    Lack of access to nutritious food can effect a community by leading to increased health risks, less access to food, and poverty. Having access to nutritious food helps a community become more resilient by increasing the general health of a community so that they can better focus on other important things in their lives.

    Nature Go for a Daily Walk
    How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

    When walking, I found that I could more closely observe my surroundings and enjoy nature more. When outside of the barrier a car or house creates, you become part of nature and feel a stronger connection to it.

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I already take walks outside and ride my bike outdoors as exercise so I think I have the nature part pretty well covered, but I could also invite my friends to come with me to get some social interaction in.

    My favorite activities are riding my bike and going on walks outside my house. I did those things the most often to exercise during this challenge (and went overboard almost every day).
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Eat Mindfully
    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

    I don't think my experiences differed too much when I ate without my phone. I was just bored for the meals I ate alone. I can't really think of any major differences.
