>>>TODAY ON IMPACT....EATING FOR THE HEALTH OF IT.
---(Those things make a difference in how you feel. You're going to have more energy. You're going to look better. You're going to feel better and you're going to be able to accomplish more every day so I think diet is just really the foundation that we have to build on.)---
---(If we can help people to maintain their health and well being through a better diet and give them ways to do it, I think society as a whole benefits.)---
---(I think that the pyramid, the food pyramid and the portion is the major part of the training and if they understand that then I think that or even attempt to slowly change their eating habits then they're going to have a better quality of life very definitely.)---
>>>WE'LL LOOK AT HOW PEOPLE OF ALL AGES ARE LEARNING TO EAT RIGHT AND STAY IN SHAPE. JOIN US FOR THIS WEEK'S IMPACT.
>>>THIS IS IMPACT. A WEEKLY LOOK AT ISSUES AND ANSWERS THAT IMPACT OUR LIVES AND THE WORLD AROUND US. PRODUCED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA'S INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES.
>>>BALANCING A BUSY SCHEDULE AND THE NEED FOR A HEALTHY DIET CAN BE A JUGGLING ACT THAT FEW PEOPLE HAVE MASTERED. BUT OUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME AND THAT'S WHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA EXPERTS OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION TO PEOPLE WHO ARE EATING RIGHT FOR THE HEALTH OF IT.
---(music)---
>>>WHEN IT COMES TO EATING A HEALTHY DIET, MOST PEOPLE TODAY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS. HOW MANY CALORIES DO I NEED TO CONSUME? WHAT ABOUT FOOD AND CHOLESTEROL? HOW MANY FRUITS OR VEGETABLES DO I NEED TO EAT EVERY DAY? MOST EXPERTS WILL TELL YOU EATING A BALANCED DIET IS NO ACCIDENT. IT TAKES EDUCATION AND PLANNING.
>>>ELAINE COURTNEY-UF OKALOOSA CO. EXTENSION: Well, the average American eats about 42% of the calories that they consume every day is from fat. And we would like to see that being no more that 30% of their calories from fat. So they need to concentrate on lowering that amount. 55% should come from carbohydrates of which the majority are whole grains and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables. You want to be sure that people eat 5 a day. Three vegetables and 2 fruits at least every day.
---(The bottom pyramid has the breads, cereals, and grain's group....you want to have 6-11 servings of that. Next comes the vegetables group, 3-5 servings. From the fruit group, 2-3 servings.)---
>>>UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA EXTENSION AGENTS SAY A GOOD PLACE TO START IS THE FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID. IT OUTLINES EACH FOOD GROUP AND THE DAILY REQUIREMENTS.
>>>COURTNEY: The food pyramid is a guideline for people to follow in their diet. The base of the pyramid has the breads and cereals group which you need 6 to 11 servings of daily. The next has the vegetable group which you need 3 to 5 servings, the fruits, 2 to 3 servings, and that really should form the majority of the foods that you consume. Then on top of the pyramid we have the meat group where we need 2 to 3 servings a day as well as the dairy group, 2 to 3 servings. At the very top of the pyramid are those other foods, or fats or sweets that sometimes we lapse into and eat, but the majority of our diet should be composed of the bottom part of the pyramid.
>>>BUT DO MOST PEOPLE GET ALL THE NUTRIENTS THEY NEED DURING AN AVERAGE DAY? EXPERTS SAY PROBABLY NOT.
>>>PATSY CRABTREE-FLORIDA RESIDENT: I really need to eat more fruits and vegetables. Vegetables being the main priority. That's very hard for me. We have a habit of just going out and buying a quick bite to eat, you know, a lot, and so I really need to concentrate on my fruits and vegetables.
>>>ARTHUR CHARLES - CANADIAN RESIDENT: My diet is what my wife feeds me, it isn't what I like, it's as what she thinks is going to make me live for another 1,000 years. But I have a very good diet, when I say good, I mean in health terms. I eat the pyramid, just as they say, to my chagrin, I do not eat chocolate mousse cake any more. I have a lot of problems with the things I don't eat. We just had a discussion, and I'm 73, and I figure if I do everything exactly as I should in the way of diet for the rest of my life, it'll probably extend my life for about 15 minutes. I don't think that's a good trade-in on a good cheese cake.
>>>OLIVE CHARLES-CANADIAN RESIDENT: I think that I've known a lot of the information for quite some time, and have really tried because of cholesterol problems, but a refresher course is very, very good to take because you do tend to slide and everything will make me think about what I'm eating again. I read food labels, but it's most interesting and very good to have it impressed upon you again.
