Personal Best--Balancing Fitness & Nutrition CD

The purpose of this multimedia is to help students see the connection between nutritious diet and regular exercise. - In the Nutrition Analyzer, students see a dietary analysis of their food entries. Based on the food they have eaten, their activity level, and personal data, students gain a clear picture of how their diets measure up to recommended levels. The program generates up to nine different reports, and describes the strengths and weaknesses of their diet, with suggestions for improvement. The database includes over 8,000 foods and 18 nutrient values. It also analyzes cholesterol, calories, fiber, total sugars, and total fat. - The Energy Analyzer focuses on the effect of exercise on health and weight. It shows how the activities you do affect the calories you burn, using a database of over 195 activities. Students enter their activities, and the program tells them how many calories they burned. - A Teacher's Resource Guide, free with purchase, contains reproducible masters.
