Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Best to go simple and to the fact!. Give the heroes powers that relate that what they do for your body, the more you should eat of a certain group, the stronger they are, they can argue sometimes, but when they work together, they create a dream team!Www@QuestionHome@Com

1 Choose a subject for your piece that gives you a surge of energy!. Are your emotions invested in this project!? If not, look for a new subject or a fresh idea!. A less-than-interesting topic will make the best of writers feel blocked!.


Step 2 Free associate!. Sometimes a writer's tendency toward perfectionism stops him dead cold in his tracks!. Give yourself 15 minutes to be totally free of your "inner critic!." Set a timer and start typing - write whatever pops into your head, even if it is total gibberish, a shopping list, words that rhyme - whatever!. The idea is to get your creative juices flowing!. Some writers do this exercise every day before they begin writing!.


Step 3 Read the work of your favorite writer!. There is nothing like inspired, well-composed prose to make you want to pick up a pen (or put your fingers on a keyboard)!.


Step 4 Think of your project as a pizza - eat one piece at a time!. It is overwhelming for any writer to see a big project as a "whole" immediately!. Start with one small section!. When you finish that piece, you will feel encouraged to move on to the next!.


Step 5 Exercise!. Go for a brisk walk around the block, do yoga, ride your bike or use your treadmill whenever you feel blocked with your writing!. Physical activity increases the blood flow to the brain and releases nervous tension!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Write "healthy eating and fitness" over and over again on a peice of paper in a room by yourself!. Carry on writing it until something comes into your head and just write that down, no matter what it is, just write it!

You'll be surpised :]

good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

How about this a super hero called Health Man and he works-out alot and eats healthy (salad veg!. and fruit etc!.) then he defeats a super villian that eats only junk food and is a couch potato!. then he teaches the villian how to live a life of health to live long and feel good!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can tell them to wear different clothing-like for different foods!. all yellow for yellow fruits/foods, all red for apples,etc!.

OR have them wear a name tag saying the food group!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sleep on it!. Take it easy in leisure!. Just relax, and your mind will do the rest!. Read some things about your subject!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
