Health Tips from a Mother of Three

When I was a child, my parents taught me that staying in good health was very important. They always made sure I "ate my veggies" and encourage my siblings and myself to stay active in sports. Now that I have three children, I am dedicated to teaching them how important health is, like my mother did. I am always keeping an eye on the latest health news and medical discoveries, and I wish many more people did that, as well.
