NUTRITION

New for 2010: A nutrition tracking component will be added to the 2010 Live Healthy Iowa Kids 100 Day Challenge. In addition to tracking physical activity, students will track consumption of fruits (4 weeks), vegetables (4 weeks), low-fat milk (2 weeks), water (2 weeks) and hours of screen time (3 weeks) over the span of the Challenge. Supporting curriculum and resources will be available for youth leaders and teachers for elementary, middle and high school age students. The Governor’s Council is partnering with the Department of Education, Iowa State University Extension, Midwest Dairy Council and others to develop the supplemental resources which will be available fall of 2010.
