Screen Time The Average American youth spends more time watching TV than any other activity except for sleeping < 1 ½ hours/day of TV watching has been consistently associated with a decreased interest in school activities and lower academic scores Almost any other activity uses more energy than watching TV Studies show that when you watch less TV, you are able to keep weight off Doctors recommend that you spend no more than 2 hours a day in front of the TV, computer or video games. And less is even better!

Importance of Physical Activity Everyone needs at least 30 minutes of exercise every day! Some of the many health benefits include: –Reducing your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure –Lowering your risk of type 2 diabetes –Helping achieve and maintain a healthy body weight –Reducing feelings of depression and anxiety –Promoting psychological well-being and reducing feelings of stress –Helping build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints

What is one thing you can do to increase healthy eating and/or physical activity in your school? More fresh fruits and vegetables in school meals Start a school garden and sell produce at lunch More bike racks, better bike lanes After-hours and weekend access to gym/weight room

How will you put this plan into action? 1.Develop a problem statement: ABC High School does not have a wide variety of fruits and vegetables for sale at lunch 2.Make a list of steps to address the problem: 1.Find out if other high schools in the area offer fresh produce 2.Conduct a survey and taste test to see what fresh produce students would like to be offered 3.Present findings to key decision makers 3.Contact decision makers with a summary of findings and proposal for action
