Welcome to

MODULE 1: Mindful (Eating) Behaviors — Being conscious of where food comes from, what we are eating, and why.

Take-home tip: Eat dinner as a family with the TV/radio/cell phones on silent. Talk about the food you are eating, and how/why it is important to eat healthy.

MODULE 2: Fruits & Vegetables — Increasing the consumption of fruits, vegetables and the willingness to try new foods.

Take-home tip: Pick one new fruit or vegetable to try each week. Once you’ve tried them all, explore different ways to cook them!

MODULE 3: Food Labels & Marketing — Equipping students with knowledge related to nutrition information and food marketing techniques.

Take-home tip: Look at the different food ads seen on TV/online, and discuss why the food is good to eat or why you might want to consider a different food option.

MODULE 4: Water — Reinforce the benefits of drinking water daily and increase knowledge related to alternative sources of water.

Take-home tip: Drink water in a fun, refreshing way. Take a pitcher of water, add some fruits and veggies (such as a lemon and/or cucumber), and let water soak for an hour. Enjoy with ice!

MODULE 5: Physical Activity — Teaching the importance of living an active lifestyle and guiding students towards participating in at least 1 hour of physical activity daily.

Take-home tip: One day a week, pick a fun family outing that includes some physical activity, such as a morning hike, a mid-day bike ride, or an after-dinner walk around the neighborhood!

Did you know?

• Kids should be active for 60 minutes each day.

• Physical activity is not just good for your body, it’s good for your mood, too!

• Exercising while you’re young helps your bones stay strong.

• The more physically active you are, the healthier you may be.

• You should drink water before, during and after being physically active.

Get Active!

• Make time (about 60 minutes) each day to be active. Remember, all minutes of physical activity add up—every little bit helps!

• It can be fun. Play games like Hide and Seek, Freeze Tag or have a Dance Party at home.

• Take family walks a few times a week. You can take your dog if you have one.

• Simple chores like yardwork and gardening are great forms of physical activity.

• Take your water bottle with you. It’s important to replenish the water we lose.
