It advises kids to get at least an hour of exercise every day. This could include running, biking，playing sports and many other outdoor activities. More and more research shows that exercise not only helps the body, but also helps the brain. Besides, doing sports helps kids to make friends.

Well, my parents wanted me to study medicine or economics at university, but at the time I thought law might open more doors, so that's what I did. But life doesn't always work out the way you plan IT. After college, I spent one year in south amErica where I fell in love with growing coco beans. IT is not an easy job because coco beans can be easily affected by weather, much more than other fruit like apples or bananas. In fact, the beans are more like grapes, so each years crop is of a different quality. When I came home, I decided to open a small shop making and selling my own chocolate. That was hard work, I can tell you, because so much can go wrong with chocolate. The hardest bit is melting IT in the right way, but cooling IT correctly isn't easy either.
