Heart group backs video games in obesity campaign
http://www.chron.com/news/science/
By JOEL SCHECTMAN AP Business Writer © 2010 The Associated Press
May 17, 2010, 5:42PM
NEW YORK — Talk about strange bedfellows. The American Heart Association and Nintendo Co. are teaming up to promote the popular Wii video game console, as the health advocacy group concedes that its campaign for traditional exercise isn't working.
The surprising partnership, announced Monday, comes amid growing concern about obesity among kids who spend much of their time watching television and playing video games.
Nintendo will be able to brand its Wii products with the AHA's iconic heart logo to let consumers know that the organization considers the items a healthy choice. Nintendo will donate $1.5 million to the Dallas-based AHA as part of the partnership.
"We can keep beating the drum on traditional exercise and make small changes to the obesity epidemic, or we can try something that is really provocative and new," Clyde Yancy, the AHA's president, said in an interview.
Numerous studies show a correlation between obesity and the amount of time children spend with television and video games. Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America's Health, said the best solution is simply to cut the cord and encourage youths to spend less time in front of screens.
But the AHA said it is endorsing the Wii because it will encourage sedentary Americans to take the first step toward fitness. With 70 percent of Americans doing no regular physical activity at all, the AHA wants to find a way to reach out to people turned off by gyms and traditional sports.
The organization said its studies show that 40 percent of those who don't exercise say that it's not entertaining enough. The AHA says the Wii addresses the fun factor.
The Wii, which has sold more than 30 million consoles across the Americas, comes with a controller that encourages people to physically move as they play. Sports-style games such as baseball and boxing let players move their arms to simulate the pitching of a ball or the throwing of a punch. Nintendo also makes a foot pad accessory, the Wii Fit, that allows players to try dance steps or yoga.
The heart icon covers the Wii console itself along with two of its more active games, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort.
Many of the Wii games are less physically demanding. Some puzzle titles, for instance, let players adjust shapes through small twists of the wrist.
Wii players say that the level of physical exertion varies greatly by player.
Maria Lambiris, an 18-year-old illustrations student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, said the game system recently helped her lose five pounds.
"You really get into it sometimes and you can use your whole body," Lambiris said.
But her classmate Maki Yang, 19, was quick to point out that sometimes it's easier and more fun to cheat.
"You can just do this with your wrist," Yang said while flicking her wrist slightly, "and you do even better in the game."
But while many of the games may not offer the same level of physical activity as traditional sports, they may help get some people started on a healthier lifestyle.
"It is a first step for someone who is entirely sedentary," Yancy said.
Yancy said that once that person becomes motivated, he or she can access a website Nintendo and the AHA are developing to help monitor exercise and diet plans.
Rival game console makers Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp., cognizant of the Wii's popularity, are also developing motion controllers. Microsoft's Natal, for instance, wouldn't require a physical controller; players would use their bodies to control their video game characters. The AHA said it wasn't currently in discussions with those companies.

The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue
By Missy Chase Lapine
**You need to prepare the Purple Puree and Flour Blend ahead of time!
Purple Puree
3 cups raw baby spinach leaves
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries, no syrup or sugar added
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Place the spinach in the food processor and pulse a few times. ‘This will reduce the spinach. Next, add the blueberries, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of water; puree on high until as smooth as possible. Stop occasionally to push the contents to the bottom. You can add another tablespoon of water to create a smooth puree.
This will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days, or you can freeze ¼ cup portions in sealed plastic bags.
Flour Blend
1 cup all-purpose, unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup wheat germ, unsweetened
Combine the flours and wheat germ in a large bowl. This makes about 3 cups. This blend can be stored in a sealed plastic bag or container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Light Brainy Brownies
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 large eggs
¼ cup vanilla yogurt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ cup sugar
¾ cup Purple Puree
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup Flour Blend
¼ cup oat bran
½ teaspoon baking powder
Powdered sugar, for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter or spray, then lightly flour, the boom of a 9-inch baking pan.
3. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in the microwave, checking every 15 seconds. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool a bit. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla, sugar and Purple Puree. Combine the Purple Puree mixture with the cooled chocolate mixture.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cinnamon, coffee, cocoa, salt, Flour Blend, oat brand and baking powder. Add this to the chocolate mixture and blend thoroughly. Pour the entire mixture into the baking pan.
5. Bake for 36 – 40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting the brownies using a plastic or butter knife. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
6. Keeps for a week in the refrigerator, covered tightly.

This week is National Physical Education and Sport Week, and this year’s theme,
“Move Every Body, Every Day, Every Way,” is a great way to motivate kids to get up and get moving.
Daily physical activity is instrumental for children to develop and maintain healthy lifestyles. Modern-day conveniences have made a sedentary lifestyle all too easy for kids. It is up to parents to ensure that their children participate in physical activity both at school and home. Here are a few ways you can make this happen:
-Encourage your children’s school to include more physical education classes and
recess time.
-Encourage your children to participate in school or community-sponsored sports
programs. Sports teach team work, self-discipline and coordination.
-Get active with your kids. You don’t have to be a great athlete to go for a jog,
play tag or swim with them at your local pool.
Besides helping your kids stay healthy, regular physical activity also helps kids perform better in the classroom. New evidence shows children find it easier to pay attention when they’ve been active.
For more information on keeping your children active, visit the Nutrition for Kids and Teens section at www.eatright.org.

Calling all parents!
2 of our Rummel Creek teachers have won an iMac computer for their classroom by entering a contest on www.playnormous.com. This website has some wonderful games that help teach your child about food and nutrition and making healthy choices for life!
For the next week or two, your child will be asked to play these games. Then, after they have had a chance to think about what they are learning, we will partner up with some older kids to help post their thoughts to this blog.
I also have some other activities that I will need your help with. They are totally optional - however, they will be photographed and used to make a class book and housed in our school library.
Keep checking back on this blog! In fact, become a follower and see what is going on!
