Lesson 6: How Teens Make Smart Nutrition Choices: Teens Brainstorm Obstacles to Health and Nutrition

Описание: Most of us, including teens, know that we should eat healthy and make better exercise choices. However, obstacles such as budget and long lunch lines can get in the way of healthy teen nutrition choices. This video is part of a nutrition lesson for middle school students from Dairy Council of California called Exercise Your Options (More information and materials at http://www.healthyeating.org/EYO). In this video, we follow a few teens around as they move around their food day. Each confronts a unique food challenge such as a budget constraint, a long cafeteria line, or even a somewhat sedentary parent. The video is an excellent discussion prompt for high school and/or junior high school teachers teaching teen nutrition. Watch the video and see common obstacles to good teen nutrition and/or health, and brainstorm ways around those obstacles to eat healthy and make better nutrition choices as young adults. Small steps can make big differences in teen healthy eating!
