America's Nutrition Expert Cooks and Dishes

Sodas, juice drinks, cookies, hotdogs, and chips- all common school lunch components but none healthy. Over the past years, some schools have improved the nutritional quality of their lunches but it is an area that desperately needs more attention by both schools and parents. What’s scary is that the obesity rate of young kids to teens is significantly rising and poor lunch options aren’t making things any better. Over 1/3 of our nation’s youth are either overweight or obese. Poor food choices and a lack of physical activity are contributors to this epidemic. For starters, making sure that they have a healthy and adequate lunch will put them on the right track. If your kids are taking lunches from home try to limit the highly processed snacks and give them more fresh food items like fruits and vegetables.

The time we synthesize our Vitamin D via UV rays. However, if you fall into a high-risk category, then you are most likely Vitamin D deficient or insufficient. What puts you at high risk? If you are elderly, never see the sunlight because you are always busy working inside, you are darker skinned (acts as a natural sunscreen), or if you ALWAYS use sunscreen, then you are at a higher risk for Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. In Ohio, individuals can only synthesize Vitamin D during certain months when the UV rays are strong enough so Ohioans are already behind when it comes to that “sun” ball. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is potentially toxic at high doses.

Some health benefits of adequate Vitamin D include weight management, cancer prevention (certain cancer sites), lower blood pressure, and prevention of some autoimmune disorders.

It is time for the resolution speech. Even though the whole “lose weight” and “get in shape” thing is my business, I am not really into resolutions since most people set themselves up for failure. It is hard to watch folks fail but more importantly, I do not understand why we all set these big goals January 1, ultimately not achieve our goals and then beat ourselves up when it doesn’t work out… It just seems like every year it never works out – so why do it?

Why not just set ourselves up for success? Why not get to root of why things are not working? I have been thinking about this a lot, talking to colleagues and experimenting with what will work and I am thinking it really comes down to sorting things into buckets.
