Tips

  • Flu shot

    The flu shot is the best way to avoid getting influenza because it stimulates the body to produce antibodies against the influenza virus.

  • Nourishing minds

    Comprehensive School Community Health incorporates health into all aspects of school and learning.

  • Healthy canteen options

    Encourage your school canteen to offer fresh fruits and vegetables often such as fruit and vegetable salads, fresh fruit, cut up vegetables and dip and fruit and yogurt smoothies.

  • Healthy options

    Healthy canteen options will be more popular if parents and students help decide what healthy options will be served. Encourage their participation.

  • Portion sizes

    Portion sizes are getting larger and we’re consuming many unneeded calories as a result. Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide can help you choose and plan how many servings you need from each food group in a day.

  • Heathy after school snacks

    Children are active, growing and need a lot of energy. Healthy snacks help children get the extra energy and nutrients their growing bodies need to be healthy.

  • Healthy environment

    Creating a healthy nutrition environment in your school requires the participation and support of families and the community.

  • Better learning

    Did you know that healthy young people learn better and achieve more?

  • Limit the amounts

    When large portions of food are served, we are likely to eat more food than we need to feel full. Eating the right portions of food regularly throughout the day will give you energy and help you control your weight and appetite

  • Watch the snacks

    Make healthy snacks the easy choice by having them visible and ready-to-eat at home. Children are more likely to eat what’s handy when they are hungry.

  • Healthy snacks

    Snacks should not be “treats” such as cookies, cake or chips. Healthy snacks should include two of the four food groups in Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating.

  • Family meals

    Children and teenagers who take part in regular family meals tend to have healthier lifestyles

  • Peaceful mealtimes

    Make mealtime a fun and relaxing time. Avoid arguing, fighting or scolding.

  • Let your children cook

    Let children help plan and make meals. They will be more willing to eat it!

  • Move with the times

    Be flexible with mealtime. Make it work for your family.

  • Sitting nicely

    Teach children to behave nicely at mealtime. Avoid pressuring children to eat.

  • Talk to one another

    Turn off the screens. Use mealtime to spend time together and talk with each other.

  • Family meal time

    Children and teenagers who take part in regular family meals tend to do better in school.
