Benefits of the LEAP Program
|
Benefits of the Live Eat And Play ™ Program Live Eat And Play ™ is a hands-on school activity that enables students to understand the important balance between the food they eat, energy intake , and the activities, energy expenditure , they undertake during the day. The program ensures that each student is involved in compiling a visual chart of their individual weekly eating habits and how it relates to their activities and the way they themselves play. There is a great deal of information available through books and sport associations, but this data is rarely taken on board by school students. They are also faced with advertising promoting high kilojoule foods, fads such as different diets and information about the need for an active lifestyle. It is easy to receive mixed messages. Live Eat And Play ™ enables the students to do a comparison of their eating activities with their daily sport and play activities and therefore comprehend the important relationship of eating well and playing well. The outcome is that children understand the healthy balance between eating and playing and learn steps how to deal with health issues such as obesity or a poor diet.
