Today I was fortunate enough to complete my first presentation as a Holistic Health Coach of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Angela Joy Nutrition preparing her presentation on healthy eating for children
For the presentation, I spoke to children at the Ladacin school about healthy eating.
The presentation was broken up into several topics:
-What does it mean to be health?
-Healthy Foods: The Five Food Groups
-The United Stated Department of Agriculture My Plate
-Health Snacks
I began by explaining to the children what it means to be healthy:
-Sleep
-Nice to others
-Proper hygiene
-Going to school
-Drinking water
-Health eating
We then looked at the USDA MyPlate and discussed what healthy foods are and the food group that they are in. I love the My Plate because it provides a guideline of what food should be eaten each day, the amounts to be eaten during each day, and the proper portion size.
To complete the presentation I showed the children different healthy snack options they can make at home with their parents.
We then made our own healthy snack: Apple Sandwiches
Food Items Needed:
Nut Butter
Chocolate Chips/Raisins
Oats
Apples
Many children have nut allergies, therefore I brought apple butter and sunflower butter. The children LOVED the sunflower butter and said it tasted just like peanut butter.
Overall the full presentation went very well! I look forward to providing more presentations in the near future.
As I progress through my education at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition I will be looking for more opportunities to provide presentations to the public. I am able to offer presentations on a variety of topics including healthy eating, healthy living, smoothie making, nutrition for athletes, healthy eating for kids, and much, much more.
If you, or someone you know, may be interested in hosting a presentation on health, please contact me. I will also begin to offer free Health History consultations within the near future. Let me know if you would be interested.

Great job. I am sure they gained a lot of knowledge from you. I have used that plate chart with a girl scout troop I spoke to about nutrition also. Good resource.

Hi Nursegeorgie,
Thank you for checking out my blog!
I have been attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) for five months now and I can honestly tell you that I absolutely love the school and all that I am learning.
IIN approached health holistically, meaning that nutrition and diet is not the only area of focus. We learn each of the dietary theories, in addition to how to navigate out primary foods (which includes career, spiritual practice, physical activity and relationships). The IIN curriculum teaches students how to live a healthy and happy, balanced life. My life has been completely transformed by the school. You should definitely check it out! If you click here, http://geti.in/1F4DE7H you can sample a class and check it out 🙂
Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Angela Joy
