**TASK 4** YOUR ASSIGNMENT

Poor diet and physical inactivity caused over 16.6% of deaths in Australia in 2000, which is the equivalent to 400,000 people. People who are physically inactive and have a poor diet are at great risk of developing a lifestyle disease. Your task for this section is in groups of two create an information booklet for other students on healthy eating and being physically active. The pamphlet will be put on the school website for others students, staff, and parents to use. The focus of the pamphlet will be looking at the different Food Pyramids, guidelines, meal planning and different methods of physical activity. You need to come up with a creative and informative way of presenting your pamphlet and the information. You can use tables, pictures, colours etc. As long as they are relevant and the information covers both physical activity and healthy eating for adolescents. The link below is just one example of some of the information that can be used. YouTube is a fantastic resource that you can use to find information and resources. This example explains the benefits of eating fruit instead of junk food, which in today's society is a very important message. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=a6rFCMTfFog&feature=PlayList&p=E8E3A6CBE55BC506&playnext=1&index=6
