• Physical activity is simple. It just means movement of the body that uses energy. Physical activity can be anything. Walking, gardening, dancing, climbing the stairs, playing soccer, or briskly pushing a baby stroller are all considered physical activity.
• For health benefits, physical activity should be moderate or vigorous and add up to at least 30 minutes a day.

• Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or any other cereal grain is a grain product.
• Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, whole grains and refined grains.
Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel -- the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Refined grains have been milled, meaning the bran and germ have been removed in order to improve shelf life and give the grain a finer texture. However, this process also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins

*A-ha’s & Conclusions
*I was unaware until starting this project that 100% fruit & vegetable juices were considered a part of their respective categories.
*I also was not aware that pushing a stroller (something I do quite often) is considered a physical activity.
*I did not know that beans and peas are part of both the vegetable and meat groups.
I believe that as an educator and with the problems our nation is facing with childhood obesity that we should be as educated as possible on nutrition so that we can battle obesity. I think showing children what choices are healthy for them and giving them examples and a site to reference is a great idea.
