To the Max: Understanding the New Diet and Exercise Guidelines
PRODUCT DETAILS
One-fourth of all school-age children are overweight and one-eighth are obese, making excess weight the most common problem facing today’s youth. This fast-paced and entertaining video shows young elementary students how they can begin to improve their health by eating smarter, eating smaller portions, exercising more, and understanding basic information about nutrition and food labeling. In one sequence, viewers follow a typical fifth grader as they fast forward through his day of super-sized fast food, too much TV and video games, and little exercise. Special attention is directed to understanding the new dietary guidelines, food labeling information, and fat burning exercise. Program includes 14-minute video and teacher’s resource book. Closed captioned. Grades 3-6. Copyright 2002.
