The Lux at Medford Multicare Center for Living Embraces March as National Nutrition

FLUSHING, N.Y. - April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Medford, NY- The month of March marks the beginning of spring and is the perfect time to focus on making healthy decisions. It is critical to educate our children on the importance of forming healthy habits. Quality meals consisting of the necessary nutrients, have a direct correlation to a child’s performance both in school and out.

Most of us have experienced a stage at one point in our life when our diet consisted primarily of ‘ junk’ food. This generally starts when we are children. Unfortunately, eating unhealthily is a very hard habit to break and can very easily continue into our adult years without thinking twice about what we are putting into our bodies.

Even small changes to a child’s diet- such as replacing a candy bar with an apple- can decrease the risk of serious health issues. But of course, the end goal is to be able to cut harmful foods out of our life all together.

Starting off your day with a healthy breakfast has been proven to boost brainpower, manage weight, and improve nutrition intake. Here is a list of foods that will help you kick off your morning right:

Berries

Cold cereal made of whole grains and have low levels of sugar

Low fat cottage cheese

Eggs

Green Tea

Oatmeal

Slice of whole-grain bread

Yogurt

When most people hear the word “healthy” in association with food, they often imagine something tasteless and unenjoyable. At The Lux at Medford, we have made it a mission is to educate everyone about the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle, and how sacrificing short-term pleasure will be rewarded with long-term health and happiness.
