Description for Healthy Eating in Schools
Hardback. This book provides a conceptual model for understanding both obesity and eating disordered behaviors. Num Pages: 288 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: JNH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 259 x 183 x 20. Weight in Grams: 703.
School-based interventions that target obesity in children often have little positive effect and may inadvertently contribute to unhealthy behaviors in the attempt to lose weight.
This book provides a conceptual model for understanding both obesity and eating disordered behaviors. Specifically, it advocates for body acceptance and intuitive eating—a flexible, healthy eating behavior involving awareness of the body’s hunger and satiety cues.
Within this context, the chapters review evidence-based school interventions in nutrition, self-regulation, exercise, body acceptance, media literacy, and mindfulness. Guidance is also provided for identifying, referring, and supporting students with emerging eating disorders.
