Children thrive with physical activity and by being out in the nature
A 4-year-old who can identify when to call an emergency telephone number like 911 in the U.S, becomes a 10-year-old who may begin to perform effective chest compressions, according to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council.

Generally, carbohydrates should make up 50% to 55% of a child's caloric needs, but this range can expand to 65%, depending on a child's age. Teenagers, who are usually more active, have higher caloric requirements and can therefore eat more carbohydrates and stay healthy. In general, your child's carbohydrate intake should be well-balanced with complex carbohydrates, including foods with good fiber content.

Wellness is wholistic in that it is comprised of physical and mental health as well as the health of our communities. All of these benefits add up and reduce adverse impacts on our bodies, and have restorative characteristics. So get outdoors and enjoy nature’s gift of wellness.
