My goal in the area of health is to prevent the spread of illness, keep the environment as clean as possible, and follow sound nutrition and fitness policies to help children and families live a healthy lifestyle. In group care, it can sometimes be hard to control the spread of germs and disease, so I follow proper hand washing, sanitation, diapering, and food preparation guidelines at all times. I also follow my center’s sick policy by informing families about communicable diseases, observing children closely, and sending sick children home right away. I also prepare my snack menu carefully by following the food pyramid, ensuring at least two food groups, and strictly limiting processed and sugary foods. I am also proactive about health in fitness in my classroom, as I teach children about making good choices and how to lead a fun and active lifestyle. We have sports, creative movement or outdoor play several times each day to stay active. We also inform families of our health and fitness goals so they can support the goal of a healthy active lifestyle.

As Executive Director, I will provide staff leadership for Better Health Association. Our goal for the company is to improve the well-being of individuals. Audiences of all ages will be able to take part in learning about living a healthy lifestyle and developing the skills needed to make healthy choices to prevent diseases and ameliorate conditions for those already afflicted with illnesses. Over the course of the next year, It is my responsibility to develop and lead the staff, management structure, dedicated to achieving the mission for Better Health Care Organization. I plan to make significant changes to our organization, to help guide individuals in Central Ohio, to living a better and healthier lifestyle. My goal is to empower the staff with the training needed to meet our company’s standards.

School lunches are not the epitome of meals in the world. Raising the level of nutritional output would highly increase the healthiness of the student’s body. For example, if a child were to drink only water at school the health benefits would help that student, just by cutting out the sugar and the calorie intake. If schools were to serve grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, the student would not have that extreme carb intake just from the fried part alone. Chicken and vegetables should be the entrée for most school lunches, of course, this does not allow for a great variety of meals, but the healthiness of the students would increase over time and could possibly be the healthiest thing they eat that day, but the only thing that they eat at all. The poverty in Mississippi is abundant, which may mean that children do not get three square meals a day, but maybe only one, which is at school. Therefore, the best way to affect student’s healthiness is by putting good, nutritious, and energizing food on the plate in front of

School lunches, curriculum focus, and daily activities have changed in elementary schools over the years. The nutritional value in school lunches often meet a bare minimum. Curriculum is focused strongly on idealistic future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; but often forget teaching basic healthy habits needed for lifelong health. Physical education is no longer required every single day. Obesity has become an epidemic and not just for adults, it is increasingly affecting children as well. Children spend a generous amount of time in the classroom. They spend more time in school than at home or anywhere else. Therefore, schools have a responsibility in preventing obesity in adolescents by teaching them healthy habits, serving them nutritious food, and providing them with adequate physical activity.

Hialeah Healthy Families initiative foster life changes in this community that continuously evaluate the needs of residents and promoting new areas. The early prevention obesity and life style changes in children and reduce the chances of developing chronic illnesses in order to reestablish the next generations to run the city. Population of City of Hialeah promote environmental interventions and positively support physical activities and new nutritional choices. Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program support population in nutritional education and take needed action.

Operators from all over were reporting large amounts of foods going to waste and participation decreased from the students. “We lost 15 percent of our revenue when we started putting the Healthy, Hunger­Free Kids Act into place,” said Chris Burkardt, director of child nutrition and wellness at the Lokota Local School District. Students are gradually beginning to bring their own lunches or leave campus for fast food, and to reduce waste and reel students back in for lunch, many cafeterias have created their own methods of serving food to their students. In Ohio at the Lokota Local School District, stir­fry stations with various vegetables are offered for students to have meals made to order. Schools in Minnesota are weeding out processed foods in favor of foods made from scratch in full­size kitchens.

Programs like HKCC, use a different approach to public health. Instead of targeting individuals they use more of a community-based approach. This type of approach allows them to target whole communities to work together to make kids healthier and takes the pressure

The goal of Healthy Living Program is to help develop a healthier Asian community. But Healthy Living Program is now facing an obstacle of expanding the community groups. As this is a new program, they are severely lacking in staffs and volunteers numbers. There are also not enough diverse activities to attract more elders into joining the program.
