NUTRITION FOR LIFE

SMART SNACK STANDARDS IN SCHOOLS

STOP candy and junk food rewards for kids — here's free information about where and how to get started!

Mrs. Obama"Many parents are working hard every day to make sure they provide healthy, balanced meals and snacks to their kids. Unfortunately, we don’t always have control over the snacks our kids have access to when they’re away from home. That’s why, as a mom myself, I am so excited that schools will now be offering healthier choices to students and reinforcing the work we do at home to help our kids stay healthy."
Join with Michelle Obama on Twitter.com

The "Smart Snacks In School" nutrition standard offers:

  1. More of the foods we should encourage.
  2. Less of the foods we should avoid.
  3. Targeted beverage standards allowing variation by age group.
  4. Flexibility for important traditions.
  5. Ample time for implementation.

NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & OBESITY

Reducing Obesity and Chronic Diseases During Childhood

"More than 1/3 of U.S. children and adolescents are overweight or obese."
-CDC.gov statistic

Schools play a critical role in improving the dietary and physical activity behaviors of children and adolescents.

Each day, the nation's nearly 133,000 schools provide an opportunity for 55 million students to learn about health and develop the skills that promote healthy behaviors.

HEALTHY CHILDREN LIFESTYLE

Schools can create environments that are supportive of students' efforts to eat healthily and be active by implementing policies and practices that support healthy eating and regular physical activity. In addition, schools provide opportunities for students to learn about healthy lifestyle choices and to practice healthy behaviors.

IMPORTANT RISK FACTORS

  1. A number of risk factors contribute to obesity, including:
  2. Lack of physical activity,
  3. Unhealthy diet,
  4. Sedentary lifestyle, and
  5. Environmental factors.

Given the number of hours children spend at school, the school environment can have a significant influence on children's diets.

Engaging students in healthy eating and regular physical activity can help lower their risk for obesity and related chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and stroke; the three leading causes of death among adults aged 18 years or older.

Reversing the obesity epidemic requires a long-term, well-coordinated approach to reach young people where they live, learn, and play. Schools are key partners in this effort.
