BOB Sports Utility
Strollers in SMR Store
BOB strollers are the #1
jogging strollers, preferred by most hardcore runners (men and women). They have
shock absorbers so your child stays safe and still over rough terrain. The shocks
absorb the motion so that you don't need larger tires - meaning...you can fit the totally
collapsible BOB stroller in your car without removing needless, bulky tires. Sun
canopy is much more adjustable and truly blocks sun from your child.
Shop online at www.seeMOMMYrun.com/store
and receive FREE SHIPPING ($50+ value)
and a FREE seeMOMMYrun t-shirt ($24 value).

Carbs,
Sugar, and Your Child
Often called carbs, carbohydrates are the body's most important and readily
available source of energy. Even though they've gotten a bad rap in the 2000s and have
often been blamed for the obesity epidemic in America, carbohydrates are a necessary part
of a healthy diet for both children and adults.
The two major forms are:
- simple sugars (simple carbohydrates), found in sugars such as
fructose, glucose, and lactose, as well as in nutritious whole fruits
- starches (complex carbohydrates), found in foods such as
starchy vegetables, grains, rice, and breads and cereals
So
how, exactly, does the body process carbohydrates and sugar? All carbohydrates are broken
down into simple sugars. These sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar
level rises, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin, which is needed to move sugar
from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.
The
carbohydrates in some foods (mostly those that contain simple sugars and highly refined
grains, such as white flour and white rice) cause your child's blood sugar level to rise
more quickly than others. Complex carbohydrates (found in whole grains), on the other
hand, are broken down more slowly, allowing blood sugar to rise more gradually. Eating a
diet that's high in foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar may increase a person's
risk of developing health problems like diabetes and heart disease, although these studies
have been done mostly in adults.
Despite the recent
craze to cut carbs, the bottom line is that not all foods containing carbohydrates are bad
for your child, whether they're complex, as in whole grains, or simple carbohydrates, such
as those found in fruits. If carbohydrates were such a no-no, we'd have a huge problem,
considering that most foods contain them. But, of course, some carbohydrate foods are
healthier than others.
Good sources of carbohydrates include:
- whole-grain cereals
- brown rice
- whole-grain breads
- fruits
- vegetables
A
healthy balanced diet for children over 2 years should include 50% to 60% of the calories
consumed coming from carbohydrates. The key is to make sure that the majority of
carbohydrates your child eats are from good sources and to limit the amount of added sugar
in your child's diet.

Help SMR Help You
Find Members!
Started a group but no members have joined you?
No worries. Sometimes you may live in an area where seeMOMMYrun has not yet
gotten the word out. That means we need your help telling people about the site AND
about your group. Here are a few tips:
1. TALK to moms passing
you on the trails. This is the #1 way to recruit members. You might even write
the web address and your group name on scrap paper to hand out.
2. Email members in your area
to invite them for a run or walk.
3. Tell everyone in your moms
groups, church, friends, family, co-workers, etc. Word of Mouth will get members
faster than advertising, etc. Men tell their wives, women tell their friends, moms
tell their daughters, etc. You get the idea!
4. seeMOMMYrun is a free site and we cannot
afford to spend $$ advertising. So we rely on local newspapers, television stations,
and parenting mags for publicity. Please send me the names of your local
newspapers or any local publications and I will contact them. You
can also submit a FREE listing about your group to most local papers.
Email me at andrea@seeMOMMYrun.com with
suggestions and newspapers.
seeMOMMYrun can change your life. But you
have to participate to see how great it can be.
