Healthy Habits
The Ultimate Solution for Students
Healthy Habits Participants engage in experiential learning that addresses the multitude of factors in which influence habits and lifestyle. Participants improve their knowledge, attitudes and behavior by getting the facts about foods that add nutritional value versus those that add “empty calories”. They conduct self-assessments to discover whether they need to increase their physicial exercise or change their diet to achieve optimum health for a lifetime. Participants also set their own goals for healthier lifestyles and learn about the effects of cigarette smoking.
