HEALTHY EATING
More and more emphasis is being put on healthy eating choices – both in our homes and in our schools.
Healthy eating means making conscious choices in regards to regular eating habits, including snack choices. Snacks can be perfectly healthy for kids and adults. Many people think snack foods mean foods that aren’t nutritious, but snacks can be very healthy! Healthy snacks are a great way to provide your body with valuable energy, nutrients and vitamins, they can help refuel your body, can help keep your mind alert and provide you with a great energy boost!
The key to healthy snacking is making healthy choices and being conscious of portion control and moderation. When these factors are taken into consideration, snacking can be a pleasurable and healthy experience.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EATING
School programs throughout the country are encouraging active, healthy living lifestyles for children and youth.
The Ontario Physical and Health Education Association believes that “school communities are the catalysts in building the commitment and capacity of all children and youth to lead active healthy lives.” As part of Ontario’s Action Plan for Healthy Eating and Active Living, programs and strategies have been developed to support healthy eating and active living, and the Living School initiative brings together entire school communities to support and enhance healthy living for children and youth.
