9/4/2018 4:04 PM Good Nutrition Which food options are essential for good health? Having this up as kids come in is a great settle down activity.

4 9/4/2018 4:04 PM Good Nutrition Which food options are essential for good health? 1 Thinking List ten of your favorite foods. Which would you consider the healthiest? Do you think your choices would be included among other healthy foods? 2 Web Search What makes a food “healthy”? 3 Search for foods that are widely accepted as healthy. Do you eat any of these foods regularly? Are there any foods on this list that you would like to try? 4 Find a recipe for a healthy meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) that you would like to try. 5 Why might it be important for a person your age to think carefully about nutrition? There are a couple of ways to use this slide, depending on how much technology you have in your classroom. You can have students find answers on their own, divide them into teams to have them do all the questions competitively, or have each team find the answer to a different question and then come back together. If you’re doing teams, it is often wise to assign them roles (one person typing, one person who is in charge of sharing back the answer, etc.) © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

(Possible Search Queries: “what makes food healthy”) From Livestrong ( Good Carbs for Energy About half of your dietary calories in a healthy diet should come from carbohydrates. Good sources of healthy carbs are whole-grain foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. Whole-grain breads, cereals and pastas, as well as brown rice, contain complex carbs that supply long-lasting energy, because they take longer for your body to process. Fruits and veggies supply quick energy with simple carbs that must be renewed daily, and they don't have the empty calories, sugars and sodium found in processed snacks. Fiber for Proper Digestion You need plenty of fiber for proper digestion, which is found in fresh produce as well as whole-grain foods. MayoClinic.com states that for a 2000 calories-per-day diet, you need about 38 g of fiber to stimulate bowel function and keep your digestive system healthy. Processed foods and refined-flour bread and cereal products remove healthy dietary fiber during milling. Even if white bread and processed cereals state they are enriched with extra vitamins and minerals, they still lack necessary fiber. Protein for Muscle Health Good protein will supply the building blocks for strong muscles without endangering your health with too much cholesterol-building fat. The Harvard School of Public Health states that you will get plenty of protein from fish with much less fat than that found in red meat. Other healthy, low-fat sources of protein include poultry, nuts, seeds and legumes. Fatty fish such as salmon, trout and herring also supply heart- healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamins and Minerals Get your vitamins and minerals in abundance by eating fresh fruit and veggies. MayoClinic.com states that by beginning a food shopping trip in the fresh produce aisle, you will prioritize full nutrition. Select a full spectrum of colors in fruits and veggies, and you will get a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. Fresh, whole foods are a better source of nutrition, water-soluble vitamins and minerals than relying on artificial supplements. Low-fat dairy products supply fat-soluble vitamins A, K, D and E as well as calcium for strong bones. © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
