Coming Soon – Obesity Prevention Kit
LearntobeHealthy.org is excited to announce the launch of a new obesity prevention e-Learning kit focusing on both physical activity and nutrition! Featuring a field day theme, the kit is scheduled to be released this summer and will include menu planning, case studies, food label analysis, body image collages, the FITT (frequency, intensity, time and type) principle, and more.

Dairy Council Activities
With childhood obesity rates on the rise, how can we work to improve the health of our youth? The USDA Food Guide Pyramid and 3-A-Day of Dairy nutrition education programs encourage 3 servings of dairy every day. The new Dairy Council activities found in the Fueling My Special Body e-Learning kit aim to increase dairy consumption, while students discover the benefits of dairy.
