This presentation talks about who is at risk of developing diabetes and how diabetes will affect the future generations. You will be introduced to how the global amount of people diagnosed with diabetes, according to the WHO and the IDF, will increase from just over 400 million to 600 million by 2030.

Narrator: Richard Steed.

Students will use MyFitnessPal or another teacher-approved website to record their food and drink consumption for 10 days. Then students will complete a reflection focused on analyzing if students met their recommended daily nutrition goals and nutrients.

In this first lesson, students will discover how foods from the garden fit into a healthy diet. Students will explore different types of gardens, and form their garden rules and garden teams. They will learn the function of different plant parts, and classify plants according to what part is edible. Finally, students will be introduced to the MyPlate icon, a reminder to eat
from the five food groups, and discover how they can eat smart to play hard with fruits and vegetables!

Eleven inquiry-based lessons that engage 5th and 6th graders in growing, harvesting, tasting, and learning about fruits and vegetables. The curriculum includes reproducible student handouts, 35 copies of the Dig In! At Home parent booklet (parent booklet also available separately in Spanish), and a set of 6 Dig In! posters.

After visiting the school garden to identify and pick vegetables ready for harvest, students create a poster model to show the journey food takes through their digestive system. Students then compare and contrast the digestive process of a plant (garden vegetable) with that of an animal (human). Students will further identify and compare nutritious and innutritious (junk) foods for both humans and plants.

Discover MyPlate is fun and inquiry-based nutrition education that fosters the development of healthy food choices and physically active lifestyles during a critical developmental and learning period for children — kindergarten.

Contains: Teacher guide, Emergent Reader Mini Books and teacher edition, Reach for the Sky song, Food Group Friends profile cards, Food cards, Look and Cook recipes, student workbook, the Five Food Groups poster, parent handouts and Discover MyPlate graphics

Students explore outdoors to search for plant body parts (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers) and explain the function of each part of the plant as it relates to the plant’s survival. Students then research a vegetable from a list of vegetables commonly grown in a school garden in order to sketch that vegetable with body parts, describe the function of each part, and discuss which body parts are typically eaten. As a mathematics connection, students use triangles and quadrilaterals to create a model of a plant with all four main body parts.

 Description: Don’t be fooled by food messaging is a media literacy embedded health unit that takes the health goals of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and adds some critical thinking skills and communication skills. In food marketing young people are surrounded by persuasive claims meant to influence and manipulate their eating behavior. Students will explore some of the techniques and strategies food marketers use to influence their eating behavior to better understand how it impacts their own food choices. Within the PE program students will discuss how food choices, levels of consumption and physical activity levels influence health and wellness. Body image/healthy weight will be incorporated into this content. The culminating projects require students to work collaboratively to synthesize their new learning while using a variety of strategies to create their own healthy choices messaging production projects.

Nutrition education, menu planning, childhood diseases and illness, and sanitation and safety in group settings. Protecting the health and safety of young children and promoting the development of lifelong health habits. Communication with health professionals and parents on health, safety, and nutrition issues.

Students will explore their outdoor space to construct a definition of the word “food”. Students will makeobservations of the ways in which organisms get energy necessary for survival. As a culminating activity,students will create their own meal menu and provide an explanation of why they chose to include each item intheir meal

Students will use accurate nutrition information and current research-based guidelines to describe the importance of drinking water and eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods to balance nutritional needs in a variety of settings while evaluating food labels, specifically snacks the students are eating often.
Students will also demonstrate how to balance caloric intake with caloric expenditure to maintain, gain, or reduce weight in a healthy manner while reading food labels.

In this activity, students will have the opportunity to give nutritional advice to their peers and recommend a day of healthy meals to a visiting international student.

Being able to step voltages to a higher value and step voltages down to a lower value is one of the benefits of alternating current. This book will explain how this is possible through transformers with a focus on single phase.

There are various hormones that influence the structure of the skin. These influences may be made apparent by the repeated long-term administration of various glucocorticoids or their analogues. Endogenous imbalances are generally seen in adult mature animals although congenital forms have been seen, especially with hypothyroidism. The hormones implicated as important for maintaining skin structure are thyroxine, cortisol and estradiol. Deficiencies or excessive production may result from abberations in the function of the hypothalamic-adrenal axis, the adrenal gland, thyroid gland or the gonads.

This feature, adapted from Interactive NOVA: "Earth," follows the path of energy as it is transferred via the food chain from one type of organism to another.

In this lesson, students identify the sun as the source of energy and understand how energy flows through an ecosystem.

"The gut microbiome – comprising the microbes that reside inside our digestive systems – produces many metabolites that affect human physiology. The composition and diversity of gut microbes has been associated with diseases as diverse as GI disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and rheumatoid arthritis. To better understand the relationship between diet and gut microbiota, a recent study used a cross-sectional approach. By examining fecal microbiota from the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg study, including 1,992 participants, researchers applied latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to identify 20 microbial subgroups within the population. They found that 8 of 20 subgroups were associated with dietary habits, while 9 of 20 were associated with the prevalence of metabolic diseases and risk factors..."

"Diseases like epilepsy and diabetes are linked to inflammation and oxidative stress which can be further complicated by persistent high blood glucose levels Drug-based treatments can help, but issues of tolerance, effectiveness, and compliance can complicate treatment The ketogenic diet (KD) reduces blood glucose and insulin, helping individuals to manage their condition But adherence to a strict KD can be difficult A recent study at the University of South Florida identified a promising possible alternative to KD adherence Using rodent models of epilepsy and glucose intolerance as well as non-disease models Researchers evaluated blood glucose levels after administration of exogenous ketone supplements Animals given exogenous ketones had lower blood glucose levels, both when resting and after exercise This treatment was effective for all of the disease models evaluated, and it also helped reduce blood glucose in rodents without pathology at different age ranges Further preclinical and clin.."
