We all know that a good diet is beneficial for the body, but how aware are our girls of it?
The Impact Of Food On Our Bodies
“Awareness of our bodies’ unique needs.”
We understand that food and emotions are connected. This link can be especially tough for young women and girls to navigate. We teach girls about disordered eating and some things that might trigger it in age-appropriate lessons. With teens and young adults, we discuss the use of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol and the harmful effects they can have in the short and long term.
We teach girls how to identify processed foods, soft drinks, energy drinks, and sugary foods and explain how consuming these foods can negatively affect their bodies, emotions, and minds.
We show them how to choose foods that nourish and provide energy and still taste good.
