<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a Beachbody coach and a mother, I believe that teaching children about health is vital. And I’m not saying forcing them into healthful eating. I'm talking about teaching children WHY it’s important to eat healthily and regularly exercise. It does take a little extra time and effort, but the outcome provides a promising outlook for a healthy future.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Benefits Of Teaching Children About Health</span><br /><br /><b>Enforces Healthy Habits</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b>Teaching children about health from the beginning helps enforce healthy habits as they grow up. If they start eating a side salad at dinner every night, it will become routine for them. Hopefully, those healthy habits will continue for the rest of their lives.<br /><b><br />Produces Healthy Preferences</b><br /><br />When children eat healthfully in their youth, they often prefer the taste of whole foods over the taste of processed foods. Plus, their bodies will typically feel the toll of processed foods when they do eat them, so they will continue to recognize the value of getting proper nutrition, daily. Teaching children to eat healthy food every day can help them favor it in the future.<br /><br /><br /><b>Generates Curiosity</b><br /><br />If children start learning why they eat healthily and exercise daily, they’ll start to wonder why they would do anything else. Teaching children the reasoning behind healthy decisions can help get their minds thinking about why they do what they do. That encourages healthy, thought-out decisions. <br /><br /><br /><b>Prevents Unhealthy Futures</b><br /><br />If children are eating healthy and getting enough exercise from the beginning, there shouldn’t be a need to spend time and energy on correcting habits. Establishing healthy lifestyles can prevent things like obesity and obesity-related diseases. It can also eliminate the need for extreme health changes, which can be difficult. Because of this, teaching children about the importance of health can have a profound influence on their future.<br /><br /><br /><b>Inspires Action</b><br /><br />Teaching children the importance of health and exercise means you will be keeping them active. Being active gives children all the great benefits of exercise and fresh air. Plus, when they are running around outside, they aren’t fostering sight and posture issues by sitting and staring at a screen.<br /><br /><br />Do you agree that teaching children about health is essential? I hope so! Becoming a Beachbody coach is a great way to establish a healthy lifestyle and learn about how to incorporate health into your life, your family members' lives, and your friends' lives. <a href="https://alyssaschomaker.wufoo.com/forms/royal-republic-coach-apprenticeship-information/">Click here</a> to learn more about becoming a Beachbody coach.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Healthy greens are a great way to add a burst of nutrition to your daily eating habits. There is an array of health benefits if you are eating them regularly. Plus, there are so many types of healthy greens that it’s easy to add a quick and delicious side dish to any meal. Or, you can make a full meal using healthy greens as the primary ingredient. <br /><br /><b>Immune System</b><br /><br />Healthy greens offer a bunch of vitamins and minerals, which help boost your immune system. Vitamins A, C, and E are found in most healthy greens and add extra nutrition to any snack or meal. The antioxidants found in healthy greens are a great way to maintain and protect your health. Phytonutrients are unique to healthy greens and offer an extra bit of healing of power to fight off illness and protect your immune system.<br /><br /><b>Weight Control</b><br /><br />Because most healthy greens are low in calories, you can eat a lot of them without worrying about excessive weight gain. Most healthy greens have a high amount of fiber in them, which will keep you full and satisfied. Using healthy greens for a large portion of your meal also decreases glucose intake. Fresh, healthy greens don’t contain the sugar that is in processed foods, so it does not raise your blood glucose level or include excess sugar that can turn into fat. Plus, healthy greens contain water so they can help keep you hydrated all day long.<br /><br /><b>Improved Moods</b><br /><br />Healthy greens have so many healing and preventative properties that they can help improve mood swings. They also promote lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Plus, the fiber in healthy greens helps control sugar-induced mood swings by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream after you’re done eating. <br /><br />Some of my favorite ways to eat healthy greens are in a tasty spinach salad, with a side of roasted, spiced broccoli, or munching on fresh green peppers as a snack. But there are SO many options. I can easily switch up the type of healthy greens I’m eating, or the way I prepare them. Time to get creative! </span>

Perfect with a side of rice or salad.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.2; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></span><br />

