Keeping Children of Working Moms Fit and Healthy
Pack your bags working moms, we're going on a guilt trip. As if there's not enough blame to push on the working mother, a new report came out giving those of us in the work force another reason to feel self-conscience for bringing home some bacon. A British study found that children of working mums spent more time watching television and had poorer eating habits than their peers with stay-at-home moms.
Is Your Child a Vegetarian?
Last month PETA asked President Obama to put the National School Lunch program on a no-meat diet, saying:
Teaching our children the benefits of vegetarian meals would save animals, help stop climate change, and help keep kids at a healthy weight as well as help them avoid our nation's biggest and most costly killers — cancer, heart disease, and obesity. If promoting a vegetarian diet isn't already part of the proposed stimulus package, it should be.
No matter what your family's eating habits, I do believe it's important to teach children what vegetarianism is about and help them create a healthy and balanced diet.
Baby Wellness: They Like to Move It, Move It
Instead of drawing with crayons, I see kids busily punching their thumbs away while parents converse over dinner at restaurants. Slaves to electronic entertainment, mom and dad often welcome the distraction video games offers when they are enjoying an adult conversation or flying across the country. Sitting motionless for hours may keep the peace, but it's not doing your children any favors.
Baby Wellness: Yoga as Part of the Curriculum
Physical education is part of every school's curriculum though some are putting a new twist on the old subject. Climbing a knotted rope hanging from the gym ceiling is so passé. Having seen the benefits of meditation, relaxing and stretching, Fernback Elementary School in Atlanta is making yoga part of their students' daily routine.

Instead of Feeling Guilty For Indulging, Get Back on Track
The holidays can be pretty indulgent — decadent meals, cocktail parties, and dessert after dessert to savor. Add to that stressful gift shopping, holidays spent away for home, and workouts being replaced with entertaining and suddenly you've gotten completely off track with your health.

Do You Have Any Back-to-School Health or Fitness Goals?
Truth be told, I've been out of school for a while now, but when Labor Day rolls around, I get that back-to-school mindset.
Similar to New Year's resolutions, the start of school, even if I don't attend classes, gets me thinking about setting some new health and fitness goals. I am recommitting to brown bag lunches, just like elementary school.
If You Want to Graduate, Lose the Weight: Cool or Not?
After years of midterms, finals, and all-nighters, a group of students at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania are being told they are too fat to graduate. The private college's core curriculum states that students must have a body mass index (BMI) that falls below 30 to graduate. If not, they must take steps to lose the weight by enrolling in a physical education class that meets three times a week for one semester — a requirement that has been part of the school's curriculum for the last three years.
