A message from the NJAHPERD JRFH/HFH Coordinator...
Hello all Jump and Hoops Coordinators,
Hopefully you have all registered for the NJAHPERD Convention and also for the Coordinators Breakfast.
The convention is a wonderful event and a chance for me to meet all of you, as well.
I am sure that many of you are getting ready for your kick-off and some of you may be attempting your first Jump or Hoops event. If you need any assistance please reach out to my email below and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Good Luck and see you in February,
Mickey S. Fox

Did you know that just like the color of our eyes or how tall we are, other things like health conditions can be passed down genetically from one family member to another? It is important to know what health conditions and diseases are in our family history so that we can make healthy choices to help reduce our risk for getting those conditions ourselves.
Read these facts about family conditions and then fill out the My Family Health Tree to find out which conditions are in your family. Afterward, complete the My Healthy Habits Check List

Hey Kids, Learn about blood sugar and diabetes
Children and teens need to watch what they eat for a lot of reasons. One of them is that a healthy diet can help prevent diabetes, a dangerous disease that increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Your digestive system breaks down foods and beverages that contain carbohydrates - like grains, fruits and vegetables - down into sugar. Certain foods, like whole grains, many fruits and vegetables and other high-fiber foods, take longer to digest. This helps keep the amount of sugar in your blood from going too high. But refined grains, potatoes and foods high in added sugar are digested fast and are quickly delivered into the bloodstream as sugar. If your blood sugar goes high too often, it can overwork your body's ability to keep your blood sugar in healthy ranges, and you're more likely to develop diabetes .MORE |
