Lesson 2 – FUEL
Students engaged in a game of “Eat More, Eat Some, and Eat Less”, applying the lessons they learned about “fueling in the green” (i.e. focusing mostly on items below the green line) and principles adapted from the University of Michigan’s Department of Integrative Medicine’s “Healing Foods Pyramid”, and concluded the lesson by learning how to make a "Green Slime" smoothie
Lesson 3 – RECOVER
Students at ICS learned about the third leg of the balanced stool….Move – Fuel – Recover, and how only when we give our bodies and brains a proper balance of Recover (sleep, rest, recovery) can we be at our best! We learned about the importance of sleep quantity (number of hours) and quality (sleep cycles) as well as other ways to tap into our very best recovery strategies including “metered” and diaphragmatic breathing tactics!
LEADERBOARD - consistent healthy actions can really add up! Have you MOVED enough today....FUELed with the good stuff?..taken time to rest and RECOVER....so that you can continue to ENDURE tomorrow towards your goals...a CONNECT with others as you achieve? Log your points and push your team to the top of the leaderboard!
