QUESTION: My kids refuse to eat spinach. How can I prepare it in a way that might appeal to a finicky eater?
ANSWER: First, it’s important to note that spinach is a healthy, dark, leafy, green vegetable that is full of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, folate, fiber, phosphorus, thiamine, and vitamins A, C, and K.
Also considered a superfood, spinach, as part of a healthy, balanced diet, is important for skin, hair and bone health. Additionally, spinach can help improve blood glucose control in people with diabetes, and it lowers the risk of cancer, improves bone health, and can promote digestive regularity.

As the weather warms up, more Ohioans will swim, bike and hike but a pest the size of a poppy seed can ruin your fun.
What You Need To Know
The mild winter will make ticks more numerous this year
Tick-borne illnesses can be serious and even deadly
Ohio is recently home to two newer ticks
Ticks are starting to show up in more habitats
Even though we had a cold February, a very mild and snow-free March has allowed tick season to start early.
As the weather warms and draws people to the water, tests are about to begin on a new technique for killing off harmful algal blooms in Ohio’s streams and lakes.
The technology being tested creates ozone and injects it into a waterway in the form of microscopic bubbles. Once in the water, the ozone can kill unwanted algae, destroy toxins, and boost oxygen levels, said Heather Raymond, director of the Water Quality Initiative at The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).
When these tiny bubbles of ozone called “nanobubbles” burst in the water, they produce hydroxyl radicals and peroxides. Those substances can further destroy harmful algae and possibly help cut off the algae’s food supply, thus preventing future blooms.
