The document provides healthy eating and exercise tips for every day of the month. Some highlights include: - Having an in-home dance party on the first of the month and making your own healthy pizza. - Inviting friends to meet at the school field for a baseball or softball game, bringing unsalted peanuts and popcorn as a snack. - Doing yardwork for a neighbor who needs help such as mowing their lawn or weeding.
