Achievers Step By Step, Inc.

The H.E.A.L. (Healthy Eating and Living) School Presentation was created after watching my children appreciate and gain the benefits of a healthy lifestyle due to healthy food choices and physical fitness. The purpose of this program is to motivate individuals to adopt a healthier lifestyle by eating more fruits & vegetables, drinking plenty of pure water & exercising daily.

During the presentation, the Youth Nutrition Educator(s) will show the participants how to prepare healthy quick & easy snacks. We will teach them how eating wholesome nutritious food affects the whole body. Children will also be taught how to read food and beverage labels to learn what ingredients to steer away from when adopting a healthier lifestyle. Depending on the age level, participants will learn the benefits of eating raw fruits and vegetables frequently, as well as, the importance of portion size. We also, encourage food items that are low in sugar, salt, fats and cholesterol, but provide plenty of the necessary nutrients like calcium, protein and iron to meet their growing bodies need. A healthy diet with physical activity will increase metabolism and burn unwanted calories. Eating habits are set in early childhood, therefore, choosing a healthy diet will have a lasting benefit.

The cost of a 45 minute presentation of $300.00 will include nutrition counseling, snack preparation & exercise techniques. Depending on the size of the class and available supplies, participants will receive healthy habit resources and/or goodie bags. Presentation cost may vary due to class size and the length of the presentation.
