2013 Student Questions - Round 4


Question: How do you start growing more?
Answer:  Height is largely determined by genetics. Look at how tall your mom and dad are and you will probably end up somewhere between them. To make sure you reach your growing potential, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle. That means staying active, getting quality sleep, and eating as many natural healthy foods as possible. Most growth spurts occur between the ages of 12-18 so don’t worry too much if you aren’t towering above your classmates yet.
Question: Which fruits are lower in sugar?
Answer: My recommendations for lower sugar fruits include: all berries including blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, and strawberries, rhubarb, papaya, watermelon, peaches, nectarines, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, apples, apricots, lemons, limes, and grapefruit. Remember, this is when the fruit is in a fresh or fresh-frozen state. Canned and dried fruits usually contain more sugar.
Question: What is the healthiest food you can ever eat?
Answer: There is no healthiest food or miracle food out there. All foods are different, and serve different purposes. Concentrate on getting a variety of real, whole, natural food sources in your meals. Remember to eat lots of brightly colored plants amongst your meat, dairy, and nuts.  A variety of healthy food is the key.
