Food for Thought

Nova has visited the Senior Team classes twice during this week to educate us about nutrition in food and best choices. 

She shared some startling facts:
* NZ children are the second unhealthiest in the world, NZ adults the third. 
* In 20 years it is estimated in NZ 50% of the adult population will have Type 2 diabetes.
* Type 2 diabetes are preventable. This condition is caused by poor eating habits and lack of fitness
We were pretty shocked by this information and were keen to learn more about nutrition. We are now confident with the food pyramid and what our bodies need to be healthy.
Her visits culminated in a class trip to New World. (Thank you to New World and the parents who accompanied us on our excursion).
