Feeding your Family Fit
The PTO wishes all our Fort Banks families a Happy Thanksgiving. As we all relax after Thanksgiving with our tummies full, think about how we should feed our families the rest of the year. Feeding Your Family Fit is a talk hosted by Move Fitness.
Feeding Your Family Fit
Presentation by Jenine Wright, M.A., Exercise Physiologist, Nutrition
Educator Specialist
"Let food be thy medicine, thy
medicine shall be thy food"
̶ Hippocrates
Changing a few products on your shopping list may be your
prevention against illness/disease, neurological disorders and obesity.
· Are
you providing healthy options for your family?
· Are
you a slave to marketing and purchase a product because it makes you feel
that you are providing your family with good nutrition?
·
Are you concerned with health issues,
disciplinary issues and diseases that could be affected by the food that you
are eating?
|
|||||
Come find out why products such as
"NutriGrain" bars and “Gogurts” may not be providing your
family with what you may think.
|
|||||
Eating habits are learned behaviors,
so what you teach your children to eat early in life sticks with them well
into adulthood. With the obesity epidemic in children, high rates
of childhood diseases, allergies, disciplinary problems and developmental
disorders it is time to educate yourself on what may help to prevent
these serious issues.
|
|||||
With a strong belief that "you
are what you eat," Jenine will discuss what you should look for
when reading labels of your favorite foods. Learn the difference between
buying organic and buying conventional and if there is a way to live a
healthier lifestyle without going bankrupt. Tips on healthy snacks and lunch
ideas and how to make even the not so good decisions a little better.
