Health consciousness

Belvidere District 100 provides healthy meals to students due to their care for students’ health and wellness.

They share some of their tips on how students can stay healthy:

Why should children and adults eat more plant-based foods?

Plant based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans can provide a variety of color, texture, and taste to your plate, and are also packed with important nutrients to help prevent disease.

They each contribute important fiber to your daily diet which helps to fill you up and keep your digestive system healthy.

Eating plant-based foods has also been shown to reduce the risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers.

In addition, the added vitamins and minerals in these foods can help keep you energized when properly added to a balanced daily meal plan.

Why do we struggle to get more plant-based foods into our diet?

For some people, it’s lack of familiarity and not understanding how to incorporate them into a daily diet routine.

Consider some of the tips below to help you add these nutrient-filled foods into your family’s meal plan.

There also are issues of availability in different seasons, as well as convenience. If fresh is not an option for your family, try frozen fruits and vegetables, canned fruits in natural juices, or low-sodium canned vegetables and beans as a healthy alternative.

How to build more plant-based foods into your menu

Adding more plant-based foods into your diet has never been easier.

With access to recipes on the internet, as well as cooking videos and volumes of educational information on how to cook plant-based foods, there really are no excuses for not adding them to your diet.

It may take a couple of weeks to build them into your weekly routine, but it’s the right thing to do for your health.

Try some of the following tips to get started:

Find recipes that interest your family.

Stock your freezer and pantry with frozen vegetables and fruits, as well as a variety of “low sodium” or “no salted added” vegetables and beans.

Stock your pantry with fruits packed in natural juices.

Make sure you fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables.

The District’s Food Service facility prepares and serves some products which may contain ingredients identified as food allergens. For more information on food allergies, go to: http://www.foodallergy.org/.

Here is a recipe from District 100 that will help families get started in a healthier direction:

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Garlic-Lemon Yogurt Dipping Sauce.

First, cut three sweet potatoes in half and cut each half into six wedges and place them in cold water.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Drain the potatoes and place them on a paper towel to absorb the water.

Spray baking sheet with oil and place the wedges on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the potatoes with one and a half tablespoons of olive oil and your desired amount of salt and pepper.

Mix potatoes so they are evenly coated with the mixture.

Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked and crispy on the outside.

In a small bowl, mix one cup of plain, non-fat yogurt, one teaspoon of garlic, one and a half tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of minced chives, and one tablespoon of minced parsley.

Serve with the wedges as a dipping sauce.

The Belvidere School District 100 also would like to remind the Community of the November monthly observances in school, such as: National Peanut Butter Month, National Child Safety and Protection Month, Good Nutrition Month, Adopt a Senior Pet Month, Election Day on Nov. 8, and Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11.
