Time to do a little research. In your first topic post, you shared a goal(s) that you would like to achieve with your health. I want you to research a diet and/or exercise program that would help you reach this goal. Once you find the website that you feel will work for you, I want you to cite this website in Noodle Tools and create an annotation. Once you create the citiation, copy and paste your findings in a reply to this topic. Good luck!

Guidance, n.d. Web. 22 Apr. 2013. <http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/
16317/1/Organic-vs-Conventional-Foods.html>. In this article they talk
about organic vs conventonal food. Everyone assumes organic food is better.
The thing is that no body knows the risks of eating synthetic food you
could say. So overall organic looks like the better choice since we know
its not bad for you, it is assumed though that the "fake" food is bad for
you in the long run.0 -

too , specially if you go there daily can help way more than you think. But

Wlliamson, dancing can help you burn good amount of calories, depending
upon the type and intensity of dance you perform. Therefore, there is no
doubt that someone can easily burn hundreds of calories in an hour long
dancing session. Even if you prefer lazy dance moves, you will still end up burning some calories as
opposed to sitting on your couch doing nothing or just watching television. This helps me because I do not exercise very much and this gives me a more enjoyable option to choose from.0 -

gain weight because they tend to eat more during meals. Which means you
should always eat breakfast because its awsome!0 -
