Children Benefit From the Opera of Health
We have all read and seen the recent news reports about the epidemic of childhood obesity. To help children become healthy adolescents and adults, we must teach them healthy habits while they are still young. A recent study by The American Health Foundation* revealed that over 65% of America's school children (K-12) do not eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day! Teaching children about the importance of nutrition and fitness is what The Opera of Health is all about.
