Health


One size doesn't fit all. MyPyramid offers personalized eating plans, interactive tools to help you plan and assess your food choices, and advice to help you:

Make smart choices from every food group.

Find your balance between food and physical activity.

Get the most nutrition out of your calories.

Stay within your daily calorie needs.
MyPyramid food plans are designed for the general public ages 2 and over; they are not therapeutic diets. Those with a specific health condition should consult with a health care provider for a dietary plan that is right for them.

To meet the objectives of the grade 5 health curriculum my students would have the opportunity to explore the activities on the Mypyramid website. Here students will be able to create a menue and enter information to access their level of fitness. once students are familiar with food choices and have created their Mypyramid menu they can begin the MyPyramid Blast Off Game. This is an interactive computer game where kids can reach Planet Power by fueling their rocket with food and physical activity. “Fuel” tanks for each food group help students keep track of how their choices fit into MyPyramid.
