You Are What You Eat

You Are What You Eat is designed to help adolescents understand the relationship between the foods they eat and overall health. Adolescents are in an active growth phase, and the foods they eat can have an impact on their health in the future. This resource focuses on four main bodily systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and musculoskeletal. The content is presented in a workbook that highlights an overview of each bodily system, nutrients impacting that bodily system, and foods containing the nutrients. The Leaders’ Guide provides activities that can be done with adolescents to reinforce the information learned on the bodily systems.
