Power CYP promotes healthy lifestyles and respect, science, technology, engineering and mathematics
Today we are going to explore what we can do to live a healthy lifestyle.
At the Port Adelaide Football Club it is important for our players to eat a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep to make sure they can perform to the best of their ability.
Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt)
Chips and salty snacks
Crackers

Fast food (like burgers and fried chicken)
Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, berries, oranges)
Lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs, tofu)

These foods don’t give your brain or body much energy. They might taste good, but too much can make you feel slow and tired.
These foods give you energy, but not as much as the High Power foods. They’re good sometimes, but not always.
These are the best foods for strong energy, focus, and growth. They give you FULL POWER!
An important part of living a healthy lifestyle is making sure we eat a variety of foods from the five food groups.Can you name the five food groups?
Grains are foods made of wheat, oats, rice, rye, barley, quinoa and corn. When choosing your grains, it is important to include wholegrain foods. Wholegrains have more fibre, vitamins and minerals. The best way to choose wholegrains is to look for words like 'wholegrain' or 'wholemeal'.
Vegetables are the leaves, stems, roots or other parts of certain plants that you can eat. Vegetables that can grow both above and below the ground are a great source of vitamins and minerals. You should aim to eat 5 serves of vegetables every day.
Protein-rich foods such as red meat, chicken, fish, mushrooms, chick peas, tofu and eggs help us grow, and maintain and repair our muscles. High-protein foods also provide us with nutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamins. You should aim to eat at least 2 serves of protein every day.
Fruit is a great source of vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Different coloured fruits can provide different sources of vitamins. Red and yellow fruits provide vitamin A and oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C. You should aim to eat 2 serves of fruit every day.
Dairy is an excellent source of calcium, which is important for strong bones and teeth. You should aim to have 2-3 serves of dairy every day. Milk, cheese and yoghurt are great sources of dairy that also supply you with vitamin B12 and zinc.
How many different types of fruit can you name in 30 seconds?

Did you know that food labels have important information that helps us make healthier food choices?
Let's have a closer look at a food label to see what information we should be looking for.
| Nutrition Information | ||
| Servings Per Pack: 1 | Serving Size: 170g | |
|---|---|---|
| Per Serve | Per 100g | |
| Energy | 408kJ (97Cal) | 240kJ (57Cal) |
| Protein | 16.5g | 9.7g |
| Fat | 0.3g | 0.2g |
| Saturated Fat | 0.2g | 0.1g |
| Carbohydrate | 7.1g | 4.2g |
| Sugars | 5.6g | 3.3g |
| Sodium | 54mg | 32mg |
When reading a label it's important to check the serving size. This information will tell you how big one serve is.
It's important to check because sometimes one package might have more than 1 serve.
When comparing products use the per 100g column.
Generally foods with less than 10g per 100g are best.
Aim to find foods that have less than 3g per 100g.
Aim to choose foods that have less than 15g of sugar per 100g.
Try to choose foods with low sodium. As a guide foods with less than 400mg per 100g are good.
How many minutes of physical activity should you aim to do every day?
Sometimes it can be difficult to reach your physical activity target every day. Here's some ways we can get a little bit more physical activity into our day.
Join a sports club
Play a game at recess and lunch
Walk or ride to school
Can you name some other benefits of being active?
Makes you feel good
Make new friends
Helps build strong bones, muscles and joints
Energises you
You can learn new skills
We know it is important to eat well and be active, but another important part of living a healthy lifestyle is drinking plenty of water.
Your body needs fluid to be able to function at its best, without enough fluid you become dehydrated which can make you tired or dizzy and give you headaches.
Maybe try to drink a bit more. 1 litre is a little bit more than an average sized drink bottle.
2 litres is great. Aim to fill your drink bottle at least 2 times a day.
3 litres is plenty of water. Remember, if you are doing lots of exercise or it's a hot day, you should aim to drink a little bit more water than normal.
It is important for people of all ages to be getting enough sleep. Sleeping helps our muscles recover and our batteries recharge
If you are between 5 and 13 years old you should aim to get at least 9 hours sleep each night.
Did you know...
You grow when you are asleep.
It is important that we take note of how much screen time we are having each day. Screen time is the time we spend on electronic devices.

That looking at screens before bed can stop you from getting a good night sleep.
Electronic devices include:
