How You Can Help Shape Our Young Children/Adult Lifestyle Habits
The GoalIn order to improve the health, nutritional well-being and
academic performance of North Carolina's students, we must coordinate a detailed nutrition policy that enhances the teacher’s classrooms, our kids selection in the cafeteria, their home life with parents/guardians, their community environment that will support lifelong healthful eating habits.
It begins and ends with us, our teachers, parents, and school officials.

The Current Trend of Obesity Obesity is a major and rapidly
growing global public health concern
Obesity is significantly associated with morbidity and mortality
In the past three decades, obesity has tripled among adolescents and more than doubled among 20–39 year olds in the U.S. (Boone, Gordon-Larsen, Adair and, Popkin, 2007)
Increase in weight gain due to a decline in physical activity occurs in the transition from adolescence to young adult.

Where Does It Start?A Balanced Lifestyle
“Calories In, Energy Out” Support and encourage physical activity in the curriculum beyond
P.E. that help burn calories Walking – Lunch walk teams, Encourage parents to walk with their kids to
school Sports – Afterschool sport activities, i.e. dodge ball, volleyball, track and
field. Bicycling – Fitness rooms Encourage our kids to be physically active for 60 minutes each day or
almost every day (CDC, 2010) At Home
76% of all meals are prepared at home (FDA, 2010) Parents can help the initiative by including their kids in meal
selection and use the pyramid as a tool to encourage fun activities you can do as a family.

CONCLUSION “Eat Healthy Be Healthy”
“Live Healthy For A Better Life”
While childhood obesity cannot be solved overnight, with all of us, teachers, school administration and parents working together, there’s no question that it can be solved — and today’s vote to support this healthy menu campaign for North Carolina’s school systems, moves us one step closer to reaching that goal
Lets remember what research has told us, there is a rising trend of obesity in our children. The imbalance within peoples dietary choice is having profound impact on our children lives now and for many more in the future. We must balance this not only with fundamental educational teaching, but incorporate physical activity and nutrition in our classroom, school policies and home life.
We are the role models, teachers, and supporters. Research has given us a pretty good understanding of the causes of these rising obesity trends due to an imbalance within people's dietary choices. By educating all of you here today, we can make a difference in our children’s live in every daily aspect.
REMEMBER IT STARTS WITH US! WE CAN CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES.
BE A VOICE!
