On a cold and rainy Thursday morning, I was reading Lisa Andrews’ latest post about lipids. When I got to the bottom of the page, the Dancing Heart poster caught my attention.

Now it was early and I wasn’t all that awake, but that cute fruit-and-veggie-filled dancing heart gave me a burst of energy. It made me think first of Dancing with the Stars, then the song Dancing Queen from Mamma Mia. Looking at it again a few days later, it even evoked a little Saturday Night Fever (now I’m showing my age!). Bottom line — it put me in the best mood and it made me want to dance!

So I searched the Nutrition Education Store for “dancing” to see what else goes along with this theme. What a great way to liven things up and make food fun again for your clients…

Dancing Heart Poster
Hang this poster in your office, waiting room, cafeteria, hallway, or classroom. It just might make kids and adults feel like dancing. And they’ll get the message that fruits and vegetables are good for your heart.

Other messages conveyed by the Dancing Heart poster:

• To keep your heart dancing to the beat, fruits and veggies should take up half of your plate.
• Daily steps for a healthy heart also include: lower sodium, zero trans fat, and low saturated fat.
• The accompanying printable Fruit & Veggie Quiz will test clients’ knowledge of all things fruit and veggie, including serving sizes, cooking methods, fiber, and more.
• The accompanying printable Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables has tips you can use when teaching/counseling about heart disease, weight management, cancer, and bone health.
