Healthy Choices, Healthy Body

Overview:

A worksheet that explores how healthy eating and lifestyle choices support different parts of the body, such as muscles, bones, and the brain. Designed for upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the relationship between diet, exercise, and the functioning of different body parts.
• Identify foods and activities that promote the health of specific body systems.
• Develop critical thinking skills by connecting concepts of nutrition and health.

How the Activity Works:

The worksheet includes sections dedicated to key body parts (e.g., muscles, bones, brain). For each section, students explain how healthy eating and exercise benefit that part of the body. They list specific foods (e.g., proteins for muscles, calcium-rich foods for bones) and activities that support its health. This activity encourages students to make connections between their choices and their overall wellbeing.
