WHY IS DIET AND EXERCISE IMPORTANT?
There is a STRONG connection between food, physical activity and health. Taking proper care of one’s health (physical and mental) is important- even at your age!
FACTS:

Taking care of our bodies by eating right and exercising is very important to leading a long and medically trouble-free life.  Being overweight has profound health implications.  Obesity, or being very overweight, significantly increases a person’s risk of many life threatening conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and some types of cancer. 

Obesity is a preventable problem.  However, two-thirds of American adults are overweight.  Childhood obesity is at an all-time high.  This is more than just a cosmetic concern.  Ultimately, obesity can be life threatening. 

The good news is that even a small weight loss, if necessary, can bring improvements in health.  Often this can be accomplished by combining healthier eating patterns (your “diet”) with more active behavior. 

In this project, we are going to learn about different types of foods, analyze some of the foods we eat, investigate diseases that are closely associated with being overweight, and rewrite a favorite family recipe to make it healthier.

Your objective/goal in this project is to learn how to make wise choices about food and exercise. Your goal is to become a healthy adult who does not have pay thousands of dollars and spend hours in doctor’s offices or hospitals for diseases such as diabetes, cancer and depression.
By the end of this lesson, you will understand what “physical activity” means. In addition, you will know how to analyze the nutritional information of food and think of ways to improve your diet (“diet” refers to eating habits in general, whether they are unhealthy or healthy). Furthermore, you will gain experience researching information and presenting it to your class.
Your grade will be based on these ten components (ten points each for a total of 100 points):
