Increasing physical activity and improving nutrition have been identified as two of the greatest challenges currently facing Americans. About three-fourths of the population has an eating pattern that is low in vegetables, fruits, dairy and most Americans exceed the recommendations for added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence has been linked to healthy bones and muscles, improved blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased self-esteem. Establishing healthy eating and physical activity habits in childhood is key to improving the health of our population. Child care providers are in a unique position to facilitate the development of healthy habits. In this session, we will show you some fun and simple ways to incorporate nutrition education and physical activity into the child care setting. Presented in English.
