Want Your Kids to Eat their Veggies? Don’t Force Them, Study Says
We are all familiar with, at times, the never ending battle to get our kids to consistently eat their vegetables. Although your first instinct might be to use pressure to get your children to eat their vegetables, perhaps even threatening discipline as a consequence of not doing so, a new study reports that you may be doing more harm than good.
The study, conducted at England’s Loughborough University, located in Leicestershire, indicated that parents who urge their children to eat a certain type of food greatly reduce their chances of their kids actually doing so.
The study included a population of 104 mothers, all with children between the ages of 3 and 6. The parents answered a series of questions regarding their children’s eating habits.
Once all of the questionnaires were completed by the parents, the responses were then gathered and compiled. Thereafter, the results were clinically analyzed to determine the results and conclusions of the study.

5 Awesome Foods to Build Muscle
In general, most individuals that regularly strength train are looking to either significantly increase their muscle size and density or, at the very least, proportionally tone and sculpt the various muscles of their body.
There are three primary functions that contribute to increasing quality lean muscle tissue: regularly and consistently performing the strength training workouts, consuming nutritionally rich whole foods that are well balanced in terms of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and ensuring that your body receives plenty of sleep.
The intent of this article is to discuss 5 foods that are ideal for supporting muscle growth and development. After every weight lifting session, you should be thinking about consuming high quality carbohydrates, not just protein.
In addition to restoring glycogen levels in the muscle tissue that was lost performing the exercise routine, the carbohydrates will also provide a healthy boost to your insulin, the hormone that acts as a vehicle to bring amino acids directly to your muscles.

Linda M. Oude Griep, a fellow of human health and nutrition at the aforementioned university and the study’s lead author, concluded that making it a point to eat one apple each day is indeed a health-positive decision when it comes to preventing a variety of heart related diseases, especially strokes.

6 Exercise and Eating Myths
Engaging in regular physical fitness activities leads to a vast array of health and fitness benefits, including a more well sculpted physique, increased physical strength, a lower percentage of body fat, improved cardiovascular endurance and stamina, increased levels of mental concentration – the list is virtually endless.
However, exercise can have negative consequences as well. For example, some individuals feel that by regularly performing an exercise routine that they, in essence, have a license to ignore the basics associated with consuming a solid dietary intake regimen that is focused on nutritionally rich whole foods. In fact, in some case, they overestimate the calories burned during their workout, and overcompensate by eating rich, fatty, sugary foods that they’d normally avoid on rest days.
