Adding Value to Our Community

As I look around, I noticed how big many people are becoming in America. Some of the young people are three times as big as the young people were when I was growing up. Many have succumbed to fast food and don’t even think about going outdoors except to get into their cars.

We should get campaigns going in our communities to educate people on the importance of eating healthy and exercise. We should teach them how to prepare simple meals of fruits, vegetables, protein and whole grains and the importance of drinking lots of water. We should help to motivate them to exercise on a regular basis. We should become positive role models through example and encouragement.

School is out and now is an excellent time to get people in the community involved in programs that will help to give them a better quality of life. We can think of ways to make it fun and exciting while we help them develop a habit of eating healthy and exercise. Let’s get out and do something that will add value to the people in our communities.
