Daily Food Choices for Healthy Living
This best-selling program has been revised using the latest USDA research on what foods
North Americans eat and what nutrients are in those foods. With input from nutrition
experts, health specialists, and home economics teachers, the program teaches how to make
the best food choices. The USDA Food Guide Pyramid is used to illustrate the basic food
groups. The program then helps the students put the dietary guidelines into practice.
Students will learn what and how much to eat from each food group to get the nutrients
needed, but not too many calories or too much fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar,
sodium or alcohol. Following the Pyramid will help keep the intake of total fat and
saturated fat low and reduce chances of getting certain diseases and help maintain healthy
weight. Students will also see how to control the sugar and salt in their diets and to
make fewer sugar and salt choices. Special activities are provided for pregnant teens and
young women.