---(Most of us get way too much sodium primarily because of a lot of hidden sodium. Just like hidden fat, a lot of sodium is hidden in foods.)---
>>>TAKING A NUTRITIONAL REFRESHER COURSE IS A GOOD IDEA AT ANY AGE. THIS ONE IS SPONSORED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA'S OKALOOSA COUNTY EXTENSION AGENTS, THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AND THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION.
>>>COURTNEY: I personally think that what you eat makes a difference in how you feel. If you're eating healthy, if you're exercising, those things make a difference in how you feel. You're going to have more energy, you're going to look better, you're going to feel better, you're going to be able to accomplish more every day. So I think diet is just really the foundation that we have to build on.
>>>LYDIA ABRAM - AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION: Meal planning is very important to diabetes, we do follow the food pyramid. We use month of meals and menu planner. The menu planner utilizes the exchanges, and makes sure that people have normal, they have the necessary levels of everything that is important for a balanced meal plan. In terms of preventing diabetes, a healthy lifestyle and avoiding obesity, the biggest thing we've seen in the last decade or so is that Americans are becoming more and more obese, and this in turn is leading to a greater incidence of the type 2 diabetes.
>>>MARJORIE WEBB-AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION: Heart disease is the number one killer in America. It kills 925,000 Americans each year. That means every 24 seconds, someone dies of heart disease. And there are many factors that can help you prevent heart disease, and that's correct nutrition, exercise, not smoking, your genetics, though you can't do much about it, if you have a history of heart disease in your family, it's better that you make sure that you do exercise and eat right and don't smoke.
>>>ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE "EATING FOR THE HEALTH OF IT" WORKSHOP WAS A TASTE TEST. MANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE SURPRISED HOW GOOD LOW FAT CAN BE.
>>>CHARLES: Oh, they were great, they were good. I was also very impressed with the carrot cake. Mainly because I like cake, I suppose. The chowder didn't do much for me, but I'm not a corn man. But to get taste like that out of diet food amazed me, really amazed me. It's worth coming just for the recipes.
>>>ALISON BARNES-13 YEARS OLD: I think I'll try to eat more fruits and vegetables, and more breads and fibers and stuff, and it explained the different kinds of fat, and how much you should eat of each kind. So, I think I'll be watching that.
>>>TIFFANY CRABTREE-19-YEARS OLD: Well, my diet's been pretty good as a teenager. I'm trying to improve it more for when I become that midpoint of age where you just stop your metabolism almost, and you just start the gaining of weight and having kids and family, and I just want to make sure that I can stabilize it now to maintain that stability when I am older and loaded down with a hectic life, even as a college life right now is.
>>>NUTRITIONIST SAY HEALTHY FOOD NOT ONLY SHOULDN'T TASTE BAD. IT SHOULD ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD AND TASTE GOOD. THE SECRET IS IN THE PREPARATION.
>>>COURTNEY: The taste test was important so that people could actually try out some recipes that were suggested that would fit into a healthy diet. We had volunteers prepare the food as well as getting donations from some particular food groups. I think it's important if once people taste the food, and they see that, yes, this is low fat, it's high in fiber, it avoids the excessive use of sodium, and it tastes good and it looks good, then they're more likely to incorporate that into part of their diet. I think that we need to be very careful on the types of foods that we eat that are high in fat. Avoid fried foods. Be very careful when eating out. More and more people are eating out. And you need to kind of be very cautious when doing that. And I still say go back to the food guide pyramid, and if you use those guidelines and choose low fat foods within those guidelines, then I think you'll be successful.
>>>THE IMPACT OF THIS HEALTHY DIET MESSAGE SEEMS TO HIT HOME WITH MANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS.
>>>MENA WEST-FLORIDA RESIDENT: I learned about the importance of watching the fat contents of the food because of the amount of calories that is in so many of the foods that we prepare. And it's very important to be aware of the amount of added fats to the food. And it's very important to watch the amount of calories in order to keep that cholesterol down to normal.
>>>REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OKALOOSA COUNTY HEALTH UNIT ALSO TOOK PART IN THE WORKSHOP IN HOPES OF EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LINKS BETWEEN DIET AND DISEASE.
