Making MyPyramid Work for You- JG

Life-long food habits are established during adolescence. There is a high incidence of nutritional deficiencies and poor eating habits, during this important time. Immediate and long-term complications include obesity, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, & sexual maturation delays. Using MyPyramid, I hope to increase awareness of the food groups and increase healthy eating behaviors among our adolescent population.
