Kids Ultraprocessed Foods Weighted Vest
Although ice cream, fries, chocolate bars, potato chips, and cola are OK when they are only occasional treats, diets rich in ultraprocessed foods can have serious negative health consequences, including unhealthy weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. With colorful images of ultraprocessed foods and simple messaging on the front, this fun vest is a great way to help children understand why they should focus on consuming healthy foods and avoid eating too many ultraprocessed foods, which tend to be high in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium. By inserting five weights into the child-size vest’s interior pocket, young wearers can “gain” up to 15 extra pounds. With the extra weight added to the vest, children can quickly see how excess weight can restrict their movement and hinder their ability to play and perform daily tasks. Perfect for nutrition education, the vest is an ideal kid-friendly activity to start conversations about healthy eating and being physically active. Comes with teaching notes.