Try combining the following ingredients in a ziploc bag. Then fork a few holes in the thawed chicken breasts, add to the bag and shake. Store in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to let the flavors sink in. Then cook as usual for great flavor.</span></span><br />
<ul><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;">
<li><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">½ cup balsamic vinegar</span></li>

That’s why making homemade baby food is a great option! All the ingredients are fresh and have no preservatives or added sugars, making it the most nutritious option for babies. </span></span></div>

It takes a little extra time to start making homemade baby food, but I highly encourage it! You can usually start incorporating baby food into the diet when your baby is around six months old, but make sure to check in with your pediatrician first.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24.6399993896484px;">A year ago almost to the day Team Beachbody  launched the now #1 home fitness program the 21 Day Fix Created by Autumn Calabrese! The 30 minute total body workouts paired with the easy to follow nutrition guide and portion controlled containers created amazing buzz and nothing short of breath taking results!  Seriously for ME personally it was the missing piece of my nutrition and fitness results.  I was eating clean, working out regularly but I was stuck at a plateau.  The portion controlled containers paired with a food list categorized by the most nutrient dense and highly recommended foods at the top and the lowest nutritional value foods at the bottom!  I began to see results, my body changed and I am walking proof along with my hundreds of fix graduates that it works!!!!  </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 1.4em !important;">I would not recommend the 21 Day Fix Extreme for a beginner.<br />
This is an advanced program.  Autumn did talk about that when she was in<br />
 Pittsburgh for our event last weekend.  So I want to make sure that you know<br />
 to do the 21 day fix FIRST before moving to this program!</span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Lets talk nutrition plan!</span></b><br />
<br />
While the 21 day fix allowed for wine and chocolate the 21 Day fix extreme does<br />
not.  It is 100% clean eating for these 21 days.  You do have the option to eat out at restaurants but you still have to follow the nutritional guidelines laid out.  Just think about it this way!  You can do anything you put your mind to for 21 days.<br />
I can say from previous experience with Insanity Max 30 that when I followed<br />
the nutrition plan to the T I really got amazing results.  I have never had abs<br />
before and they were popping out!  I really do attribute a lot of my progress to<br />
nutrition.  So make sure to take this part extremely serious.</span><br />

7 Winter Foods to Eat More of This Season

But sometimes, this can turn into eating lots of fried, high carb and high sugar foods that offer temporary relief. It’s difficult to notice the unhealthy habits until the pounds start stacking up and energy starts to decrease. Well, I’ve made a list of winter foods I like to eat, that make me feel happy and full yet are still healthy so I can stay fit and active. Start incorporating them into your meal planning for a healthy, satisfied winter!</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Winter Squash -</b> At the top of my favorite winter foods list is winter squash, so delicious! There are a variety of squash in the winter family, including butternut, acorn, and spaghetti. Squash are full of vitamins, particularly A and C, but are low in calories so you can enjoy the goodness guilt-free! I love cooking squash and eating it warm with a few spices, or adding a fresh basil pesto to spaghetti squash for a healthy version of pasta. SO good!!!</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Root Vegetables - </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another group of winter foods that I can’t get enough of is plant roots. These are vegetables that are the root of the plant, so they are pulled from underground. The most common root vegetables are carrots, parsnips, radishes, sweet potatoes and yams. They are chock full of vitamins and nutrients, not to the mention the amazing flavor! A mixed root vegetable medley is the perfect side dish for any meal, just bake with butter and spices and you’ve got one of the best side dishes made from healthy winter foods! </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">

