2. Does it really make a difference what we eat or drink everyday? Does it make a difference if we exercise routinely? Think of your body as the only vehicle you will ever own to get around in. Would you treat that vehicle carelessly? Would you put the cheapest low quality fuel in it? Would you ignore trouble signs or never take it in for a check-up or inspection? If you can’t get another vehicle……… you REALLY need to take care of the one you have!  Does it really make a difference what we eat or drink everyday?  Does it make a difference if we exercise routinely?

5. Nutrition Facts labels were designed by our government to tell us the most important information about packaged foods. Remember calories (fuel) are essential for our bodies to function, for activity, and for growth. This is why calorie values are required on the label. The calorie value must be related to a suggested serving size. This is why serving sizes must be clearly stated. 1. SERVING SIZE All the values on the label relate to the stated serving size. Pay attention to the weight of a serving- it will help when you are comparing products. 2. SERVINGS PER CONTAINER This number tells the consumer how many suggested servings are present in the package. 3. CALORIES PER SERVING The calories in a serving must be stated on Nutrition Facts near the top of the label.

6.  Exercise plays a big part in ___________________________________________.  Extra calories we consume are stored as body fat. Some stored fat is healthy but too much has serious health consequences. Obesity is a growing problem among children and adults.  Exercise has many health benefits besides weight control. It builds and tones muscles, especially our heart muscle, improves our mood, lung function, and makes us more flexible.

7. CHOOSE HIGH QUALITY FUEL! CHOOSE QUALITY CALORIES! High quality calories come from foods rich in positive NUTRIENTS! Nutrients are: essential chemical substances found in foods and beverages.

8. 1.___________________ 2.___________________ 3.___________________ 4.___________________ 5.___________________ 6.___________________ The 45 nutrients fit into 6 main groups: The human body needs over 45 different nutrients, and they are called “essential” because we cannot make them internally and they are necessary in some way to our health. We need more of some than of others, and some can be over-consumed and actually harm us. The 45 nutrients fit into 6 main groups: Three groups can provide fuel or calories: ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ Vitamins Minerals Carbohydrates Water How do nutrients get out of food and into our body? Vitamins Minerals Fats Water Protein Vitamins Minerals Carbohydrates Protein 2 The human body needs over 45 different nutrients, and they are called “essential” because we cannot make them internally and they are necessary in some way to our health. Some nutrients are involved in chemical reactions in the body, some growth and repair, and some for energy or fuel. We need more of some than of others, and some can be over-consumed and actually harm us.

10. The government feels that besides calorie and serving size information, we should be aware of some, but not every nutrient that is in our packaged food. There are certain nutrients that we need to be cautious with. In excess they can cause our bodies harm. Those “caution” nutrients must be on the label. There are certain positive nutrients that we tend to skip or not get enough of. They are VERY healthful! Those “go get’em” nutrients must be on the label. 1 _______________ 2 _______________ 3 _______________ 4 _______________ 5 _______________ 6 _______________ 1 _______________ 2 _______________ 3 _______________ 4 _______________ 5 _______________ 6 _______________ 8 COMPANIES CAN APPLY FOR EXCEPTIONS TO LEAVE OFF “GO GET’EMS” OR “CAUTIONS” BUT THEY MUST PROVE THE VALUES WOULD HAVE BEEN ZERO.

11. QUESTIONS FOR THE DAY LABELS: REVIEW QUESTIONS True or False ____1. Nutrition Facts must state a serving size. All other values relate to eating that suggested serving size. ____2.
