| Good nutrition and
physical activity go hand in hand with building fitness. Our Web nutrition site
is exploring food needs of physically active youth. Your youth may be involved
in an organized sports program or just physically active on their own time. We
hope they are paying attention to their food needs since they are at a time when
they are growing rapidly and need extra energy. It's important
that youth follow a sensible food guide-such as the Food Guide Pyramid. Ask your
youth about the Food Guide Pyramid to see what he or she is learning. As a parent
you can also help by keeping foods stocked in your kitchen that fall into one
of the five basic food groups:
| | Breads
and cereals | | | Vegetables |
| | Fruits | | | Milk,
cheese and yogurt | | | Meat,
Chicken, Fish, Eggs, Beans and Nuts | 
Healthy
Eating to you, too!! |
