Baby Workout!




Did you know that exercise keeps your mind sharp?


A recent study from the National Institutes of Health found that
the most sedentary individuals (i.e. couch potatoes) are 2.5 times more likely
to develop dementia than regular exercisers. Dementia is a condition of
declining mental abilities (especially memory) that affects your personality,
skills (like driving a car), and verbal abilities.



Solution?: Stay on a consistent exercise program throughout your
lifespan. Try not to view exercise as a temporary means to and end such as
weight loss. It is part of a healthy lifestyle, and while it does help you lose
and maintain weight, it can ward off plenty of health problems, from heart
disease to depression.
And...



Exercise also helps your kids concentrate better in school and sets
the foundation for healthy habits that will help them prevent future health
problems as well.
