Introduction
.
Current research indicates that adolescents are at an increased risk of
becoming overweight and obese and of developing heart disease and
diabetes. These chronic diseases are often linked to poor eating and
physical activity behaviors. Community issues often make it difficult for
youth to make healthful choices regarding their diet and physical
activity.
.
An important strategy for young people to improve their food and activity
choices is to learn what goes on in their community and how it affects
their eating and physical activity behaviors. Youth programs can play an
important role in motivating young people to examine these issues and
come up with solutions.
.
Encouraging young people to canvass their communities and develop
action plans for improving their food and physical activity options is an
empowering effort that can lead to lifelong healthier habits. This type of
activity can easily be incorporated into a youth program.
.
This manual will help you guide youth through activities that will:
Increase their understanding of nutrition and physical activity-related
issues that affect their environments.
.
Teach skills that will help them make healthier nutrition and physical
activity choices.
.
Design a youth-driven nutrition and physical activity community
project.
.
Model and promote healthful eating and physical activity.
