How
can I set goals and stick to them?
The Dole 5 a day website gives students the opportunity to not
only
discover information about food and nutrition but also set goals for
themselves. The idea is that
students
will
eat enough fruits, vegetables, meat, and grain products for a minimum of five
days. The website provides
a
“family contract” for parents to get involved too! Also, the Dole 5 a day website has an extensive reference
library
on nutrition, fruits and vegetable servings as well as the chemical processes
that go on in the body
throughout
digestion.
