Low Fat Diets are causing vitamin deficency in our youth!

A new study found in Nebraska that adults are feeding their children low fat meals. Skim milk and low fat salad dressings are two examples of the adults diets are affecting the way children eat. Obesity is a huge problem in the United States and watching what one eats is a positive. But, children need to learn to be active and it is their time to absorb and intake proper nutritious meals. Sometimes this involves having whole milk and lots of nuts and regular salad dressing. With this they will gain the proper vitamin intake of Vitamin E and C.

Understanding our bodies is essential as health instructors. Knowing what are bodies need we will be able to be examples to our students and also be able to provide advice. It's okay for our students to intake a higher fat diet. They need it. We just need to help them become excited about moving around and not being in front of the video games for hours on end!
