This up-to-date program follows the USDA’s latest Dietary Guidelines and introduces the new MyPlate concept—a brand-new graphic representation of the five food groups which visually helps teens understand the importance of appropriate portion sizes and nutrient-rich food choices. Viewers learn many easy-to-follow strategies for life-long health such as eating less, making at least half of their plate fruits and vegetables, cutting down on salt, drinking more water and making exercise a daily habit. The program emphasizes that a healthy diet should not mean cutting calories, but instead is centered around making the most beneficial food choices while avoiding an excess of salt, sugar and fats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W2S4pwY6vmU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVideo\u003cbr\u003eTeacher’s resource book\u003cbr\u003eStudent handouts and pre\/post tests in digital format\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduced by Human Relations Media, Inc.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LifeSkills Training","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49396774240534,"sku":null,"price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/2078\/7990\/files\/Healthy-Eating-299x250.png?v=1736886153"},{"product_id":"myplate-you-learning-about-nutrition-health-exercise","title":"MyPlate \u0026 You: Learning about Nutrition, Health \u0026 Exercise","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca\u003e‹ BACK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrades:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e3 – 6\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRunning Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Arial12pt\"\u003eThis fast-paced and entertaining program conforms with the newest USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released in January, 2011.
