Fall Activity Needs for Children
US children spend six to eight hours a day at school. That creates many opportunities for students to be physically active, which is important because experts recommend children get 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Find out more about ways your child can stay active at school with this fact sheet on Physical Activity.[1.6 MB]
It is also important for students to get physical education designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for physical activity and physical fitness. These can help your kids gain the ability to stay physically active for their entire life time. Physical education can contribute to the one hour of physical activity kids should get each day. Learn more about how you can help with this fact sheet on Physical Education.[1.98 MB
Where to Pick Apples
8 Steps for Healthy Living
1. Let Beans Be a Part of Your Diet
If you do one thing to improve your diet this fall, eat 3 cups of beans each week. Besides being a comfort food, beans add flavor and texture to soups, chili, and casseroles. They’re also a great salad topper.
Beans are rich in protein, iron, folic acid, fiber, and potassium. So pick a bean, any bean — lima, black, garbanzo, pinto, or others — and enjoy.
2. Defuse Stress With Friendship
Fall is a good time to come back together after the summer scattering of vacations and busy schedules — a great time to relax with friends.
3. Be Tender With Your Teeth
If you do one thing to improve your dental health this fall, turn over a new leaf by ditching habits that are hard on your teeth.
4. Have Fun With Fitness
Improve your fitness this fall: Try a less-conventional workout to spruce up your regimen.
Break out of your fitness rut by taking a ballroom dance class or a mind-body workout such as yoga, Pilates, or Tai chi. You’ll be energized and more likely to stick with it.

Egg and Dairy Replacers
Some of you may have food allergies while others would simply like to try a vegan diet. In either case, the following substitutions may prove helpful to know.
As a binder, substitute for each egg:
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) soft tofu blended with the liquid ingredients of the recipe, or
- 1 small banana, mashed, or
- 1/4 cup applesauce, or
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch, or Ener-G Egg Replacer or another commercial mix found in health food stores.
The following substitutions can be made for dairy products:
- Soy milk, rice milk, potato milk, nut milk, or water (in some recipes) may be used.
- Buttermilk can be replaced with soured soy or rice milk. For each Cup of buttermilk, use 1 cup soymilk plus 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- Soy cheese available in health food stores. (Be aware that many soy cheeses contain casein, which is a dairy product.)
- Crumbled tofu can be substituted for cottage cheese or ricotta cheese in lasagna and similar dishes.
- Several brands of nondairy cream cheese are available in some supermarkets and kosher stores.
