Believe it or not, most American children anymore are not in shape. 30 years ago, long before cell phones, wii's, nintendo, computers and I-Pods, we actually went outside to play most of the time when the weather permitted. So we as children, for the most part, stayed in shape. Exceptions to everything of course.
Since it's not likely that children are apt to get back into that mode, since the current generation usually hasn't learned it, one way to help is to get them the first fitness game for the Wii, called Nikelodeon Fit. Amazon ranks this at 137 in video games. And it does help keep them in shape. If your kids like to dance, this might be another method of getting their weight off and toning their muscles.

The scoop on blueberries
Actually, there is a bit more than just this small amount of information here to endorse eating this great fruit. Perhaps another time though. No point in making anyone read for 3 hours!
“USDA and Rutgers University scientists teamed up to grow and study the Bluecrop variety of highbush blueberries on five organic and conventional farms in New Jersey.
The farms had comparable soils and weather conditions, and the same harvesting methods were used. Consistent and significant differences in nutrient content were discovered by the researchers.
The organic blueberries had 46 units of total antioxidant capacity while the conventional berries contained 31. The organic blueberries therefore had over 50 percent more total antioxidant activity. Also, ‘blueberries produced from organic culture contained significantly higher amounts of phytonutrients than those produced from conventional culture,’ stated the report’s authors.
The study, ‘Fruit Quality, Antioxidant Capacity, and Flavonoid Content of Organically and Conventionally Grown Blueberries’, by S.H. Wang, et al., appeared in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.”

Great reasons to eat your fruit. Besides that, blueberries taste very good. At least, I believe so. You can find blueberry powder here if you'd like to have some. You can find numerous research studies online showing the difference between organically grown and commercially grown produce. That information may just shock you, when you realize the commercially grown produce has very little nutrient value, when compared to organic. If you have to ask why this should make a difference, we need to talk.