>>>MARK FORONDA-OKALOOSA CO. HEALTH UNIT: In this country, we rarely have any nutrient deficiencies like a third world country. Like vitamin A, people who lack vitamin A, will go blind. The main problem in this country is the over-consumption of fat, sugar and high cholesterol foods. And usually those are related, and also sodium, and those are related to hypertension, heart disease, and also type 2 onset of diabetes.
>>>THE FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID EMPHASIZES FOODS FROM ALL FIVE FOOD GROUPS AND NO ONE FOOD GROUP IS ANY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANOTHER. FOR GOOD HEALTH, YOU NEED THEM ALL. UF EXPERTS SAY YOU CAN EVEN HAVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE EATING OUT AS LONG AS YOU WATCH WHAT YOU EAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE WEEK AND NOT JUST WHAT YOU EAT DAY TO DAY.
---(Remember it's not how many times that you eat a day, it's the choices that you make. It's O.K. to have five small meals a day especially when you're pregnant, if you feel like you can't consume all of the foods from each of the five food groups in three meals. That's a lot of food and sometimes it's overwhelming for people.)---
>>>WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES, A GOOD PLACE FOR YOUNG MOTHERS TO START IS WITH PROPER NUTRITION.
---(One of the things that we're trying to do is though is to kind of reverse that thinking. Instead of typically picking the meat as our main dish, we're trying to focus our main meal around the breads, cereals, and grains group to have foods that are high in complex carbohydrates...spaghetti, rice, pasta and almost think of our meat as an aside to that. Have our 3 ounces of fish, chicken, beef, things like that so you're right that's typically not how we have planned our meals but that's one of the things we want to accomplish with the food guide pyramid.)---
>>>DR. LINDA BOBROFF-UF EXTENSION NUTRITIONIST: Basically we teach general good nutrition for the teen to take throughout her life, pretty much. We look at the pyramid and the food groups and so on, and then we make some adjustments for the pregnancy. They need to eat a little bit more food, not really a whole lot, but they need to be eating more food than they would if they were just getting an adequate diet for not being pregnant. And we emphasize some of the critical nutrients, like protein, calcium, iron, folacin, and those are particularly critical during pregnancy when the cells are growing. And of course you have a double challenge with a pregnant teen, since the teen herself she is herself growing. And so she needs calcium, protein, folacin, and iron for her growing cells as well. So it's kind of a double need in particular for the pregnant teen.
>>>THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA SPONSORS THE "CHOICES" PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH IT'S STILL IN ITS INFANCY, THE BASIC CONCEPTS ARE ALREADY HAVING A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON YOUNG MOTHERS.
>>>NIKKI DESHAY-17 YEARS OLD: I learned I should be able to take care of my baby I know I'm a teenager right now, but I learned how to cope with it now. Better than I used to. That's why I came back to school for one. I need to be around my peers, and, you know, talk to other girls that are my age and that are pregnant. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.
>>>LAKISHA HICKS-18 YEARS OLD: After a while you get tired of the junk food, and you just go back to dieting and eating nutritious food.
>>>MICHELLE HOLT-17 YEARS OLD: Before I was pregnant I just, I didn't really think about good food. I mean I ate good food nutritious food, but I was eating a lot of junk food, candy and stuff, and I really didn't exercise that much. I was thin but I felt, hey I'm think I don't need to exercise, you know. But now I know that it's really important. You feel better, you look better. It's just all better if you exercise and eat right.
---(The ingredients that we're going to use are the grapes, deli turkey, cheese, and pineapple, Sheila.)---
>>>DURING CLASSES LIKE THIS, YOUNG MOTHERS LEARN VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT EATING HEALTHY...EVERYTHING FROM FOOD PREPARATION TO CREATING A BALANCED DIET. BUT THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ISN'T LIMITED TO JUST NUTRITION.
---(Let's take a grape vine to you're left. March it out on you're left foot. Here's four, three, let's take it wide. If you want to use that arm...back to the left. Now, ham string for four. Here's four and three.)---
>>>BOBROFF: From our counties who are learning that there in just about every county there are pregnant teens, and there are certain needs that are not being met. And as an educational organization, extension decided to put together a multi-disciplinary program targeted to pregnant and parenting teens that would address a number of the needs that perhaps weren't being met. And what we include is nutrition education, both for the mother, maternal nutrition, and then for the infant when the infant is born. And we include resource management, family economics issues, consumer issues, and human development issues, as far as parenting goes, and how to be a better parent and how to avoid some of the problems that you can have as a very young parent.
