Nutrition Tip of the Week
When a fruit is not a fruit: Did you know that food like cereal bars, toaster pastries and fruit
snacks do not count as a serving of fruit? They may have fruit in the name or taste similar but they
lack the fiber, vitamins and minerals of the real thing. Try having fresh, frozen or canned fruit as a
more nutritious alternative.
Physical Activity of the Week
It's easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends. Take a
10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb stairs
instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every
day.
