Eating Right
Nutrition is essential for a healthy lifestyle, but it can be difficult to navigate for many families in NYC and beyond. With limited resources and information, it can be challenging to make nutritious choices on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this can lead to serious chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Shockingly, 20% of NYC public school children in grades K through 8 currently struggle with childhood obesity. The consequences are grave, as research shows that 80% of children with childhood obesity will continue to struggle with obesity into adulthood.
At Active Plus, we recognize the urgency of addressing this issue. We offer educational sessions and hands-on cooking classes with expert nutrition instructors to equip youth and their families with the tools they need to make healthy choices. Our nutrition sessions and cooking classes have proven to be successful in helping families navigate complex nutritional decisions. Through these activities, families not only learn why nutrition matters, but also how to sustain a healthy diet with the resources and ingredients available to them.
