Viewers learn how to develop a healthy lifestyle instead of a healthy diet, combining sensible eating with regular exercise. Program explains the new Food Pyramid, encouraging students to use the new guidelines to personalize their own pyramid. Three major recommendations include: staying within your calorie or energy needs, being more active, and making wiser food choices. The relationship between the amount of food the body needs, the amount taken in, and the amount of calories burned for energy, illustrates how a person puts on excess weight and how to avoid this problem. On-the-street interviews with kids point out the need for serious education on this crucial subject. |
