There are many good reasons to start kids on the path to healthy cooking from an early age:

- It develops their knowledge and understanding of how balanced, tasty meals are put together at all stages of the process, from handling raw ingredients through to final presentation (and washing up!)

- It’s a terrific way to prove to them that healthy food needn’t be dull

- It builds confidence and self-esteem

- It’s a creative outlet that keeps them occupied, via a series of quick goal-based tasks

Running is a wonderful way to burn calories, increase your endurance, and just generally get into much better shape. However, this exercise isn’t without its downsides.

One of the big negatives of running is the strong impact it can have on your sensitive joints. Your foot is constantly hitting the surface, usually a hard one like asphalt, and each time it hits, your joints take a beating. Over time, putting all of this strain on your joints can lead to serious health problems like arthritis, knee injuries, and just overall pain. Eventually, these types of problems could cause you to have to give up running altogether.
