By Diana Chaloux This is the tale of two girls named Cindy. Cindy A and Cindy B live in the same town, they go to the same school and are in the same grade. Cindy A and Cindy B are the same age and the same height they even have the same color hair! These two girls seem to have a lot in common, but when we take a closer look we will see that even though these two girls seem alike on the outside, they are very different on the inside. Cindy A has a lot of energy. During recess at school she loves to run around the school yard and play games with all of her classmates. She is happy and she is healthy. Cindy A is constantly moving. Her body, her heart and her lungs are all very strong and in good shape. Cindy A is a confident girl, and she is at a healthy weight. This is a girl who is in a great mood most of the time, has tons of energy all through the day and sleeps well through the night. Cindy B is very different. Cindy B doesnt have a lot of energy. She wakes up groggy and is tired throughout the day. She has a hard time paying attention during class. Cindy B doesnt feel like doing much at recess or after school because she is tired. Her free time is spent sitting and watching television or playing on the computer. Cindy B doesnt have a lot of confidence, her muscles are not strong and her weight is steadily increasing. Cindy B knows that she needs to exercise and move her body, but she just doesnt have the energy to do it! So even with all of their similarities it is plain to see that these two girls dont have much in common after all! So why is there such a big difference between them? Why is Cindy B so tired all the time, and why does Cindy A have so much more energy? The answer is fuel! Now I know you are saying. Isnt fuel what you fill your car up with? Yes, that is true, but our bodies operate in much the same way as a car. Food acts as the fuel for our bodies, and if we dont provide our bodies with the right types and amounts of fuel, our bodies will not be able to run properly! The foods that you eat throughout the day affect so many things including your weight, the mood that you are in, your energy levels and even how well you sleep at night! Cindy A starts her day off with breakfast every morning! She knows that this is the most important meal of the day. Throughout the day Cindy A chooses foods that will keep her full of energy. She loves to eat fruits and vegetables, not only do they taste good they also provide her body with valuable nutrients. Cindy As mom knows how important healthy eating is in order for Cindy to stay strong, healthy and full of energy so she keeps the closets and refrigerator stocked with foods such as whole grain breads and crackers, lean meats like turkey and chicken as well as plenty of yogurt, cheese and milk which provide Cindy A with calcium to keep her bones strong! Cindy A drinks plenty of water throughout the day so that her body stays hydrated. Cindy A is like any kid and loves to have special treats such as candy, chips or ice cream, but she doesnt eat these things every day, instead they are for special occasions. Cindy B has a different story. She skips breakfast in the morning. Instead of water or milk, she drinks sodas which are filled with sugar. She eats candy loaded with sugar and fat for snacks. Throughout the day her food choices may include pizza, cheeseburgers, French Fries and other greasy fried foods. These foods not only cause Cindy B to gain weight, they simply dont provide her body with the energy that it needs to function properly. Eating these foods is causing Cindy B to be tired and because of that she barely does any exercise which is causing her muscles to become weak! Her body is dehydrated because she drinks sodas instead of water throughout the day. If Cindy B continues to make these poor food choices, she is in danger of becoming overweight or obese and there is a good chance she could develop diabetes (dy-uh-bee-tees). This is a disease that affects how your body turns glucose (gloo-kose) or sugar, into energy. Having too much sugar in your blood can cause you to get very sick! When we look at the two Cindys it is plain to see how important it is to fuel our bodies with the right kinds of food! Even though these girls seem to be the same, they are totally different when it comes to how healthy they are. So if you want to be strong, healthy and full of energy like Cindy A it is important to make nutritious food choices and stay away from the junk foods and sweets that are causing Cindy B so much trouble! You can do it! I challenge you to make the right food choices starting today! Diana Chaloux is the co-founder and owner of Destined 2 Be Fit (www.destined2befit.com).
