Since farmers are in the business of producing nutritious foods, we want to make sure that students are equipped with the know-how of fueling their bodies in the proper way for optimal health.
Team Nutrition with the United States Department of Agriculture is helping teachers and parents celebrate National Nutrition Month by providing a number of MyPlate lessons, resources, games, and tools to teach healthy eating and physical activity.
We have also provided a number of other
nutrition resources on our
#teachkyag web site from our partners, such as Eat to Win Kentucky.
National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The theme for 2015 is "Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle," which encourages everyone to adopt eating and physical activity plans that are focused on consuming fewer calories, making informed food choices and getting daily exercise in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote overall health.
