Recently Manley sent me a copy of Battle with the Bugs, the second audio story and workbook in the series of Human Body Detectives. Each story takes Marrin and Pearl, characters based upon and voiced by Manley’s daughters, on health mysteries where they are magically transported into the body on an adventure.

With each audio CD comes a workbook full of crosswords, games, puzzles, jokes and stickers. My children immediately gravitated toward the stickers and colouring pages, while I had to gaffaw a few times at the corny jokes.  For example:

• “What do you call a germ who wants to have a good time? A FunGi (a fun guy)“
• “What did the left eye say to the right eye? Between us something smells.” 

I was most impressed that Manley didn’t simplify terminology (how many children’s books do you know that use the word ‘macrophage?’), but provided real information in a kid friendly manner. And don’t be surprised if the adults in the room also learn a thing or two about how the body works. Here is a teaser of the book for your enjoyment.

If you are looking for a fun, creative resource where children are teaching children in an engaging way, you’ll want to get your hands on these great books. They can be found at Human Body Detectives and on Amazon.

I can’t wait for the release of The Heart Pumping Adventure, Marrin and Pearl’s third adventure into the human body, due out this spring.

It started when they were very young and I’d ask them to stir jello, make play-dough, or dump measured ingredients into the bowl to make muffins or cookies. These days we have assigned evenings where they are the designated ‘sous-chef’ and get to help with dinner doing everything from setting the table and pouring the water, to chopping the vegetables and puréeing the cheese and broccoli soup. A favourite activity when friends come over is to create something delectable to eat which is often inspired by the Food Network (one of my kids favourite TV channels) or by a kids cooking recipe book currently on loan from the library. This spring my son has graduated to the BBQ where he recently grilled up honey mustard chicken breast to perfection.

Yes, having my children in the kitchen requires effort and organization. Like most tasks, it would be easier if I simply did it myself. However, I’d definitely be denying them, and myself, many wonderful memories and numerous life skills. My job is to ensure that my children have all the tools necessary to live as engaged and accomplished adults. I see teaching them how to cook everything from Caesar Salad to Crock Pot Stew as part of that responsibility.

And from a yoga point of view, I’m striving to teach them good nutrition and to establish a positive relationship with food. When helping in the kitchen, kids interact with their food on a totally different level. By taking the raw ingredients, discussing basic nutrition requirements, and learning how to combine different flavours to create wonderful dishes, children take charge of what they are putting on the table and into their bodies.

What Kids Learn When Cooking

Involving kids in the kitchen develops a host of skills. These include:

• Following directions – reading and following a recipe
• Basic arithmetic – measuring ingredients or doubling (tripling for cookies) a recipe
• Vocabulary enrichment – ingredients, tools, and directions all provide new and interesting vocabulary
• Sensory stimulation – tastes, textures, and smells in great variety come from the kitchen
• Cause and effect – leave out one ingredient and see what happens
• Cooperation – working together and waiting their turn
• Sanitation – cleanliness and safe food handling skills come with the territory
• Confidence – empower kids with cooking skills that will last a lifetime
• Creativity – express kids unique tastes with their own recipes/kitchen creations

Ground Rules for Cooking with Kids

Here are a couple of suggestions for getting your kids into the kitchen.

• Safety first – never leave children unattended in the kitchen. Your supervision is essential and your children’s well being always comes first.
• Never assume that children know how to handle a knife or when something is ’safe’ or ‘unsafe’. Establish safety ground rules which are age and ability appropriate.
• Provide your child with their own kitchen utensil kit such as the Kid’s Cookware Kit - I haven’t done this but think it is a brilliant idea to foster independence and ownership.
• Start with a clean kitchen and keep a sink of warm soapy water ready to clean-up as you go along. Cleaning up is part of cooking so don’t let your kids escape once the dish is made without washing up and wiping off. 
• Make it fun! If you or the children are getting frustrated try again another time or with a different recipe. This is a time to connect, share, and explore the wonder of creating good things to eat while spending time together.

Cooking With Kids Websites

Spatulatta is a great website that teaches kids to cook. Hosts Liv and Belle provide over 350 videos of how kids can make a variety of healthy and nutritious foods including vegan & vegetarian options, comfort foods, holiday specials and more.

