive ways to enjoy good health practices with your family. What are some of the things you guys do to promote good health with your family and friends?
