Let’s face it, it’s tricky to keep the family healthy ALL the time. We are constantly trying to stay on top of good health whether it’s running around outside, riding bikes or walking through Disneyland…often 🙂 There’s no secret, it’s a challenge, but we try to have fresh fruit and vegetables on hand so we can eat as much as possible. It’s nice when there is so much goodness packed into orange juice like Tropicana, I know my kids are getting their fruit serving just by drinking a big glass of juice!

Other than the usual exercise and trying to eat well, we eat a small salad packed with veggies right before dinner every night. It helps fill us up, and we get a hefty dose of veggies.
We very rarely eat out. Lots of homemade meals make for good nutrition and good savings!
We have lots of activities outside, working wi farm animals and pets…always something to do…drink lots of spring water, juices, and milk…we have access to plenty of fresh fruits and veggies grown in our area..
We eat organic, fresh foods and exercise as a family three times a week.

We don’t eat out much. I think that helps because I can control fat, sodium, etc.
I keep lots of fruits and veggies on hand for quick snacking and buy organic and much as possible. I also grind my own wheat for the healthiest whole wheat flour when baking.

My hubby and I make sure to get a lot of fruits (he drinks juice in the morn!) and vegetables. It is all about portion sizes really. We need to see more green and color on our plate than meat.

To stay healthy, my husband and I eat fruits and vegetables everyday- mostly grapefruits and salads, and exercise together at the gym! 🙂

We all take a daily multivitamin. We also keep Emergen-C and Zinc on hand for when we start feeling a little under the weather to try to beat it.
It is so hard, but I try to limit the amount of sweets we have in the house. I have a sweet tooth though so I’m not always perfect, but every little bit helps.
I try to buy organic whenever possible.
We try to exercise and eat healthily!
Try to make dinner at home as much as possible and drink lots of water.
I live far away from my family, but I cook balanced meals with my roommates and we run and go to the gym several times a week.
We pack our lunches every day – including an apple and a banana!
We exercise, cook at home with real foods avoiding processed junk and eating out as much as possible!
I buy fresher ingredients and try to keep them tasting fresh by not overdoing the “fixins” 🙂
I try to always include a fruit or veggie into our meals.
We use the Netti Pot nasal rinse to keep our sinuses in check….Love it!
