Dowling’s newest program is Nutrition Alive.  Our corporate dietitian has developed a year-long program that helps children make better choices as they make their way through the cafeteria.  It’s all about making the right choice and teaching kids at an early age that will help form good eating habits.  This is the basis for Dowling’s Nutrition Alive program. 

Some of the components of our Nutrition Alive program are:

My Pyramid:  A discussion of the food pyramid and its components and how to sign up for the “My Pyramid” plan

Portion Distortion:  A hot topic on all fronts!  Learn how portion sizes relate to the food pyramid.

Have a Heart:  While heart disease may not affect young children, this portion of the program helps identify healthy food choices for them.

Go with the Grain:  A Dowling program in conjunction with General Mills® that helps kids identify healthier carbohydrate choices. 

Weight Management:  Does your child know the right amount of saturated fats and other ingredients in food?
