Eating Right at School – Part
2
The mandate to improve school nutrition extends

how they are replacing lost revenues and how the beverage industry is
adapting.
Fitness Begins in
Preschool
Anyone who has spent time with a preschooler
knows that what he craves most is the freedom to run, leap and climb to
his heart’s content – which is why it comes as a surprise
to most parents when they hear that their preschool aged child needs exercise.
Fitness experts at local YMCAs and preschools talk about getting your
3- to 5-year-old on the right track to lifelong fitness.
