Healthy habits and hobbies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our presentation is on how physical activity and nutrition affects an elementary students behavior in the classroom. We examined the lack of both physical activity and nutrition in a students\n life and how that affects their behavior when in school. We found that \nsix out of ten students in grades K-8 come to school hungry because they\n are not getting enough to eat or anything to eat at home. We also found\n that 1 in 3 elementary aged students are over weight due to a lack of physical activity and eating habits. Both over weight\n and underweight kids in America may be deemed as malnourished. A lack \nof proper food intake is known as malnourishment and it does not imply \nthere is a lack of food, but it signifies a lack of nutrients. \nMalnutrition can result in long term neural issues in the brain which \ncan impact a child\u2019s emotional response, reactions to stress, learning \ndisabilities, and other medical complications. Also, most students rely \non food provided by the school during their school day, and if the \nschool only provides lunch, then that is the only meal they are eating \nmost days. The benefits of physical fitness go beyond health and \nwellness of the body. Besides strengthening the cardiovascular and \nmuscular systems and lowering the risk of many diseases, research \nsuggests that physical activity also positively impacts the brain and \nimproves mood and attention in students. Also, providing daily aerobic \nactivities to children can help to reduce symptoms of ADHD such as \nmoodiness and inattentiveness. Research shows that even short bursts of \nmovement deliver big benefits for brain health and academic performance,\n relative to sitting quietly and preventing unwanted behaviors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our\n project is important because healthy students perform better. Poor \nnutrition and inadequate physical activity can affect not only academic \nachievement, but also other factors such as absenteeism, classroom \nbehavior, ability to concentrate, self-esteem, cognitive performance, \nand test scores. To support positive outcomes for both health AND \nlearning, it\u2019s important that educators incorporate movement into their \nclassroom routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
