Food Choices for a Healthier Future
We know healthy food choices set the foundation for an active and successful life. This presentation illustrates how choosing more nutrient dense meals can help a person feel healthier and more energized, and addresses the connection between diet and disease. The presentation provides a foundational understanding of nutrition, based on the most up-to-date nutrition science. Addressing unhealthy influences and powerful food corporations, students learn how to analyze sources of nutrition information and build healthy meals. We also explore athletic performance and a variety of healthy protein sources. The presentation integrates consideration for environment and wildlife, to give students a holistic view of our food system and engage with them about issues they care deeply about.
This presentation connects to California’s Health Education Standards, including Analyzing Influences, Nutrition & Physical Activity, and Practicing Health- Enhancing Behaviors.
