Nutrition Idea

I've been working on my Nutrition unit and wanted to talk a little about the mental issues people who overeat/are obese sometimes have. I remembered a video Taylor and I did back in 381 when we talked about sugar intake. I wanted to share it because I think there's a lot to pull from it. You can talk about the mental aspect, the sugar intake stuff, etc. Taylor and I showed from 2:17-4:25 when we talked about sugar intake.

This is a little clip from CSI.

It was about cyberbullying.
In the episode a teenage girl who was pregnant killed herself as a result of cyber bullying.

If you want the clip let me know I can email it to you!

Physical Activity/Nutrition Questionnaire

Here's another questionnaire for activity and nutrition:

Wellness questionnaire

Hey guys!

I'm taking a class here in Oregon at the Community College. We had to fill out a couple questionnaires about our Health. I thought this would be a great first day activity!

I thought this was pretty cool!

Nutrition Lesson Idea

So I am obsessed with Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Last night he did a lesson about healthy/unhealthy snacking and the effect that it has long-term on you. This includes a math lesson for a group of students. They are each given a snack to eat that includes either a candy bar, orange, soda, or pizza (they are allowed to choose which snack they get). After they select the snack, they head out to the track. Depending on how many calories are in each snack, that is how many laps they have to do around the track in order to burn off these calories. Here is the breakdown for each snack:
1. Orange (62 calories) 3 laps (about 3/4 miles)
2. Soda (140 calories) 7 laps
3. Pizza (149 calories) 8 laps
4. Candy Bar (220 calories) 11 laps (nearly 3 miles!)

He had them wear a backpack with either 20 pounds (girl) or 30 pounds (boy) that they would gain in three months (I think?) if they didn't exercise and ate like that all the time. They had to wear the backpacks while they were doing their laps around the track. I think it would be cool to do that but I think it would work great without the backpacks too. Here's the link on hulu:

It's in the first 10 minutes of the show. Sorry but it won't let me only put a clip on here. Don't know why.

Squished Pyramid - Now Myplate?

Breaking News...

In my way home from Health 436 today I read in the Daily Universe that the Food Pyramid has been replaced with a new icon - MyPlate! First of all, I was excited that the Daily Universe was printing something about health. Now I wonder, will this help the public? Will this change the way I teach or that others teach and will it be more effective? What do you all think? Here are a few resources:

New Health Ed Blog!

Hey guys!

As Emily mentioned in class, she had this great idea to start a blog for our major!

We're trying to make everyone authors and admins of this blog. I've only got emails from people who were in 421 the day we did this. If you know anyone else in our major, please make sure they can become authors of the blog. We want to have everyone contribute!

If you want, comment on this post with a link to your personal blog.
