Clovis Volunteer Receives ``Heroes in Education'' Award
Business Wire (press release), CA -
Carolyn refers to fruit and carrots as "cookies", so when she asks the children if they would like cookies, they scream "Yes." This word association is helping the students to rethink their eating habits by choosing healthy snacks. Carolyn has applied this technique to the children's birthday parties as well, replacing the cake and ice cream with carrots and fruit. By changing their eating habits, Carolyn is not only creating a healthier student body, but a group of kids who can make informed nutritional choices in the future. Carolyn's methods are so popular that the San Francisco School Districts has their nutritionist consult with her to develop a healthy eating program that will be used throughout the school district. Much work is still left to be done, and Carolyn encourages others to volunteer, because as she says, "There's not enough of me to go around."

Keeping Children Fit and Healthy
Loudoun Connection, VA -
For Speroni the most important thing about the study is teaching children about choice. She wants the children to know which would be the most healthy choice and to then decide for themselves. That way, she said, the children are taking responsibility for the way that they eat. As a part of the study, the children are asked to keep track of what they eat, what types of activities they do and to use a pedometer to count the number of steps they take in a week.

Five tips for the next 20 years
U.S. News & World Report -
"People tend to think of breakthroughs in medicine as a new drug, a laser, or a high-tech surgical procedure," says Dean Ornish, clinical professor of medicine at the University of California–San Francisco and bestselling author. "They often have a hard time believing that the simple choices that we make in our lifestyle—what we eat, how we respond to stress, whether or not we smoke cigarettes, how much exercise we get, and the quality of our relationships and support—can be as powerful as drugs and surgery. But they often are." Ornish's research shows that most people with severe coronary heart disease can stop or reverse the condition by making comprehensive lifestyles changes, without drugs or surgery. Other research has found that healthful eating habits and exercise may reduce the risk of breast cancer and slow the progression of prostate cancer.
