October 22nd is National Nut Day! Although not one of the more well-known days of celebration, it is still a time where fun can be had an lessons can be learned.
One popular activity on this day is the “Peanut Toss Game.” The way to play is to procure a few cans of peanuts and empty them all into one big bowl. Then label each of the cans with a number. Usually 1 through 5 is sufficient, but you can change things up as much as you want. Then you have the participant try to toss that many peanuts into the can. So if you were aiming at the can labeled “3,” you would put three peanuts in your hand and try to toss all of them in at the same time. It can be a lot of fun!
In addition, many lessons can be learned about nuts on this day. For example, did you know that almonds have been listed by many reputable sources as a “super food?” They are jam packed with heart-friendly fats, fiber, and antioxidants. These are an important food to include in your diet as antioxidants help to remove free radicals from the body. Free radicals are known to be intricately associated with the formation of cancer.
If you feel that you are antioxidant deficient, OVitaminPro.com does have a number of products that can help increase the levels within your body. Our Antioxidant support supplements come in a variety of application methods, so make sure you find the one that is right for you.
Love the “toss your nuts” game, Dr. Dan. What a clever way to have fun (for all ages) yet learn some good health tips! I work in retirement living and this would have been great activity. I’ve marked this observation date in my calendar for next year. I’m going to pass it on to my niece who is an elementary school teacher too.
