Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is a type of medical treatment that helps a person move someone’s body. If you’ve had a broken bone or an injury and can’t do things like you used to, physical therapy helps you to move your body better. Physical therapists know lots about how the body moves and how to improve your movement. They treat patients as young as babies and as old as great-grandparents. During sessions they teach them some exercises and special stretches.

Healthy foods and drinks

Eating fruits, vegetables and healthy drinks helps your body stay healthy. Tricks to eating healthy foods are eating them prepared in different ways. Drinks like water, milk and 100% fruit juice. School age children should drink at least 6 to 8 ounces of fruit juice a day. Some children choose sports drinks, fizzy and fruit flavoured drinks. They’re ok once in a while but not all the time.

Any breakfast is better than no breakfast. Some skip breakfast because they sleep too late or they want to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn’t help people have the right weight. People who skip breakfast eat more calories during the day. Children who don’t eat breakfast are less able to learn in school.
