PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Staying physically active throughout a lifetime is a well-known key component to living a healthy lifestyle. And yet, today it is estimated that 2/3 of our nation’s kids and 95% of U.S adults are not getting the recommended level of regular physical activity. EMIC has a solution available that targets pregnant women and new mothers, offering fun and engaging exercises that moms can do alone and with their babies, so that exercising together becomes routine and the importance of staying active is instilled very early on in the child’s life.

NUTRITION

It is estimated today that the typical American diet exceeds the recommended intake level or limit of calories from solid fats and added sugars, refined grains, sodium and saturated fat. In addition, Americans eat less than the recommended amounts of vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, dairy products and oils known to make up a healthy, balanced diet. EMIC offers a fun educational solution that targets elementary-aged children, teaching them about gardening and nutrition and building a foundation of healthy eating habits they can continue on their own throughout a lifetime.
