Even as kids, there are always positive messages that are trying to be taught to us in fun ways. My brother and I always loved playing computer games when we were young, and one that stuck out to both him and I, is Pajama Sam, specifically ‘You are What you Eat from Your Head to Your Feet’. The game focused on eating healthy and avoiding junk food and candy. It is one of the most memorable games that we played that left a positive imprint on us both.
Think about how true the title is ‘You are What you Eat from Your Head to Your Feet’. What you put into your body is what your body will become. Such a simple statement with an immense truth! When I stray away from healthy eating and delve into some junk food, I feel disappointed in myself and feel more or less ‘gross’. I know what I’m doing is not good for me and I can tell the consequences of it almost immediately. The next time you eye that extra cookie, think about what it is going to do and become in your body.
There are always great messages spread about treating our bodies in the right way, even as children. Let’s try to all spread them even more and have a positive impact on our bodies and help others along their paths as well.
