Resource The Michigan Team Nutrition Booklist contains the annotations for over 300 books about food, healthy eating, and physical activity for children in pre-school through third grade. If you’re reading this introduction, chances are you’re probably interested in nutrition, physical activity, reading or a combination of all three. That’s great. Teaching children to read, teaching children how to choose and eat healthy foods, and teaching children to have fun being physically active are very important jobs. Thanks for your commitment! Nutrition educators can use the books on the Michigan Team Nutrition Booklist to… · Introduce children to the Food Guide Pyramid and the Physical Activity Pyramid; · Create enthusiasm for learning about and tasting new foods; · Teach children about the food, food customs, and physical activity habits of others around the world; · Motivate children to be physically active and to enjoy physical activity; · Integrate nutrition and physical activity education into core subjects including reading/lan- guage arts, social studies, math, and science. Who is the Booklist for? This booklist is for teachers, Extension staff members, dietitians, nutritionists, health educators, Comprehensive School Health Education Coordinators, school nurses, librarians, parents, school foodservice staff members or anyone interested in reading, learning about healthy foods, and growing up healthy. Read On! Michigan Team Nutrition Booklist Page 1 Introduction Children’s Eating and Physical Activity Habits are Not What They Should Be… Did you know…? On any given day, less than 15% of school children eat the recommended servings of fruits; less than 20% eat the recommended servings of vegetables; less than 25% eat the recommended servings of grains, and only 30% consume the recommended milk group servings. (1) Of young people ages 6-17, 64% eat too much total fat, and 68% eat too much saturated fat. (1) Teenagers today drink twice as much carbonated soda as milk and only 19% of girls ages 9-19 meet the recommended intake for calcium. (1) The percentage of children and adolescents who are overweight has more than doubled in the past 30 years; most of the increase has occurred since the late 1970s. (1) Over one-half of the children at the highest weight percentiles will persist in being heavy into young adulthood. (2) The percentage of students who attended a daily physical education class dropped from 42% in 1991 to 27% in 1997. (1) Between 1977 and 1995, the number of walking and bicycling trips made by children ages 5-15 dropped by 40%. (3) Children ages 2-18 spend an average of four hours a day watching television or videotapes, playing video games, or using a computer. (4) References: 1. Food and Nutrition Service. (2000).

  • Cultural Perceptions of a Healthy Diet and Healthy Weight Among Rural Appalachian Youth
    CULTURAL PERCEPTIONS OF A HEALTHY DIET AND HEALTHY WEIGHT AMONG RURAL APPALACHIAN YOUTH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelli J. Williams, MA ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Robert Lawson, Co-Advisor ______________________________ Professor Christopher Taylor, Co-Advisor ______________________________ Professor Kay Wolf Advisors College of Education ABSTRACT Youth in rural Appalachia are at a disproportionately greater risk for obesity and related health complications than the general population. Inadequate physical activity and poor dietary habits are two primary causes of obesity in West Virginia adolescents. To design and implement regional nutrition interventions combating overweight, adolescent perceptions of a healthy diet and healthy weight needed to be identified in rural Appalachia. Adolescents were recruited in four West Virginia schools from ninth grade health and physical education classes. Sixteen rural Appalachian adolescents, ranging in age from 14-18 years participated in the study. Focus group interviews were conducted with West Virginia adolescents and their caregivers. Grounded theory was used to develop questions addressing specific domains of interest. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed to assess cultural perceptions of a healthy diet and healthy weight. Participants defined healthy diets through statements relating to federal and professional dietary recommendations, including an increased intake of vegetables and fruits while consuming diets low in fat. Specific foods were commonly described to be either healthy or unhealthy. Vegetables and fruits were cited most often as healthy foods, while snack foods, soda, chips, and pizza were not considered to be part of a healthy diet.

  • Awareness, Understanding, and Usage of My Pyramid in College
    AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, AND USAGE OF MYPYRAMID IN COLLEGE STUDENTS Mara Lee Beebe A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES May 2010 Committee: Younghee Kim, Advisor Pricilla Coleman Jie Wu ABSTRACT Younghee Kim, Advisor Background. Since the release of the MyPyramid food guidance system in 2005, there has not been any research conducted to assess the knowledge and usage of this important educational tool among college students. The objectives of this study were to assess (1) college students‟ awareness of the MyPyramid, (2) college students‟ perceived understanding of the new components of the MyPyramid and new method of measuring serving sizes, (3) college students‟ usage of the MyPyramid.gov website, (4) college students‟ usage of MyPyramid as a dietary guide, and (5) the relationship of demographic factors with awareness, understanding, usage, and practice of MyPyramid. Methods. A self-reported quantitative and qualitative online questionnaire was used to collect the data from college students. A recruitment email was used to invite students to participate in the study. Students accessed the questionnaire through a website. Results. A total of 2,687 students participated in the study. Fifty-six percent of students surveyed, and only 29% of students who were aware of MyPyramid had visited the website. Students reported high levels of perceived understanding for both the MyPyramid messages and the changes in serving size measurement. Students reported low levels of utilization of the MyPyramid; only 21% used the MyPyramid as a guide and only 39% tried to reflect MyPyramid in their food choices frequently or almost always.

  • Mypyramid Tips for Healthy Eating
    Competencies: 1A, 1C, 2A, 2B, 2E, 4, 5B MyPyramid Tips for Healthy Eating Parents, Selecting and preparing foods that will give your children all the nutrients they need is a big responsibility. MyPyramid is a great tool to help you make good food choices for your whole family. Where have you seen MyPyramid? Have you used MyPyramid? If so, how? What is the message of MyPyramid? The key message of the food guide pyramid is variety. Try to eat foods from all of the food groups every day. There are no “good” foods or “bad” foods. Healthy diets depend on choosing a wide variety of foods of all types: grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, and milk products. FAMILY HANDOUTS — WORKSHOP 1 University of California Cooperative ExtensionFamily Workshop - Food Stamp 1 Overview Nutrition Education — Go, Glow, Program Grow 1 P-1 MyPyramid How is MyPyramid divided? MyPyramid is divided into five major food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, milk, and meat. Each of the food groups provides some, but not all of the nutrients needed each day. No one food group is more important than another. Good health requires a variety of foods from all the food groups. Each of the food groups is a different color. The thin yellow line represents oil. To simplify MyPyramid for preschoolers, we discuss it by grouping foods according to what they do for us. • Foods - The grain group provides the body with energy. It is the base of MyPyramid and the foundation of a healthy diet. • Foods - The fruit and vegetable groups supply the body with vitamins and minerals to keep the body healthy and functioning properly.
