Eating behaviors are a constant stress for parents regarding their children and them selves!!
How many people do you know that have emotional eating issues? How many children eat together with parents who model effective eating habits? How many children are involved in the whole meal process so as to appreciate the food itself.
Ancient cultures lived and died with food availability. They felt a different bond with the nourishing qualities of food. Today we eat food often purely for taste and not its benefit to us. With companies promoting salt,sugar and fat, we are lost with over indulged taste buds and lost constitutions of moderation and respect for food.
Here are some ideas to promote a new healthy childhood bond with food.
#1-10) Do not reward illness, emotional stress or great success with unhealthy food. It promotes a belief in the child that these foods are necessary and useful during these positive and negative stressful times. Think of the teenage girl who eats a gallon of ice cream when she breaks up with her boyfriend because as a kid ice cream was given to make her feel better.
11) Have your children prepare an entire meal with you 2 times a month. Take them shopping. Have them watch and help (age appropriate) clean and prepare food. Have them stir and dish out the food.
12) Take them to a local farm to meet the farmer and his/her animals and land.
13) Teach them to read labels about nutritional content.
14) Eat together as a family as often as possible.
15) Do not eat off of the child menu at restaurants (mostly junk). Have them eat regular food just like mom and dad.
My take home point today: Relearning how to eat to live!
Loving the local farms,

Hippocrates

Hippocrates said walking is mans' best medicine. Pharmaceutical companies would have us believe it is the Pharmacy. Dr. Mike Evans gives a lecture called "23 1/2 hours- What You Can Do For Your Health". In it he explains why exercise is the most important modality for wellness. At the end he makes one simple request......
Can you limit your sitting and sleeping to 23 1/2 hours per day?
The excellent book Blue Zones lists exercise as a key component to longevity.

All the best,

The McKinney Academy Wellness Committee is pleased to present FOOD, INC. A 2008 American documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner. FOOD INC. lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing how our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. Food, Inc. reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it's produced and who we have become as a nation. A discussion panel will be held immediately after the viewing and is free to the public.
"T." McLeod will be our featured speaker on Thursday!
"T." McLeod has a lifetime of knowledge on the land of North Carolina and remains an unbelievable asset to our community. He has made a valiant effort to live sustainably and helps others on their own sustainable living journeys. He is a small organic grower with a laying flock of free range organically fed hens and oversees a flock of sheep at Edgewood Farms. Following a passion to connect people to the land he operates McLeod Organics "Soil for the Soul" located at the Bradford Store in Huntersville, NC.