This is one of those winter foods that is bursting with antioxidants and is a great dessert or snack option. I love opening up a pomegranate and eating it as a movie snack, it’s a huge upgrade from milk duds :) Oh, and did I mention </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/search/label/Winter%20Salad" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">winter salad</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">?</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Oatmeal - </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the reasons I love oatmeal so much is because it’s one of the most versatile winter foods. There are so many delicious ways to enjoy oatmeal, from savory to sweet, like this </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/2013/10/almond-joy-oatmeal.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">almond joy oatmeal</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">; doesn’t get much tastier than that! It is one of the best breakfast options because it’s full of fiber and vitamins, plus there’s even some protein in there to keep you full and satisfied until your next snack or meal.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Honey - </b>Well, I suppose this isn’t necessarily one of the winter foods you would enjoy on it’s own (unless you really love it) but honey is a great way to add some sweetness to your winter foods to satisfy that sweet tooth. Drizzle it over some yogurt for a sweet afternoon snack, or put it in your tea or coffee to sweeten up your morning or evening beverage. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Homemade Soups and Stews - </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The great thing about soups and stews are that you can add as little or as much to them as you want. Make a light veggie soup for a great side dish or add some ingredients like lentils and chicken for a hearty main course. Winter foods are the best when you can customize them to what you feel like eating that day!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Eggs -</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The staple breakfast ingredient is also in my favorites for winter foods. Okay, so I obviously love winter foods that are versatile and eggs are something you can enjoy in a variety of ways. A nice omelet can be as simple or extravagant as you would like, or a hard boiled egg can top a nice salad. Eggs can be whisked, scrambled, and added to a delicious sweet potato hash or served with bacon. Try these </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/2013/01/line-muffin-tin-with-slices-of-ham.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">egg and ham breakfast cups</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">for a quick on-the-go option.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>

Let’s talk about tuna. Tuna has some great nutritional benefits, so I wanted to share a few easy tuna recipes with you and explain some of the health benefits. Tuna contains omega-3 fatty acids which reduce inflammation in your body and can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Niacin is a B-vitamin found in tuna that can help with the health of the digestive system, skin and nerves. Tuna is also a source of vitamin B12, which supports the functioning of the brain and can help turn food into usable energy.</span></span></div>

One of the easy tuna recipes listed below uses canned tuna, but you can also bake and pull apart a fillet if you’d rather not use the canned. Albacore, or white tuna, contains more omega-3 vitamins but has a higher mercury level. Skipjack, or light tuna, contains less mercury so you can eat more of it. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, it is safe to eat one serving of skipjack every 3-4 days and one serving of white tuna every 9-14 days. Choose a canned tuna that has “BPA free” on the label to limit your exposure to the harmful chemical found in the linings of cans. Otherwise, stick with the fresh tuna filets to avoid the potential hazards of the mercury.</span></span></div>

It’s been coined with the term “</span><a href="https://www.upgradedself.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bulletproof coffee</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">” by Dave Asprey in conjunction with his brand of specially produced coffee and brain cognitive oil that are included in the ingredients. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many people make a similar drink without using ingredients that are the specific bulletproof brand and report similar results.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">How does it work?</span></span></h4>
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is slightly more complicated than just putting butter in your coffee. To make the coffee drink, combine 1 cup of strong coffee, 1-2 Tablespoons of butter and 1-2 Tablespoons of MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil and blend until creamy and frothy, sort of like a latte! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It appears that using unsalted grass-fed butter in your coffee is essential because it has the correct fats that actually work together to reduce body fat and is a good source of vitamin K to reduce the risk of heart disease.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is also recommended to use high quality coffee. Some people choose to use coconut oil in place of MCT oil, but there are reports that say it is less effective.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drinking this coffee beverage in the morning is supposed to teach your body to burn fat all day by producing ketones that help your body create energy from fat rather than carbohydrates. It is also said to give you a boost in energy and clarity of mind for up to six hours with minimal crashing symptoms that are typical of caffeine intake. Putting butter in your coffee is also reported to keep your hunger at bay, which is why it can replace a breakfast and has been reported to help people lose weight. The delicious flavor of the creamy coffee beverage is also a benefit!</span><br />

</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the risks that have been identified is that the coffee drink replaces a full meal, so you receive less essential nutrients into your daily diet. Putting butter in your coffee also raises the concern about taking in an excessive amount of saturated fat that has the potential to lead to an increase in cholesterol levels.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are having any health issues related to saturated fat, I would strongly suggest not trying the method of putting butter in your coffee. If you are healthy and saturated fat is not a concern of yours, I would still encourage you to do plenty of your own research before deciding if you are going to try it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The important thing is to stay healthy. Our bodies are good at reacting negatively if something isn’t working - so pay attention to how you feel!</span><br />

Have you tried putting butter in your coffee? What were your results? </span></span></div>
