Naturally Well
An Engaging Childhood Nutritional Education Program
Health Starts at a Young Age
We believe that good health starts at a young age. That’s why Institute for Natural Medicine (INM) and Paradigm Health is teaming up with youth services in local at-risk communities to support lifelong health among children and their families through our Naturally Well program. Taught by a naturopathic doctor, this video and gaming app series focuses on culinary nutrition to give kids the skills they need to make healthy food and lifestyle choices.
Topics covered extend beyond food, encompassing a fuller understanding of a healthy lifestyle and how to make the healthiest choices.
Our lesson plans include the following:
Nutrition, Diet, Gardening, and Cooking
Vitamins and Supplementation
Mind-Body-Spirit Connection to Good Health
Understanding nutrition and how to make food
Understanding nutrition labels for healthy choices
Understanding of healthy portion sizes
Eating healthy when dining out
Developing healthy habits
Understanding how to start the day right
… and much more!
With the unique structure of this program, we can work towards all of our goals through a replicable, customizable model:
Educate children about the basics of good health, nutrition and preventative medicine.
Give young people the tools to make healthy choices for lifelong good health.
Enable different cultural groups to better appreciate and integrate their customs within known healthy lifestyle choices.
Inspire children to create healthy diet and lifestyle habits in their lives and their families’ lives, thereby instilling healthy changes in their communities.
