Superhero Nutrition! Help us build a system to produce an awesome hero!

Hello Everyone!

Looking at our Universal Systems Model, what would we have to list as the INPUTS into a system designed to produce as its OUTPUT the BEST SUPERHERO EVER?

We have identified the some of the key INPUTS we need for an OUTPUT of good health, such as sleep, hygiene, diet/nutrition, exercise, air quality, and mindfulness. But, what do these things specifically do for the human body? Today we are doing a group think and trying to figure out what do these things do! You can respond to this blog entry with your ideas from the brainstorm we did on the board. Everyone needs to provide at least one!

Here are some websites to consider as you do this. Some websites are easier to read than others, so always ask yourself — is this website the best for me? Do I really understand what I am reading? Could I ask questions about the part I don’t understand? (Am I just copying something down, or do I really understand what I am reading????)
