Fit and Fun: Health Tips for You and Your ChildrenGetting fit and staying fit can be a fun process. That’s true for
individuals, and it’s especially true for families.Fitness is an important topic, especially when your daily routine
involves a lot of sitting, whether at work, at school, or at home in front of a computer or TV screen.
The habits that we learn as children are often the habits we carry into adulthood. As parents, we can help our children build healthy habits and find new, fun ways to motivate ourselves and our children to get active.
Below are some ideas for getting off the couch and having some fun while getting fit:
• Take an active vacation: It’s tempting every day to think of your vacation as a time to sit and relax. But isn’t that what your body does everyday? Instead, you can plan a trip that includes hiking, biking, skiing, and other activities that the whole family can do together.
• Visit a local park: It doesn’t have to take a whole day, but you could spend a few hours playing at a park. Take a ball (football or soccer), a Frisbee, or a hacky sack, and play. You can invite some friends to join you, too. And remember: It’s not just about the kids moving around – it’s your time, too!
• Hold a block party: Call your neighbors, and block off the closest cul-de-sac for a get together that includes fun and active games. From freeze tag and relay races to hide-and-seek and kickball, there are hundreds of activities to choose from that are fun for everyone.
• Go for a hike: Find a local area where you and your family can go and hike for a few miles. Spend time outdoors, and enjoy what nature has to offer while you all get fit!
For more ideas about fun activities, visit the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance’s Web site at: www.aahperd.com.
The Goal: Be instrumental in encouraging children to develop the good habit of moving through space, nurturing their
physical power, and getting fit.For more information about healthy activities, contact your health
care provider or your Concentra health specialist. For more information on the importance of fitness for children, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web site at:

Davenport RanchTwelve Top Travel Tips When Traveling with Your PetTraveling with your pet can be fun and rewarding – especially
when you’re prepared. In addition to the pet travel “basics” (safely restraining your pet, allowing adequate time for potty breaks, bringing comforting items from home, and so on), several additional simple practices can help make every trip easier and more pleasant for both you and your pet.
1. Schedule a veterinarian visit to insure overall health and current vaccinations. Ask for a health certificate and vaccination records, especially if you’re traveling out of state.
2. Make sure your pet’s identification tags are up-to-date and legible. Also, be sure his rabies tag and vaccinations are current.
3. Include your destination address and/or phone number on your pet’s tags and cage/crate (if applicable).
4. Remember to pack water to prevent dehydration. To help insure convenient feedings bring along a collapsible food bowl.
5. Pack all medications and supplements to avoid missed doses.6. Pack a first aid kit to insure readiness in the event of an injury
or medical emergency.7. Exercise your pet prior to departure. A tired pet is typically
much more amenable to travel. Also, bring a lead or harness to allow exercise during pit stops.
8. Feed your pet at least four hours prior to departure to prevent car sickness. If the trip is long, feed a smaller amount that normal at least two hours before you leave.
9. Use a travel remedy, if necessary. If your pet is extremely anxious about travel, try a soothing non-prescription calming product.
10. Trim toenails to prevent snags and injury, especially if your pet will travel in a cage or crate.
11. Cover your car seats to keep them clean and free of hair shed on your trip.
12. Know your travel rules and restrictions, especially if you will travel on an airplane.

