The best way to help lower your blood cholesterol level is to eat less saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, and control your weight (The American Heart Association, 1997)........... As a result, many nutrition education programs have been developed. Goals of these programs are often to provide information and ultimately to change participants' dietary behaviors.

Extractions: FOOD SERVICE This chapter describes the Nutrition Services Department operations of the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) in the following areas: Public schools should provide appealing and nutritional breakfasts and lunches to elementary and secondary students in an economical manner. Nutritional food choices are critical to the success of any school district's nutrition services program because good dietary habits are clearly linked to high academic performance and lifelong individual and group satisfaction. BACKGROUND In Managing Child Nutrition Programs: Leadership for Excellence , authors Josephine Martin and Martha T. Conklin maintain that child nutrition programs, especially in sizeable school districts, resemble very large businesses in that they provide an abundance of managerial, financial, human resources and health promotion opportunities and challenges. In 1998, the federal budget for child nutrition programs exceeded $5 billion, with nearly 95,000 schools participating in the federal lunch program and approximately 31,000 participating in federal breakfast programs. Nutrition services is a dynamic process undergoing constant change as a result of evolving federal, state, and local regulatory processes; advances in technology; demographic changes; societal and community expectations; new food product availability; participation in federal food commodities programs; strategies to maintain or increase the number of students engaged in educational processes; competition from vending and other food venues on school premises; "open" or "closed" lunch periods in high schools; and the changing needs and tastes of students as both food consumers and customers.

Extractions: Forgotten NCSLnet Password? Physical Activity and Nutrition Updated February 2003 Physical inactivity and unhealthy eating are behaviors that have an impact on health. Together, they are responsible for at least 300,000 preventable deaths each year. Regular physical activity provides short-term benefits, such as reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and reduces long-term risks for disability and premature death. Despite the proven benefits of being physically active, more than 60 percent of American adults do not engage in levels of physical activity necessary to provide health benefits ( see postcard ). Good nutrition lowers a person's risk for many chronic diseases. However, a considerable gap remains between recommended dietary patterns and what Americans actually eat. Only about one-fourth of U.S. adults eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Extractions: Unhealthy habits, such as eating too much fat, using spit tobacco, not eating fruits and vegetables, or not exercising, can begin at an early age. When children become teenagers, they may experiment with behaviors that pose cancer risks, such as cigarette smoking and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. There is evidence that patterns set in adolescence regarding physical activity, food preferences, and smoking continue into adult years. The formative years of youth offer many opportunities to influence the development of lifelong skills and healthy behaviors needed for cancer prevention and risk reduction. Children who have good health knowledge and skills also achieve a better lifelong health status. Healthy children and adolescents are able to perform more effectively in school, and they miss fewer days from school due to illness.