---(You're still building your bones and you're still forming and you're still growing but you're babies also need that calcium too because their bones are forming and the foundation for their teeth that will eventually come in is forming so this is a very, very important food group.)---
>>>GOOD NUTRITION ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT'S STRESSED IN THE CHOICES PROGRAM. EXERCISE IS A VITAL PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
---(And blow it out right here and now we're going to take those knees side to side right here. Feet are planted...side to side.)---
>>>KELLY MCDONALD-EXERCISE INSTRUCTOR: It's very important to exercise whether you're pregnant or not, so that's a key reason why it's so important to exercise while you're pregnant. Also there any number of psychological, emotional, as well as physical needs for exercise during pregnancy. It's going to make the labor easier, and it's also going to help to reduce the body weight and get back in shape after you're pregnant. So if you're exercising the whole way, you're going to gain weight, it's very important to gain weight. But if you're gaining the weight that's just the baby and the natural weight that you're supposed to gain you're going to lose it really quickly, especially if you've kept that metabolism up during pregnancy.
---(Hold it ... step tap.)--
>>>WHEN STARTING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, MCDONALD SAYS IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BUT IF YOU'RE PREGNANT, SHE FEELS THAT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. SHE ALSO BELIEVES IN KEEPING IT LOW IMPACT.
>>>MCDONALD: Monitor your own body, make sure that if you feel tired, if you feel a little different, dizzy, you know, everybody knows their own bodies so you have to modify moves that don't feel good to you, personally, and you also just have to listen to your body and be very careful. Drinking water--a lot of the same guidelines go for if you're pregnant or not. You need to keep drinking water the whole time. You need to make sure you've eaten something. You don't want to go all day long and then exercise, but these are especially important if you're pregnant because you're really looking out for your health every step along the way.
>>>THE CHOICES PROGRAM TARGETS YOUNGER TEENAGERS...AGED 13-15 BUT IT ALSO AVAILABLE TO YOUNG MOTHERS THROUGH 19-YEARS OLD. ORGANIZERS ESPECIALLY WANT TO GET YOUNG MOTHERS UNDER 13 YEARS OLD INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY'RE AT THE GREATEST RISK FOR EMOTIONAL, NUTRITIONAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS.
>>>BOBROFF: We want them to have babies that are above five and a half pounds, hopefully well above five and a half pounds, and we want to decrease the instance of low birth weight and infant mortality in this state. That's really the ultimate goal, and of course we do want to work with the teens to prevent another early pregnancy before she and the father are ready to be parents, so we're focusing both on prevention and also on dealing with the issue, kind of after the fact.
>>>SO FAR, FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSITIVE.
>>>TANYA SIMS-18 YEARS OLD: Nutrition is important. I eat nutritious food all the time. Exercise is good. It makes it easier for you to have the baby.
>>>HICKS: You learn lots of things, like...how, what movements the baby, what movements the baby do, what he do it for and the purpose of it, and, you know, it's better now than what it was before.
>>>DESHAY: First I wasn't too sure if I wanted my child. Now I'm growing to love it and care for him. I'm taking precautions, eating healthy and exercising.
>>>TO HELP YOUNG MOTHERS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR GOOD NUTRITION AND EXERCISE, THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA DEVELOPED A VIDEO TO COMPLIMENT THEIR CHOICES PROGRAM. IT'S AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT COUNTY EXTENSION OFFICES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. OTHER INFANT RELATED VIDEOS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SERIES.
---(music)---
>>> GETTING OUT AND ENJOYING LIFE IN YOUR SENIOR YEARS IS A GOAL OF MANY RETIREES. EXERCISING AND STAYING IN SHAPE CAN HELP YOU DO JUST THAT.
>>>AUDREY PHILIPS -ORMOND BEACH, FL/DANCER: Well, as you keep dancing, you keep your bones moving, we have a lot of people with arthritis, and things like that, and they say if they keep dancing, then they keep dancing, then they can keep moving. But days that they don't dance, they have problems getting in and out of chairs, and things like that. It's just very good for your heart, plus there's a social aspect of it too. But it's just very good for you to dance.
>>>BEING PHYSICALLY FIT ISN'T ENOUGH. SENIORS NEED TO FOLLOW GOOD NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES TO HELP THEM GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE.
>>>BETTY VERNON-UF/DIR.-VOLUSIA CO. EXTENSION: We know that people who are malnourished are more prone to diseases, to not being able to overcome illnesses, then they wind up not being able to be self sufficient as long as they could, their quality of life goes down. They wind up in nursing homes. This impacts their personal family or the care-taker, and its a very expensive operation for everybody involved, whether its the individual family or the government or whatever, so if we could help people to maintain their health and well-being through a better diet and giving them ways to do it, I think society as a whole benefits.
