With much in the news regarding teenage obesity, this IIU plays an important role in the students' understanding of nutrition and wellness. Students first study models to gain an understanding of how a diet can be changed to lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Using a heart monitor students study heart rate and discover how to set personal fitness goals. In the next part of the unit, student teams learn how to make a healthy fruit smoothie. Next, they use the latest USDA Food Guide Pyramid to categorize food into 6 color coded food groups as a basis for studying fast food facts. Finally, they make over a recipe into a healthier substitute.