For the little ones (ages 2-5) learning to prepare food uses all their senses and exploits their desire to please. It gets them fully involved with their food and with helping around the home. A win-win for sure. Cooking with Children: Kids in the Kitchen offers suggestions for age appropriate tasks and recipes even the youngest children can help prepare.

Cooking With Kids is a school based program that uses hands-on methods to teach elementary students about the joy of delicious healthy foods. From tasting classes which introduce kids to food they may never have had before, to getting local chefs to donate their time and talent to schools, this innovative program brings fresh and healthy options into the classroom.

Educating children about healthy eating is critical. There is much we can do to promote fresh, healthy, delicious food. It is essential to change children’s relationship to food so that they understand that what they put into their bodies effects how their bodies feel and perform.

Here is a 20 minute talk by Ann Cooper, the renegade lunch lady, who is passionate about changing what kids eat for lunch. She promotes a local, sustainable, seasonal and educational diet.

There are numerous ways to change how children relate to food. Here are a few suggestions

• Teach proper nutrition- develop awareness for the food groups, portion size, and label reading
• Involve kids in the kitchen - even the smaller kids can help in the kitchen, get them involved and empower them with life long skills
• Eat together – studies show famlies that eat together have better health habits
• Grow your own food – even a small garden can grow fresh produce for the table
• Appreciate the body - learning basic anatomy develops an appreciation for and awareness of the body, its systems, and how to care for it with proper nutrition

Other articles with a focus on improving the health and nutrition of children include:

• Food Issues — Karmaspot’s Blog
• Kids are Eating a Wheelbarrow full of Sugar  — Young Yoga Masters
• Food, Mood, Behavior and Learning — The Kids Yoga Resource 
• Yoga Can Help Diminish Childhood & Teen Obesity — Shanti Generation Blog
• Eating Local Tips for Busy Moms on a Budget — The PranaMama
• Watermelon Pose — Alluem Kids

If you have a related article or website please post a link in the comments.

Together we can make a difference. This is something we are completely in control of, so get involved, make an effort, take the time.

Over the next couple of months I’ll be ellaborating on ways to change how children relate to food so be sure to subscribe by RSS or e-mail.

1. don’t eat while standing – you don’t wear off more calories by standing (common myth) and your brain doesn’t register the food you are ingesting (mindless snacking a big no-no); sit down and enjoy a meal/snack instead of nibbling
2. don’t eat more than a palm’s worth of anything – portion control is important and your hand is always available to measure by
3. munch while you grocery shop – if you forgot to eat before shopping, snag a bag of baby carrots & munch while filling the basket – ring up the empty bag
4. do traffic light isometrics - while waiting at a red light tone buttocks & abs by clenching until light turns green, you’ll learn quickly which red lights in town are the longest
5. enjoy gorgeous nails – give yourself a manicure when food cravings hit – hands are pretty and out of trouble
6. go monochrome - use colour to your advantage by dressing from top to bottom in one unbroken vertical line=instantly taller and thinner, this really works well with sophistocated dark colours (navy, gray, black, chocolate)
7. don’t eat and…(read, watch TV, work, study) – being mindful about what you put in your mouth makes it more satisfying, tune into what you put in your mouth and enjoy every morsel to its fullest
8. sign up for a fund-raising walk-a-thon or bike-a-thon – enlist sponsors and get moving, you’ll be motivated, be helping others and have a deadline which is good for body & soul
9. make a date – set a standing time to workout with a friend, you can chat, gossip, people watch, and get fit at the same time (see Diet vs Exercise – How to Win the Fight Against Childhood Obesity)
10. want chocolate – eat a sour pickle –  the aftertaste will erase your craving for sweets
11. slow down – put your knife and fork down between bites to slow yourself down & give your brain time to signal “I’m full” which usually takes 20 minutes (see Don’t Rush Your Kids Mindful Eating Key to Maintaining Healthy Weight)
12. live the 80/20 rule – eating healthily 80% of the time allows for small indulgences the remaining 20%, also don’t beat yourself up when you do indulge (we all do) just count it as your 20 percent and return to eating healthy
13. keep it small- never order anything involving the words “deluxe,” “supersize” or “jumbo” – order small sizes of everything especially at a fast food outlets and the coffee shop
14. start a healthy cooking club – exchange recipes & ideas with like minded friends and celebrate success together, you’ll be developing skills and habits you’ll use throughout your life and will have a great cache of healthy eating recipes for when you move out
15. love soup – enjoy a steaming bowl of broth based soup before your meal – it’ll fill you up and quench your hunger
16. employ mind games – cut your sandwich into quarters or use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate to fool yourself into thinking you are eating more - mind games work, use them
17. always buy thin crust pizza – deep dish is trouble and will go straight to your thighs – ugh!
18. drink water – you’ll stay hydrated and feel fuller as well as avoid the unneeded sugar in sodas or the caffiene in coffee & colas
19. smuggle healthy snacks into the movie theatre – you’ve got a big bag, use it for good
20. always bring a guilt free option to get togethers- a fruit or veggie platter are always hits, or if you want to indulge, raid your stash of healthy recipes from #14 and whip up a divine low fat, low sugar option of your fav dessert

