Plan de estudios de sostenibilidad alimentaria de quinto grado 

Este programa semanal de siete lecciones complementa el plan de estudios de nutrición de KIN y profundiza en los problemas de sostenibilidad alimentaria dentro de nuestro sistema alimentario. Esto incluye discutir la nutrición en el contexto del cambio climático, los gases de efecto invernadero y otros vínculos basados en evidencia. Cada lección despierta el pensamiento crítico sobre cómo las acciones individuales pueden afectar el mundo que nos rodea y qué podemos hacer al respecto. Nuestro plan es introducir este plan de estudios en las aulas en los capítulos actuales y futuros de KIN, con el objetivo final de incorporar la sostenibilidad alimentaria y la salud planetaria en el marco de educación para la salud de EE. UU.

 

Las lecciones cubren una variedad de temas relevantes de dieta sostenible relacionados con el sistema alimentario, como se describe a continuación:

​An estimated 95% of American adults and children do not consume the recommended daily amount of dietary fiber.

Fiber foods variety

The daily average recommended intake of dietary fiber is 25-38 grams.

Keeps Your Stomach Happy

Think of fiber as a gentle broom for your inside! It sweeps food along its way, keeping tummy troubles and constipation far away.

Gives You Long-Lasting Energy

Foods without fiber, like juice and candy, give you a fast energy spike followed by a big crash! Fiber works like a speed bump for sugar—slowing it down so you get long-lasting energy to run, jump, and play all afternoon.

Feeds Your Gut Bacteria

Your tummy is home to trillions of friendly microscopic creatures called "good bacteria", and fiber is their ultimate favorite food! Eating plenty of fiber feeds these good bugs so they can grow strong and protect your body.

Helps You Feel Full & Focused

Because fiber digests slowly, it adds bulk to meals and promotes long-lasting fullness. This prevents mid-afternoon energy slumps and keeps hungry tummies satisfied between meals so we can stay focused throughout the day.

Protects Your Heart & Whole Body

Fiber isn't just for digestion—it supports heart health, too! By helping maintain clear blood vessels, fiber builds a strong foundation for lifelong heart health, while also supporting restful sleep, a balanced microbiome, and overall wellness.

Good News! No counting required.

Just build a colorful plate with your favorite fiber-rich foods, enjoy every bite, and let fiber work its magic.​
