What a fun day our MDN students had today at Waterman Farms with Glenn Mills @CFAES_OSU & Dr. @ColleenSpees. We got an educational tour of the farm putting us in touch with where our food comes from!

February is national #cancerpreventionmonth! Did you know #research suggests that eating mostly plant-based foods plays a large role in preventing #cancer thanks to #fiber, #nutrients and #phytochemicals?

Today is #nationalstressawareness day. We all have #stress in our lives, but what is the best way to help control stress? Choosing a #balanced, healthy #dietarypattern and regularly engaging in #physicalactivity are two ways you can support your body during times of stress.

It’s #applepicking season out at the #garden! Not only is #apple picking a fun #physicalactivity to do with the #family, taking home the apples to eat and use in #cooking is a great way to add #fiber, #phytochemicals and vitamin C into your dietary pattern.

[Hope Grows @grows_hope]

Don’t forget to save the #pumpkinseeds when you carve your #pumpkin! They are an excellent source of phosphorus, manganese and magnesium and contain monounsaturated fats, omega-6 fatty acids & phytosterols. Roast them and use them on top of salads, soups or eat by the handful!

What a fun night at the #garden last night harvesting #pumpkins! Pumpkins are not just decoration, they are a #nutrition powerhouse, providing #fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and beta-carotene- and they’re delicious too! @CFAES_OSU @USDANutrition @ColleenSpees

As the days get shorter and the weather colder, #soups and #stews serve to warm and comfort. Many of the #vegetables grown in the #garden make great additions to nutritious soups, including #tomatoes, #peppers, #kale and #corn. @USDANutrition @CFAES_OSU

[Hope Grows @grows_hope]

#Gardening can be fun for the whole #family! Working in a garden is a great activity to practice #teamwork, #communication & bonding over a common goal. Everyone involved can benefit by being in nature, engaging in #physicalactivity & creating #nutritious meals with the #harvest!

[Hope Grows @grows_hope]

With the arrival of cooler temperatures in #Columbus comes new #produce popping up at the #garden! We have been harvesting different varieties of #peppers, #squash, #eggplant and #corn. The kids are anxiously awaiting the #pumpkinpatch in a few weeks! @USDANutrition @CFAES_OSU

[Hope Grows @grows_hope]

Jumping for #joy over #produce! #Kids @ Hope Garden are excited about fruits & vegetables! Did you know some #research shows #gardening can have a positive impact on kids fruit & vegetable intake? Interacting with produce could help them become more #adventurouseaters