With the darkness of the early hours around me I have enjoyed two wonderful posts about how to take care of yourself during these long, cold, dark days of winter. Both of which come from the always engaging elephant journal.

Winter Solstice = Kidney Kindness by Cora Wen

Provides Chinese medical insight into the solstice and how to nourish your kidneys living in harmony with the seasons and your body’s natural rhythms

Winter Solstice Yoga by Nancy Adler

Yin yoga explained with some wonderful pose suggestions to help you stay on your mat during the winter, using it as a time for rest and renewal

Until the sun begins to shine in at least equal amounts each day I will continue to ingest copious amounts of vitamin D supplements, try to appreciate the natural ebb and flow of energy levels, take care of my body with respect and compassion, and follow the advice of these sage women.

With those kind of statistics it was good news last week when Time magazine brought to our attention, with this article, scientific proof from the Journal of Adolescent Health that yoga helps those struggling with eating disorders. (Shout out to YogaDork and Yoga Buzz for highlighting this.)

Yoga has proven to be highly therapeutic and relatively non-threatening when working with those struggling with eating disorders. It provides a gentle awakening of the mind with a soft embrace of the body as it helps to re-establish the connection between the mind and body which can become highly disengaged for individuals with eating disorders. Yoga’s focus on fostering self love and helping to eliminate negative emotions while developing body awareness and acceptance make it an ideal therapy.

Physically yoga helps as it is a non-aerobic form of exercise. In other words it gets the blood flowing, releases positive chemicals into the brain which help overcome anxiety and depression, is weight bearing (a necessity for anorexics who may be at risk for osteoporosis), and doesn’t lead to weight loss but helps build and tone the body. In addition, it is a skill which can be kept up throughout life promoting health and vitality for years to come.

One further benefit of yoga class for teens struggling with eating disorders is that it is a forum for discussion. Topics such as personal boundaries, comfort zones, levels of trust, body image and others can find voice in a safe and nurturing environment.

For more information on how you can help those struggling with eating disorders visit the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA)  and download a copy of their Educator Tool Kit.

“Professor Boyd Swinburn, director of the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention, says: “This is provocative in many ways . . . but my concern is that if we put the emphasis on exercise we are unlikely to tackle the obesity problem as we are not driving at the root cause.””

This is shocking as it attacks the entire culture that exercise is key to losing weight which has been accepted as fact since the 1980s aerobics boom. So why doesn’t exercise work? Two factors are key:

1. We overestimate calories burned typically doubling the figure
2. We eat more to reward ourselves for exercising

OK, guilty as charged.  I’ve been known to enjoy an extra slice of cheese cake if I went to spin class. And I know that when my kids get home from their evening sports activities their first stop is the fridge. In fact, in “a review of 18 studies of new school exercise programmes, published in March in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that in none of them did increasing PE reduce the children’s weight.” So where does that leave the Daily Physical Activity requirement? (see the post Yoga and the DPA Requirement)

We are now forced to consider the other side of the “eat less, move more” equation. Yes, the four letter word, “diet.” A simple mathematical equation of “calories in = calories out” and you won’t gain weight. Put emphasis on either side and you have either weight gain or weight loss depending on how you mess with the balance. True, it sucks, as you actually have to watch what you eat, make healthy choices, and be aware of your consumption habits.

