Overview

Have you ever wolfed down a doughnut or guzzled a soda for breakfast? Did you know that kids who eat a healthy breakfast get better math grades and reading scores than kids who don’t? And they’re also less likely to be depressed, anxious, and hyperactive.

Health teachers help young people develop healthy habits. But they don't just bombard students with boring lectures on dos and don'ts. Instead, they give kids the information and support they need to make their own choices about issues ranging from asthma to drug use to safe sex.
