Blog #3 Fueling an Active Life: The Power of Nutrition

Hey Hannah!

I really enjoyed your post on the importance of nutrition for an active lifestyle, especially showing how fueling properly impacts both physical and mental health. Nutrition is often overlooked, especially in PHE, but it’s key for performance and overall well-being of our students.

I also love how you connected nutrition to physical literacy and mental health. A balanced diet helps with endurance, recovery, and mood, which keeps us motivated. Your seminar activities, like the “Build Your Ideal Athlete’s Plate” and the “Myth vs. Fact Nutrition Quiz,” sound like fun and interactive ways to make nutrition more relatable for the audience.

I also appreciate how you included different cultural and dietary approaches. It’s important to recognize that nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your post shows how different diets can support various needs to more diverse and inclusive.

I really feel like your seminar will be a great way for us + students to reflect on their nutrition habits and learn how to fuel their bodies for better health and I look forward to hearing it in a few weeks!
