Healthy Happy Me! ™
is a
nutrition fitness
program designed to teach fundamental dietary concepts in a fun, and captivating way to elementary school children. The program has several modules, each approximately 50 – 60 minutes long and includes
interactive dialogue in a simple, engaging format
for impressing
on the minds of young students the importance of consuming healthy nutritional foods.
The primary target group for
Healthy Happy Me! ™ is kindergarten through fifth graders in classroom settings or afterschool programs. It is believed that impacting the developing intellect of children in this age range with vital information that helps them to establish healthier eating and lifestyle practices will initiate positive habits that can last a lifetime.
Current nutrition fitness modules offered to elementary school students:
- Grow Foods Grow Healthy Bodies - making a distinction between "grow" foods (natural, whole foods) and "slow" foods (processed foods); and how each food type makes a difference in the way they feel.
- Eating Colors of the Rainbow - discovering that the colors of natural produce have a role in helping them become healthy; and the importance of eating a rainbow of colors every day.
- Sugar Tales -
finding out how much sugar is really in snacks they love; and the potential harm of consuming too much sugar (i.e. Type 2 diabetes)
- What Makes a Junk Food Junk - learning about many of the additives that are in processed foods; and understanding the basics of reading a label to look for artificial ingredients
Also available, is a corresponding workshop to provide teachers and parents with facts, information and ideas for reinforcing the concepts that children learn in the
Healthy Happy Me! ™ nutrition fitness modules.
