Educators

Welcome to HealthBarn USA!

Your students' learning experiences are a number-one priority. As nutrition educators, we realize that school resources are limited and your time is incredibly valuable. With unprecedented rates of overweight, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and eating disorders in children, we must educate young children about the importance of living a healthy-lifestyle that includes HealthBarn USA's FIVE healthy habits:  1) eat fruits and vegetables 2) exercise 3) eat breakfast 4) get a good night sleep and 5) family meals!  

We also know that getting children excited about healthy behaviors and nutrition is a top priority at schools today.  With state-wide nutrition policies including the New Jersey Model Nutrition Policy in effect, educating about the importance of good nutrition is as important as providing healthier choices at school.
