Healthy Food Chart

Although I can't tell you the last time I read a nursery rhyme I saw this particular one the other day and knew I had to pass it on to our NutritionData readers.

I felt this nursery rhyme was only fitting being that we are coming up on the New Year and this is a time where all of us should evaluate where our lives are and how we can improve them. This rhyme boils our health down to its very essence and is a short reminder of how getting back to the basics may be exactly what we need…

"The best six doctors anywhere,
And no one can deny it,
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air,
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend,
If only you are willing.
Your mind they'll ease.
Your will they'll mend.
And charge you not a shilling."

"What the River Knows" (1990) Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields
