Are your kids being fueled with the proper foods? Of course every child will find a way to eat a cookie, ice cream or candy…but this should not be an everyday occurrence. Parents should help guide their children towards wiser choices when it comes to what they eat.
CNN.com paired up with Rachel Beller, R.D. founder of the Beller Nutritional Institute in Beverly Hills, mom of four and an expert in eating for disease prevention to put together a go-to list of the most important foods a child should consume.
1. Blueberries: decided as one of the healthiest foods around, protects against heart disease, diabetes and helps improve brain function. Try adding them into your childs cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, salads or just on their own.
2. Tofu: full of lean protein and anti-cancer benefits. Dice it up and toss into a stir fry, soup, use the silken variety for smoothies or snack on cooked edamame.
3. Tomatoes: packed with lycopene (protects against cancer) and if you cook the tomatoes they become even healthier when the heat releases the lycopene. Serve tomatoes with olive oil to add in healthy fats which help the body absorb more nutrients. Make your own healthy pizzas, add in pasta sauce or turkey meatballs.

90% of Americans have had lower back pain sometime in their life. This painful symptom may occur from a variety of different processes. Common causes of back pain (“referred”) involve disease or injury to the muscles, bones, and/or nerves of the spine. Pain arising from abnormalities of organs within the abdomen, pelvis, or chest may also be felt in the back. Many intra-abdominal disorders, such as appendicitis, aneurysms, kidney diseases, bladder infections, pelvic infections, and ovarian disorders, among others, can cause pain referred to the back.

How healthy is your fridge? Of course that takeout order of fettucine alfredo is unhealthy but what about those products which you purchase at the grocery store?

1. Mayo: regular mayonnaise isn’t that terrible if it is used in the amount of a teaspoon or two but it gets to be unhealthy when people slather it on.
