Excercise and Calorie Wise

Through fun, interactive hip hop songs, videos and games, Hip Hop H.E.A.L.S. promotes a healthy understanding of calories as food energy and encourages a balance between food consumption and physical activity. Using a “traffic light” model, which groups foods as “Go”, “Slow” and “Whoa,” we help students to distinguish between calorie and nutrient densities of foods and to simplify the complexity of the calorie message.
