In preparation for our field trip with ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen tomorrow morning, we brainstormed as a class the elements of a healthy lifestyle. Some ideas that the students came up with included:

• eating well 
• nutritional foods
• vegetables
• limited junk food intake
• eating at the right time of day
• treat your body with respect
• drink a lot of water
• take your vitamins
• daily multivitamin
• vitamin C
• vitamin D
• vitamin B12
• fish oil
• go to bed early
• exercise
• work out
• stretch your muscles
• go for a walk
• this reduces stress

It is important to understand that in order for us to live a healthy lifestyle, we must have a balance of these elements. It is not enough to just eat healthy; we also must drink water, take vitamins, exercise, and get enough sleep for our bodies to be healthy. 

With this in mind, we are very excited to head out on our field trip tomorrow & learn how to create healthy meals for ourselves in the Blue Flame Kitchen!