1. Oatmeal - Great source of soluble fiber and slow-digesting carbohydratesthat will keep blood sugar and insulin in check so fat burning can stay high.
2. Eggs - A form of well-absorbed protein, healthy fats and Vitamin D (found in the egg yolk). Eggs also contain lecithin, which promotes healthy liver function, thereby helping the body to burn fat.
3. Salmon - High in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon reduces inflammation in the body and lowers LDL and triglyceride levels while raising good HDL levels. Salmon also has a beneficial effect on leptin (hunger hormone) levels in the body, which means it helps to suppress your appetite.
4. Nuts - Another source of fiber and rich in omega-3s, these fats help to regulate blood sugar and protect the heart and the immune system.
5. Grapefruit & Berries - These fruits contain slow-digesting carbs and are rich in fat-fighting fiber. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries all are loaded with soluble fiber and antioxidants that protect blood vessels and promote healthy blood flow.
10 POWERHOUSE FOODS THAT WILL HELP YOU BURN FATMarissa Balch - CPT, Nutrition Coach -Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp
6. Avocado - It’s got fat, yes, but the good kind! The monounsaturated fats found in avocado are burned readily for fuel during exercise and actually encourage fat burning. Good source of fiber and antioxidants.
7. Leafy Greens - Broccoli, specifically, is a fibrous carb that can make you feel full quickly—one reason why it’s a great food for getting lean. Broccoli also contains phytochemicals that can help enhance fat loss.
8. Cinnamon - Helps to reduce blood sugar levels, which in turn prevents the body from storing sugar as fat. Add it to your oatmeal and yogurt to enhance flavor without adding calories.
9. Green Tea - Drink this! Not only is green tea packed with antioxidants, it also contains catechins, a phytochemical that helps speed up metabolism and burn more fat.
10. Beans & Legumes - Great sources of protein and they normalize insulin levels and help keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day. Black beans, Garbanzo beans, red beans and lentils are all great to incorporate into your diet.

Ridiculously Clever Household HintsRidiculously Clever Household Hints• The simplest way to slice a bunch of cherry tomatoes is to
sandwich them between two plastic lids and run a long knife through all of them at once!
• Keep brown sugar soft by storing with a couple of marshmallows
• Install a regular coat rack low down the wall to store shoes safely off the floor
• Organize jewelry on a corkboard for easy viewing when deciding how to accessorize an outfit
• Fill an old wooden box with skewers to make an all-purpose knife block
• Remove pet hair from furniture and carpets with a squeegee. • Cover paint trays with aluminum foil to make cleaning up
afterwards a breeze.• Flip the toaster on its side to make grilled cheese.
• Use a large muffin tin to cook stuffed peppers in the oven - it will help
keep them upright.• To prevent potatoes
from budding, add an apple to the bag.
• Add half a teaspoon of baking soda to the water when hard-boiling eggs to make the shells incredibly easy to peel off.
• Use non- s t i ck cooking spray in votive holders
to prevent wax from sticking to the sides
• WD-40 can be used to remove crayon marks from any surface!• When hanging a picture frame, put a dab of toothpaste on the
frame where you need the nails to be. Then simply press against the wall to leave marks (which can later be wiped) as guides for hammering in the nails.
• Sprinkle salt in the spaces between patio slabs and at the bottom of walls to get rid of pesky weeds(but be careful NOT to get salt near plants you want to keep as salt will kill them!)
• To clean a wooden chopping board, sprinkle on a handful of Kosher salt and rub with half a lemon. Rinse with clean water and dry to ensure it is clean and germ-free. You can use the same lemon and salt to clean brass.
• Use ice-cubes to lift out indentations made by furniture on your carpets.
• Prevent soil from escaping through the holes in the base of flowerpots by lining them with coffee filters
• To sharpen scissors, simply cut through sandpaper. • Rub a walnut on damaged wood furniture to cover up dings. • To prevent your eyes watering while chopping onions, wipe
the chopping board with white vinegar (which won’t affect the taste of the onions.)
• Drop a couple of denture cleaning tablets into the toilet bowl at night to clean stubborn stains.
• Use a can opener to open those annoying blister packs and avoid cutting yourself.
• Use a cut potato to easily remove a broken light bulb. • Use chalk to remove grease stains from clothes. Simply rub
chalk on the stained area and wash as normal. The chalk will absorb the grease and be washed away in the cycle.
• Freeze grapes to chill white wine without watering it down. • Use a rubber band to rescue a stripped screw. • Wrap rubber bands around the ends of a coat hanger to
prevent dresses from falling off.