>>>ONE WAY TO HELP SENIOR CITIZENS IMPROVE THEIR DIETS IS TO KEEP THEM UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION. THAT'S THE IDEA BEHIND A PROGRAM OFFERED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA'S VOLUSIA COUNTY EXTENSION AGENTS AND THE COUNCIL ON AGING.
>>>JANE K. HARTNETT-CONSULTANT-COUNCIL ON AGING: Well, good nutrition, the more research they do, the more they realize what has an impact on almost every aspect of a person's health. From the functioning of their brain, their immune system, their digestive system, their, even their muscles and their skeletal system, I think everything, it's an overall good thing to do for yourself, is drink enough water and eat the right kinds of food.
>>>THE COUNCIL ON AGING COORDINATES THE "MEALS ON WHEELS" PROGRAM AND SERVES MORE THAN A THOUSAND MEALS AT LUNCH TIME IN THIS AREA. ABOUT HALF OF THOSE MEALS ARE PROVIDED AT DINING SITES LIKE THIS NEAR DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA.
>>>HARNETT: I think we serve about 1,200 meals every lunch time, and approximately 600 are at the nine congregate dining sites and approximately 600 are delivered by Meals on Wheels, they're all packed and delivered by volunteers.
---(That's very important. We are what we eat.)---
>>>HELEN CHAMBERS IS ONE OF MANY VOLUNTEERS THAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM POSSIBLE. SHE WORKS WITH UF'S VOLUSIA COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE TO HELP PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION TO SENIOR CITIZENS.
>>>HELEN CHAMBERS-VOLUNTEER/VOLUSIA CO. EXTENSION: I'm finding it very challenging and I have made myself a promise that when I retired, I was going to give something back to the community that I lived in. I have thoroughly enjoyed this and I've been coming here each month, and they're family to me now here, and we get good background. The University and our agent, Betty Vernon at the extension service, trains us for every three months programs and gives us beautiful paper works.
>>>THE SUBJECTS FOR THE NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION RANGE FROM THE NEED FOR INCREASED WATER CONSUMPTION TO THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DIABETES AND DIET.
>>>VERNON: A lot of times, people have diabetes and don't know they have it because they're not checked regularly by a doctor. They need to check their eyes, they need to check their feet, and this needs to be a part of making sure that they are OK. Diabetes has a relationship to obesity. And a lot of the type II diabetics can control their diabetes by eating a really good diet and getting some exercise.
>>>VERNON SAYS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN 1 IN 5 ELDERLY RESIDENTS SKIPS AT LEAST ONE MEAL A DAY AND ABOUT 16% OF THE SENIOR POPULATION OVERALL IS IN SERIOUS CONDITION AS FAR AS THEIR NUTRITIONAL NEEDS NOT BEING MET.
>>>VERNON: A lot of them have arthritis, it's very difficult to cook. And it's very difficult to chew if you have denture problems, and then they have all kinds of other health problems, so that food becomes, you know, a problem, the interaction and the problems as a result of it. So it's a whole issue out there that I think we're just really going to have to really take a look at as our population gets older and older.
>>>IT'S HOPED NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS LIKE THIS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
>>>STELLA WILSON-FLORIDA RESIDENT: I've learned a lot about the balance of food--vegetables, carbohydrates, protein. And I've also learned a lot about reading the labels on the food that we get. How much fat there is in everything in proportion to the weight.
>>>STELLA PAGE-FLORIDA RESIDENT: I love pineapple, apples, and bananas. That's it. I eat a banana every day.
>>>STELLA PAGE SAYS SHE HAS BEEN EATING A BALANCED DIET FOR MOST OF HER LIFE AND AT 90, SHE SAYS SHE FEELS PRETTY GOOD. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA EXTENSION AGENTS SAY SHE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT EXERCISE AND HEALTHY EATING CAN DO FOR YOU WHETHER YOU'RE YOUNG OR YOUNG AT HEART.
>>>WHILE EATING HEALTHY IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS SOME PEOPLE THINK, IT USUALLY MEANS A CHANGE IN REGULAR DIETARY HABITS. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA NUTRITIONAL EXPERTS SAY THE NEED FOR A BALANCED DIET STAYS WITH US THROUGHOUT OUR LIFETIME BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE YOUNG OR APPROACHING YOUR SENIOR YEARS.
