Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Did you know that February is American Heart Month? Heart disease is a
growing concern in America. About 720,000 Americans have a heart attack
per year. By 2020, heart disease is predicted to be the leading cause of
death worldwide. The risk factors for heart disease include diabetes,
obesity, poor diet, and physical inactivity. Consuming a diet low in salt and
saturated fat can help prevent heart disease. Including foods such as fruits,
vegetables, low-fat dairy, lean protein, and whole grains can help reduce
the risk of developing heart disease. The lunch menu follows the USDA
guidelines for the National School Lunch Program which includes; fresh fruit
and vegetables, low-fat dairy, and whole grains.
