The Brown Family Health Blog

Hi, I'm Mrs. Brown. I want to share how my family stays healthy. My son Tom often has a headache after school. I think it's because he doesn't drink enough water. I tell him to drink more.

My daughter Lisa got a stomachache last night. She ate a lot of candy quickly. Sometimes she gets an injury from playing soccer, but not today. We all do exercise together on weekends. It gives us energy for the week.

I believe that small habits make a big difference. If you eat well and sleep enough, you won't have many problems. How does your family stay healthy?
