Dr. Sears Stops By

We're only in our 3rd week of MOPS and the kids seem settled in their MOPPETS classrooms, we already have had some yummy breakfasts, an amazing craft, and famous Dr speak. Aren't you glad you are at MOPS?!!
In case any of you forgot your pens or notebooks last Friday I was able to write down a few 'highlights' from Dr. Sears talk. I personally got a lot out of his talk and hope each of you walked away with something as well.

Dr. Sears says if you:

• Eat fruit it reduces cancer by half
• DO NOT eat High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated foods and "colors & numbers" Red #40

The Best Brain Foods

1. Salmon
2. Blueberries (wild)
3. Greens
4. Nuts-walnuts are best

A healthy breakfast is so important for our kids. Research shows that kids who eat healthy breakfasts have higher math scores, more attentiveness, are less hyper and less anxiety and depression. So what do we give our kids for breakfast?
How about High Protein such as eggs, moderate complex carbs such as yogurt, whole grain bread and fruit and smart fats such as omega 3's.
