We interviewed our Physical Education teacher and asked a few questions. He said, “You have to want to eat healthy. It’s easier than people think.” He also gave us some good snack suggestions. He suggested homemade trail mix, including some assorted nuts and dried berries. He also suggested homemade turkey roll-ups. He said that fruits and veggies are important, as well as protein.
Our P.E. teacher also advised, “Kids should eat healthy snacks because healthier snacks give kids more healthy energy than fattier snacks.” We asked him, “What would be the best time of day to eat a healthy snack?” He responded, “All day would be best. Especially before breakfast, or sometime early in the day." Relating to the previous question, we asked, “When should kids should eat a healthy snack, after exercising, or before?” He responded, “Both. Before would be good to fuel them through the exercise session, and after would be good to give the energy back that they lost while exercising.”
We also asked our P.E teacher, “What should be in a healthy snack recipe?“ He said, “There should be something from each of the food groups. A lot of fruits and veggies should be included. Another thing that should be included is protein.” Protein is in a lot of stuff like meat and nuts, and berries, and so much more. Protein is very good for your body, it ‘sticks to your ribs’ more than other types of food, meaning that you will be full for longer, and won’t get hungry sooner.
Our P.E teacher said that people must make health a priority. The more healthy you eat, the more healthy you will crave. Don’t think healthy food is gross-tasting food, make healthy snacks that you will enjoy, but that are still beneficial for your health. It isn’t hard to eat healthy, but it can really enhance your life. In addition to eating healthy, it would be excellent to do at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. You will be surprised at how much healthier you have become.
Stay healthy and safe!
