The new year can mean new milestones for some, new motivation for others, and unfortunately, new misinformation when it comes to nutrition. We sort through the facts and fictions of some recent food fads. As we roll into the school year for 2022, it's time to start thinking about ways to make lunchbox packing easy and affordable - and keep those mornings stress free. While it doesn’t need to be two hours in the cricket nets or a Saturday morning 5k jog, kids do need to move often for their health and development, and the more different movements they do the better. While we may see technology as a foe of physical activity, there is plenty of fun to be found in fitness through tech, and it’s mostly free! Heading into summer and the holiday season, it’s all about BBQs, picnics, and classroom parties. Platters are a great way to bring something healthy and tasty along when you’re asked to bring a plate to share. On Friday the 29th of October the Crunch&Sip® team celebrated an exciting milestone, as St Simon Peter Catholic Primary School became the 500th school to join the program. Read more about the celebration here. Whether you’re racing to school, or spending holiday time with the family, riding a bike provides the excitement of adventure as well as whole-body health benefits. Making physical activity family-friendly helps role model healthy behaviours for kids, which can make them more likely to continue to be active and healthy as they grow up
