Healthy Tips from the Tri-Town YMCA

ymcaOutdoor Fun
T
he Great Outdoors is not only fun but helps strengthen overall health and well-being. Besides helping reach the daily 60 minutes of moderate-tovigorous activity, we can provide an opportunity to reduce stress and support emotional well-being. Within minutes of seeing green spaces, stress levels fall and by providing the opportunity for kids to be “free rangewe can help reduce anxiety and depression associated with busy schedules and lack of unstructured time.

HE- Healthy Eating Tip
Help kids feel cool as a cucumber with fun frozen fruits and veggies to snack on or to add to water instead of ice cubes. Purchase fresh or frozen and serve as needed. Remember produce is cheaper when in it’s in season so if you have extra space, bulk up and freeze for a later date. Try frozen blueberries, or grapes.
