- Summary:
-
The purpose of this illustrated guide is to teach 15-18 year old students that all healthy Americans, 2 years of age or older, should eat in a way that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol to help reduce the risk of heart disease. The theme reflected throughout the manual is that changes in eating patterns help lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease in adulthood. The booklet helps students make the switch to good eating habits, shows students how to choose a variety of foods to lower the blood cholesterol level, tells students about other healthful behaviors, such as regular physical activity, and provides special charts and tips to get started. The booklet includes chapters that highlight: (1) eat right--live healthy; (2) break that habit; (3) cholesterol's highs and lows; (4) a winning game plan for heart-health--eat a variety of foods, eat less saturated fat, total fat, and dietary cholesterol, and maintain a healthy weight; (5) putting heart-healthy eating habits into play (teaches about the following food groups and their nutrients--meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish; eggs and dairy products; breads, cereals, pasta, rice, dry peas, and beans, vegetables, fruits, fats and oils, and sweets and snacks); (6) fast foods; (7) vending machine snacks; and (8) the importance of exercise.
