The Texan and I have become more conscious of healthy living since becoming parents. Sure, we love pizza as much as the next guy, but try not to eat it too often. Making an effort to be active and adopt healthy living choices takes a lot of focus and dedication. With the right resources, everyone can be on their way to living even healthier.

Boys & Girls Clubs provide a variety of resources to children in communities across the country, including some exciting educational opportunities. Have you heard of all the wonderful things that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Amway are doing to encourage healthy living?
They’re started three amazing initiatives that will teach young boys and girls across America the importance of a healthy diet and choosing a healthy lifestyle
