Facts About The Kiwi Fruit! 🥝
Kiwis are small fruits that pack a lot of flavor and plenty of health benefits. Their green flesh is sweet and tangy. It’s also full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium. They also have a lot of antioxidants and are a good source of fiber. Their small black seeds are edible, as is the fuzzy brown peel, though many prefer to peel the kiwi before eating it.
Thanks to different growing locations, kiwis can be in season year-round. They’re grown in California from November to May, and in New Zealand from June to October. Kiwi can also be found in supplement form!
How to Help Your Family Get More Active!
Encouraging kids to get physically active at an early age with family participation and support is a way to guide them toward a lifetime of health and well-being. Families that play together, have fun together – and get in shape in the process. The most cherished memories in life are of doing what you love together with who you love.
We often hear about the benefits of exercise in terms of extending your life, but just as important is the quality of that time exercise can provide (for children of all ages) as a special activity families can do together. Without stress, without pressure, without expectations of anything but getting together to move around and have some fun.

10 SURPRISING Facts About Blueberries!!
1. One large handful (1/2 a cup) of juicy blueberries contains just 44 calories but has 2 grams of dietary fiber and 10% of your daily recommended vitamin C content.
2. Blueberries ranked number one in antioxidant health benefits in a comparison with more than 40 fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Blueberry is one of the only foods that are truly naturally blue in color. The pigment that gives blueberries their distinctive color—called anthocyanin—is the same compound that provides the blueberry’s amazing health benefits.
4. People have been eating blueberries for more than 13,000 years.
5. The blueberry (genus Vaccinium) is one of the only commercially-available fruits that are native to North America.
6. Blueberries were called “star-fruits” by North American indigenous peoples because of the five-pointed star shape that is formed at the blossom end of the berry.
7. A single blueberry bush can produce as many as 6,000 blueberries per year.
8. British Columbia is the largest highbush blueberry growing region in the world. As a country, Canada ranks third behind the US and Chile. Blueberries are Canada’s most exported fruit.
9. The silvery sheen (or “bloom”) found on the skin of blueberries is a naturally occurring compound that helps protect the fruit. This way you should only wash blueberries right before you’re going to eat them. The berries should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep fresh for up to 10 days.
10. Consumption of blueberries has been linked to health benefits including a reduced risk of cancer, increased insulin response, a reversal in age-related memory loss, and lowering blood pressure.
Eating at the same time every day not only reduces hunger-induced crabbiness but also eliminates snacking between meals. Mealtime is a good way to introduce good eating habits. Make sure that your children are eating a healthy breakfast every day. Breakfast is important for every member of your family as it improves your concentration, strength, endurance, and performance. It can even lower your cholesterol and round out a healthy diet by adding in vitamins and minerals you might not get during the rest of the day.
