Educated Choices Program "Unlocking Diabetes" Ed. Package in Partnership with Doctors

TelAve News/10879425
ATLANTA - TelAve -- The Educated Choices Program (ECP) is proud to announce the debut of its new education package, "Unlocking Diabetes: Nutrition is the Key (https://learnecprogram.org/presentation/46)." In time to support several diabetes awareness observances in November, ECP has collaborated with Doctors for Nutrition (https://www.doctorsfornutrition.org/) (DFN) to deliver an impactful video and resources that underscore the importance of dietary choices in diabetes prevention and management. This is the second health-focused resource developed in partnership with DFN, an Australasian-based, doctor-led nonprofit dedicated to advancing whole food plant-based nutrition as a pillar of lifestyle medicine.

"Unlocking Diabetes: Nutrition is the Key (https://learnecprogram.org/presentation/46)" encourages the education of the types and prevalence of diabetes, as well as the informed dietary decisions that individuals can make in the management and even reversal of type 2 diabetes. Intended for ages 12+, students and teachers can look forward to completing the following learning objectives:
  1. Define diabetes and identify its major types and global prevalence.
  2. Explain how different dietary choices, like eating foods high in unhealthy fats, refined carbohydrates, and added sugars, versus those with whole grains and complex carbs, affect your body's blood sugar and your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of diabetes-friendly foods by designing a meal plan that incorporates whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, while limiting added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats.
The "Unlocking Diabetes: Nutrition is the Key" Video and Curriculum Package includes free accompanying and follow-up resources for classrooms and community groups, including guided notes, lesson plans, activities, homework, and more, all while following Next Generation Science Standards (https://www.nextgenscience.org/) (NGS) and supporting many global academic standards (https://www.ecprogram.org/standards). These materials have also received the Doctor for Nutrition Seal of Approval (https://www.ecprogram.org/post/educated-choices...), which was also awarded to "Healthful Eating (https://learnecprogram.org/presentation/16)," the younger-focused "Eat for Your Health (https://learnecprogram.org/presentation/42)," and "Heart Smart (https://learnecprogram.org/presentation/45)," the first resource developed under this new partnership.
