Disney graciously invited the Social Media Moms to share in the Celebration of Healthy Living at Epcot on Saturday, March 19th. The guests of honor were youngsters (ages 8-14) who had written winning essays sharing their ideas for leading healthier lifestyles.
At a press event, before the Celebration several Disney Channel stars were on hand including: Daniel Curtis Lee from Zeke and Luther; Jennifer Stone from Wizards of Waverly Place and Alyson Stoner from Phineas and Ferb and Camp Rock 2. I especially enjoyed comments from Jennifer Stone who had great tips for easy choices to make your diet healthier. She emphasized meal planning and cooking a week of meals on Sundays, freezing them for fast and easy daily preparation.
Heather Mizrahi of The Walt Disney Company led the panel, in answering questions from Social Media Moms. She and Disney Chef Gary Jones discussed the Disney’s commitment to providing healthier food choices for Disney World guests. When one blogger asked about the special dietary needs of children with disabilities, Chef Gary told a story that surprised and touched me. One day he received an inquiry for a mom who explained to him that because of special diet restrictions, her 8 year old daughter had never eaten outside of their home. To make a dream come true for her, her parents were now bringing her to Disney World, but were worried about how to handle her special diet. The Disney Chefs worked with her to make her stay magical and healthy for her.
One of the things I am so happy about at Rosie’s school is their commitment to healthy school food. Chef Gary Jones spoke of a program, Chefs Move to Schools, where professional chefs volunteer to partner with schools and develop healthy, delicious meals. He encouraged anyone who felt their school needed assistance to go to the program’s website. (Click here)
You may have seen the public service announcements on the Disney Channel with First Lady, Michelle Obama. Disney Magic of Healthy Living launched in September 2010 with a year-long series of healthy living public service announcements. It also features two websites, one geared for kids http://Disney.com/healthyfun; the other, http://Family.com/healthymagic, offers healthy living advice and resources, including delicious recipes.
I’m sharing my Disney Social Media Moms Celebration swag with a lucky reader – you can win a fun picnic tote and blanket. One tip for healthy living is to get outside! This picnic set will be perfect to use with your family on an outdoor adventure of your own.

Sounds like a good give away. Came by to thank you for dropping by and I’m returning the favor. Your stumbled.

I read that kids should get at least 60 min. of exercise each day. They offered 10 fitness ideas: jumping rope, dancing, hiking, yoga, dog walking, using hippity hop balls, frisbee, trampoline, hula hoop and skateboarding. Anything that keeps kids moving is good even just walking or riding a bike. :-)

Dr. Small recommends waiting until children reach age 5 or 6 before involving them in organized sports. He suggests that the youngest preschoolers explore sports activities but not in a league.

Wonder why fruits smell and taste so good? So animals will eat them. The animals then leave the undigested seeds in their droppings so new fruit trees will grow in new locations.
