The Health & Fitness Question Box
Something new this year in PE is the "Health & Fitness Question Box." Students have the opportunity to get their questions answered on my website each week! If you have a health & fitness question, be sure to drop it in the question box at school. Here are two questions that were asked this week:
Question 1 from "Anonymous" asks: What fruit would benefit someone the most?
Answer: Different fruits benefit people in different ways. Most fruits contain antioxidants which protect our bodies from damage. If I had to pick just one, I would say berries, especially blueberries. Research has show that they are extremely protective of the brain.
Question 2 from "Anonymous 6th grader" asks: Will we be doing ten pins on Monday?
Answer: Yes! We will have a 10 pin team competition.

Exercise = Cardiovascular Health!
Exercise strengthens the
heart like any other muscle. When
the heart is stronger it can pump blood throughout the body much better. This is important as blood contains the
necessary oxygen, nutrients, and cells to keep our bodies alive & feeling
well. Exercise also produces eNOS
(endothelial nitric oxide) which helps the heart & blood vessels relax so
blood can flow easier.
