My BlogSpark and Yoplait have given me the opportunity to try Yoplait Yogurt and Giveaway a “Get Strong & Healthy” Gift pack to two of my lucky readers.  It’s important to have a healthy lifestyle, but as Mom’s we are often so busy we do not pay enough attention to our own health.  Here is some information you might find interesting:

Yoplait yogurt is the only leading brand of yogurt containing calcium and vitamin D in every serving (10-20 percent of your daily value of vitamin D and an excellent source of calcium). Yoplait offers a large variety of great tasting flavors to help the whole family meet their vitamin D and calcium needs.

Did you know that?

• 76% of the population is falling short of getting enough vitamin D; and 72% of the population is not getting enough calcium in their diets
• Consuming calcium and vitamin D during childhood and adolescence can help reduce risk of fractures in adulthood

Getting an adequate amount of calcium and vitamin D, paired with exercise, is important to help build and maintain strong, healthy bones. Yoplait is partnering with Nancy O’Dell, entertainment news reporter and celebrity mom, who understands the importance of incorporating calcium and Vitamin D into her diet, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I was able to try the Light Thick & Creamy Yoplait Yogurt that was only 100 calories and fat free.  I have to admit I have never been a huge fan of yogurt.  But they have so many yummy flavors now, that it’s easy to find one you like.  I chose the Key Lime Pie flavor.  Here in Florida, that is a very popular desert, so I wanted to try the yogurt version.  Now here’s the part where I was bad.  I also grabbed a Nature Valley Oats N Honey granola bar with it!  I dipped it in the yogurt and the granola was like pie crust and it was so yummy!  My kids love the Gogurts and we freeze them for a special frozen treat.  To stay fit we have tried doing Yoga as a family and it’s fun to watch the kids try the poses.  The kids soon got bored with it so my husband and I wait till they are in bed to do our yoga.  It’s also a nice way to wind down the day and relax.  My husband and I also have Trikke’s and this is our new way of getting exercise while the kids ride their bikes.

Check out this video of Nancy O’Dell talking about the importance of a Healthy Lifestyle.

Yoplait also has a Facebook Fan page where you can see Nancy’s tips and updates on staying healthy.
