Eating healthy foods to fuel your body is important.  Try a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins.  You can learn more about nutrition and healthy eating by visiting EatRight.org

Physical activity is another way to achieve optimal health. Exercise can be fun. Try bike riding, playing a game with your family, or going to the park with friends. It is recommended that children get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. To learn more, go to Healthy.Children.org
