Activity & Eating
Help your high school students understand the essential connection between being physically active, making healthful food choices and maintaining long-term good health. A PowerPoint presentation and accompanying script will help you walk high school students through the eight-page Activity & Eating workbook.
The workbook was created using a behavior-change model that encourages healthy-eating behaviors and attitudes in your students. Students apply problem-solving, reasoning and critical-thinking techniques to their own individual habits and set goals for improvement.
Activity & Eating provides high school students with the essential nutrition concepts about:
- Identifying hunger cues
- Making small changes to maintain a healthy weight
- Learning the importance of breakfast for a healthy weight and energy
- Choosing healthy meals and snacks when rushed or dining out
- Using hand symbols to eat appropriate serving sizes
- Categorizing foods into food groups to choose the recommended amount of nutrient-rich foods
- How physical activity boosts heart rate, builds muscle and bones
Teachers successfully implement Activity & Eating in a variety of high school subjects like Science, English, Health and Physical Education.
