I am so excited that people are starting to become more aware of what they eat, what they are feeding their children and how so many different types of food (that we thought were healthy "enough") are effecting our health and the health of our children. I think people are starting to see the BIG picture and now with GE’s “Healthymagination” Initiative, Pledge For Better Health, in support of National Women’s Health Week, May 9th-15th, 2010, they too are helping in the movement. Everyone can do their part by taking the pledge too, just as I did!

GE is hoping to encourage women to take an active role in their own health, and the health of their loved ones through the Pledge For Better Health. I took my pledge....

“I pledge continue to keep my family healthy by feeding them healthy foods daily!”

It's hard even for me, but I know with educating myself and family on what is healthy for us we can do it. I encourage everyone to buy locally and in season, if you can't buy all organic (who really can) do the best with what you have in your community. Support local farming and also grow your own garden, even if it's small. You and your children will take pride in what you have achieved and will be more apt to eat it. Let me tell you, there is nothing better then a tomato from the garden.

I would like to encourage everyone to take the Pledge For Better Health as well!  Together we can motivate women everywhere to live healthier lifestyles and feel good about themselves.
