Exercise is a supplement! Just like the vitamins you take, exercise is the supplement to movement.

Yes you should exercise, just like you should enjoy your green juice, fruit and vegetable supplements, and omega fish oils but you should also be eating all of those things as well.

With exercise if you want to be considered active you shouldn’t just be doing your hour long workout and calling it a day. No this is your supplement to activity. Activity is what you are doing the rest of those 12 hours.

Are you moving a lot throughout the day? Do you try to go for walks, stretch your body, get your heart rate up, and move into different positions or are you sitting in the same position throughout the day?

It is time we look at exercise as an add on to our daily movement. So how can we get more movement into our day?

1. Start to stack your habits-I talk about this at length all the way back in Episode 2 called Stack your Habits. (provide ideas)
2. Go for quick walks throughout the day, doesn’t need to be far or fast, just work on moving more
3. Stop outsourcing your movement to someone else.
4. Play with your kids, go outside and throw a ball around, play at the playground with them
5. Create movement by changing your position throughout the day. For those of you working moms, its not all lost. Try changing how you sit, rotate and move your hips in your chair, slide your ribs back and forth, all of these things help to move your body into different positions to help keep the joints lubricated and the lymphatic system flowing. Move your feet, this helps too!!!!
6. Take time as a family going for an evening walk or bike ride (Ep 82: Importance of Walking After Dinner) or play an active game inside 9ep 83: Games to keep you and your family active)

Today I am speaking with Brenda an Occupational Therapist who wants to help families with meal time strategies as she understands the power struggles that can occur at meal times with little ones. Her goal is to not only help your child with eating but also with the whole experience around the meal and meal time. 

Struggling with mealtime rigidity and seeking strategies to make your child more adventurous with food? Let me share with you insights from my enlightening conversation with Brenda, a seasoned occupational therapist. We navigate the complexities of children's eating habits, from texture preferences to oral motor skills, and discuss techniques to promote a more flexible approach to mealtime.

To start off, Brenda shares wisdom about children's development and how it impacts their eating habits. She guides us through the intricacies of texture aversions and the importance of equipping children with crucial oral motor skills like proper chewing and gag reflex control. But we don't just stop at the technicalities. Brenda and I devote a chunk of our chat to creating a positive mealtime atmosphere. We delve into the importance of building trust and fun into your child's mealtime, from trusting their hunger signals to encouraging their participation in food preparation.

But it's not all talk. For those of you eager to put our advice into practice, Brenda has generously offered resources to the first 20 listeners who reach out to her. So, let's start this journey together, equipping our children with healthy eating habits that last a lifetime. Tune in and join us in this shared mission of raising healthy humans.
