This story reminds us that we rely on one another. Does anyone have a story about a time a friend or loved one made a sacrifice to help you? What about a sacrifice you made to help someone else?

Thematic Connection: Well Being and SYNERGY!
What does SYNERGY mean? Synergy is when things that are combined are even BETTER than what they would be if you had them individually. Food is a great example of synergy. So is team work!
Did you know...
- When you eat beans OR rice OR corn you get some protein but if you eat them together your body gest even more protein out of ALL of them!
- That when you cook greens your body can't get all the nutrients inside of them... but if you add mustard, your body CAN!
- If you add a little bit of salt to something sweet, it will taste sweeter. If you add a little sweetness to something salty it will taste saltier. (That's why fast food restaurants add sugar to their french fries and why there is salt in ice cream!)
- A team that is working together well can get more done with less effort than a group not using teamwork.
PRESENTERS: Remember the mouse magnifier icon means you can click on the image to zoom in/out.
<Body Break> Bring a rock n' roll attitude to that body break. Rock it out people!
Combination Foods
Take a look at this *Activity Sheet about Combination Foods. Each combined set of foods is better than the ingredients for the dish if you ate them separately. Decide what categories of foods the combinations come from.
The links below show the INGREDIENTS for the first 3 combination foods in the worksheet.
Would you rather eat the combination food item or the ingredients for it separately? If you think they taste better in combination, that's synergy!
Serving Sizes
Before we go look at the worksheet, will you share how much you usually eat of ONE of the following foods? (each responder can pick one food they want to share about)
- Pizza: how many slices?
- Mashed potatoes: how much of the plate?
- Pasta: How big a bowl?
- French fries: What size of order?
- Fresh cherries: How many handfuls?
Do you think that's too much, too little or just right?
This *worksheet refers to the 5 food groups but we're just going to look at the three that we know for sure are healthful. Remember that healthful food is whole, natural and NOT processed. It doesn't come from a factory or with extra chemicals.
Look at the serving sizes. How do they compare to the amounts you normally eat of those foods? Are you over-eating, under-eating, or eating a healthful amount?
Serving sizes matter, both for health and synergy. We want to eat as many DIFFERENT foods as possible. Remember that our gut microbes LOVE variety. They don't like to have the same stuff day after day. To have room for a lot of different foods we need to eat reasonable portions of all the different stuff. Here is a graphic that helps us imagine good portions.
Synergy Snacks!
Take a look at *these healthful snack recipes. Do you think you might try these at home sometime? Show them to the peopel you live with and ask if they would like to try them.
Please share your favorite healthful snacks that are combination foods.
