From March 03, 2023 post.

We are so proud of the 8th through 12th graders at Wescare Christian Academy Troy, NC.  We concluded the LIFT program with these seven students last week, and they all reported making progress toward their goals.  FIfty-seven percent of students indicated that they intend to the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. 71% indicated intention toward drinking less sugary drinks. 85% intend to drink more water, and all seven indicated that they either already have or might make healthier food and snacks with their families. Eight-five percent agreed that they had learned about healthy foods, and 71% indicated they had shared healthy food ideas with their families. 6 of the 7 students said that they knew how to follow the steps in a recipe to make a food item and the one other one said they "sort of" knew.

Remember, to be healthy, you need to eat foods from all the food groups, making half of your plate fruits and vegetables.
