About Maggie

I am a nurse and a mother of 2. I am also the founder of Nourish Interactive. I am very concerned about the health and well being of our children. I started the Nourishing Thoughts Blog so that I could help parents keep up on the latest trends in children's nutrition and exercise.

I know that much like reading and writing is the foundation for learning, nutrition is the foundation for healthy children. But with so many new studies, products and trends constantly being reported it is hard to keep up. I just want to make it a little easier for parents by doing some of the legwork and providing you with up to date information.

Michelle Obama visits Sesame Street and promotes healthy eating and being active

Michelle Obama is truly rising as one of our most health minded mothers/First Lady. First, she is planting a garden in the White House and now she is on Sesame Street promoting healthy habits.

Here is a cute public service announcement Michelle Obama made with Elmo talking about her activities while visiting Sesame Street. It’s about a minute long and worth watching with your little one!

She brings out three key messages:

  • healthy lunches
  • the importance of daily exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the neighborhood
  • parents are important role models by showing their child how to have healthy habits

After watching the video with your child, it is a great intro to talking about what is healthy eating and how much exercise do we need and why. It is nice to see some cute, kid-friendly advertising that promotes a positive message about nutrition and exercise.

If you need some help or guidelines on healthy eating, you can read these action-oriented nutrition articles, or print out some free healthy family tips!
