Eat Right Get Moving
Baltimore's Blueprint to Reduce Childhood Obesity.
Held at the Carmelo Anthony Youth Development Center, this community wide and “free to the public” health summit brought individuals, families, and community organizations together to promote healthier environments at home, school, and community. Parents, teachers, community advocates and children learned about affordable and healthy choices for food with the help of a nutritionist by shopping in Kaiser Permanente’s first ever corner store. People could also learn how to make their own meals by participating in healthy
cooking demonstrations. Educational workshops on healthy living were available for all ages. On the main floor, children and parents participated in various physical activities and exercise like Tae Kwon Do, boxing and aerobics and Ki-R7, the fitness robot, taught kids of all ages various dance moves. Adults could even get a glucose screening --- simply by signing up. The summit was designed so that no matter what time of the day you arrived at the center, you could participate in interactive
activities every 15 minutes to get you started in making the right choices for a healthier life.