Its always been easier to simply enrol Junior in a sporting activity and allow free reign at the table. Therein lies our problem. Constant snacking, high fat/high sugar foods, easy access to fast food, excessive consumption of soda and juice, highly refined products, convenience over nutrition. All these are contributing to an epidemic which is killing our children.

In order to truly combat the childhood obesity we need to follow the Surgeon General’s three pronged attack to:

• Help kids stay active
• Encourage healthy eating habits
• Promote healthy choices

For ideas on how to implement these goals check out the suggestions for Schools & Teachers and Parents & Caregivers.

Its not a case of diet vs exercise but more a lifestyle shift which includes both diet AND exercise. Yes, this means hard work, consistency, and actually eating 5-10 serving of fruit & veg a day. For a multitude of suggestions on how to accomplish this visit Diet-Blog. When we finally figure this out we’ll be well on our way to healthier living for ourselves and our children.

This week was our first killing frost. In this part of the world the first frost is as inevitable as the sun set. However, exactly which morning will bring said frost is always an unknown. So gardeners in the area become expert gamblers, trying to coax one more day on the vine out of their tomatoes before harvesting their crop. Often leaving root vegetables to be dug after their tops lay wilted and dying.

I must admit, however, this year September was very kind with temperatures into the 20s & 30s (Celsius) until the last week. These extra days of heat helped ripen and sweeten the fresh produce until it was bursting with flavour. I swear my cherry tomatoes taste like candy and I’ve never had such huge beets or onions.

Each year in the spring my children help plant the garden. They each get their own plot where they can choose what to plant. Often it is a salsa garden with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and herbs as we love fresh salsa. Other top choices include spinach (a quick gratification seed), carrots (fresh from the garden taste so good), broccoli (always fun to harvest with a knife) and marigolds (so happy). We dig around in the earth, get dirty, find worms, as they make a row and carefully (or not so carefully) sprinkle the seeds, cover, and water. The kids are very diligent about keeping them watered and daily ask if they get to fill a bucket from the rain barrel to water their precious plot of dirt, at least for the first week. Then like all children, they become distracted, and move on to more pressing activities (ballgames, bike riding, play dates).

Their efforts, even though unseen to their young eyes, have begun to germinate and send out roots. Through a little diligence, some gentle reminders, watering, weeding & waiting soon those first green shoots of spring will burst through to the sun. That is my favourite time of year. Everything is fresh and new, full of potential waiting to be taped.

Then the hot lazy days of summer roll around: a time for growth, development, reaching deep into the earth, striving for the heat of the life giving sun. Now we get to care for our charges. Watering on hot days, pulling weeds when they threaten to take over, itching to pull a carrot top before it is ready. This is the waiting period. The plants are left to do what they do best, grow into their potential.

And now it is harvest. A beautiful time of year with its vibrant colours and invigorating temperatures, but one which always leaves me a little sad. The glory days are behind us and the cold, long winter ahead. April seems so far away, yes half a year of snow and cold. Why do I live here? (a topic for another day) The garden needs to be harvested, the bounty of the growing months eaten, enjoyed, put away into jars and freezer bags to be enjoyed later.

Life Lessons

I love teaching my children to garden because there are so many life lessons in this annual exercise. We are truly like the seeds we plant. With a little care and attention, some regular weeding and watering, we may also be able to reach our full potential and be truly useful, productive, flavourful, and beautiful. Also the lesson of planning a project, actually starting it, following through, and reaching a close over a period of months is indispensable in our day of instant gratification. Then, of course, come the lessons in hard work, diligence & patience. As well, the importance of taking care of the earth, connecting with its life giving force, and a responsibility to tend living things is reinforced in a very real manner. Finally, there is the payoff as we make salads, salsa, soups, chocolate chip zucchini bread, and all manner of delicious things out of what we have grown ourselves.

It’s sad to see the growing season come to a close. Now we get to dig out the scarves and mittens, put away shorts and summer dresses. I think I need to find a satisfying indoor project to get me through the coming winter. Scrap-booking? Organizing my disaster zones? Painting? A new yoga practice? Something to stimulate my mind and spirit while I hibernate. Let me see… What potential lies in these dormant months?
