Heart Heathy Food Suggestions


Ever excited, and always ready to search the Internet, the SASIC 4th graders set out to find more heart healthy recipes and activities.

After discussing the importance of heart health, students identified important steps for keeping the heart healthy. They recommended a diet low in fat, sugar and sodium, plus, balancing calorie intake with regular exercise. Not surprisingly, several students made reference to our promotion and celebration of Food Day back on October 24th.  With any luck, seeds of change have been planted and a more health conscious group of youngsters is taking shape.

 Here are a few of their treasures...

  1. To be healthy you should eat less red meat,and more chicken,and fish. We all should eat fresh food such as blueberries, strawberries, and bannans. To always be sure to see if it is good or low on sugur check the nutrition bar. You should drink 1% milk or you could drink soy milk. Good intake makes for a good healthy life.

    Moderation would be balance of foods such as some meat\some vegetables and some healthy\some junk. Never over eat because then you get fat. you should eat less junk food, instead you eat fresh food. The moderation is all about good choices.

    Eating healthy can change every thing. Eating healthy can even help you live longer. Cereal can even help your heart. If you're like me you eat a variety of fruits and that's good! So always eat healthy foods.
    I like to eat lots of fresh foods. I think all people should choose fresh foods. I like to eat ice cream, but I know I still have to eat healthy. I like green apples, fresh grapes, carrots, and sometimes I'll eat green grapes. I also like to eat things that are low in sugar, low in sodium, low in fat, and low in preservatives. It's really bad for people that eat lots of sugar, sodium, fat, calories, and preservatives.

  4. The types of healthy foods are we should be eating are fish or shrimp. We shoud be geting our calories. Plus, we should be eating cow meat, shrimp, and no red meat it's bad for us thow. Shrimp is my favorite but I can only eat it once a week. Finally, I don't like red meat it tasted nasty to me.


    The things I hate the most are lobsters, cat fish, and octipus. Next, I like my calories from oranges and fish also chicken. Also, the things that I like are blueberries, strawberries, fish, and shimp. Finally, the foods I eat I can only eat them once or twice a week.

  5. How I have moderation. I have moderation by eating more carrots and having less fat in diets. Also, I would have salads with no calorie home made ranch. you cant eat simply fruits with vegetables, you also need to at least eat some meats and junk foods to get your protein and fat. Whole wheat cereal is good because it has low fat, with vitamins, plus soy, plus soy milk has low calories. That is how I would eat in moderation.
    How I have good intake. I have good intake by having low like strawberries and how they only a small thing of sugar. Another thing is about having good calories like having some fish with shrimp. To get low fat you could have low sodium and fat for sodium you could have home made food also for fat you could buy better types of milk. You can also have low preservatives by eating fresh salads and you can have fresh food by eating blueberries. Also, by eating good protein foods like chicken, shrimp, and low fat cheese you waill have more energy. Thats how I would eating good intakes.

  9. Im going to tell you how I eat. If I eat junk food only. I eat a certain amount. For instance I like to eat cookies. Instead of 2 cookies eat 1. Instead of eating no carrots I eat 1 or 2, it helps your vision. You see eating healthy means you will live a better life. So I suggest the whole universe should eat healthy.

    Lets talk about moderation. Moderation helps us be healthy. Eating healthy food and is very tasty, for example watermelon. You should eat less junk food such as chips, soda, and more. You can eat a variety of vegetables such as carrot, peas, and pickles. If I were you, I would eat heathy.

  10. In the class we are lerning about healthy food. For instance soymilk has protien and some vitiman E. I suggest people should start eating healthy. They also should eat less red meat and more chicken and fish. Now that's healthy.


    Moderation is good while eating like balance of food some meat, some vegetables some healthy, some junk. You need some fiber in you some times. Moderation is good for you. You also need to exercise some times.

  11. Eating healthy is very important. My idea of eating healthy is eating good protein foods, low preservatives, and low fat. For example fruits, veggies, and 1% milk. Remember making good choices in your diet is very important.
    But in your diet you could eat in moderation. Moderation means to have limits. Eating one or two cookies a day can not hurt you. So remember you can eat in moderation.

  12. A good food example is a salad. Salads have a variety of fresh vegetables. Here are some vegitables in a salad lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cabbage and sometimes cheese. Somtimes you can put fresh meat or tuna on salad.

    It`s good to have moderation when you eat because no one wants to be fat. Here is a good food list fresh salad, fresh shrimp, skim milk and home made lasagna. Here is a bad food list ice cream, fried chicken, fries and chips.Steven
