About This Lesson
Back-to-school is a great time to talk to students about making choices that will help lead to lifelong health-promoting habits. These activities will reinforce the importance of choosing balanced meals rich in lean protein, vitamins, and minerals based on USDA MyPlate dietary guidelines. The CDC has found evidence linking healthy eating and physical activity with academic achievement.
