It isn’t a chore to be healthy. It’s fun and it’s easy. That’s the underlying theme that we hope your students will take away with them when they do the activities in this teaching resource. Of course, good health is important, because heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death and disability, and many cases of heart disease and stroke can be prevented. But few students are influenced in their daily activities by the thought of preventing future disease. They, like most adults, prefer to think about enjoying their lives with their family and friends. That’s why this resource, while giving students information based on Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines and Canada’s Food Guide, encourages students to focus on what they enjoy.
