Health and Nutrition

Part of the TEAM’s goals are to create a healthy and physical environment in order to form good lifelong habits within its members. There is no doubt that living a healthy lifestyle is very important in helping to relieve stress, become physically fit, and reduce the risk of certain diseases.

Every meeting, there are a variety of healthy snacks provided for the students and a portion of our time together dedicated to physical activity of some sort. Since I have become a mentor I’ve had the opportunity to participate in Yoga, basketball, missionary tag, dodge ball, and capture the flag. 

There are so many options when it comes to physical activity, many that don’t even make you feel like you’re exercising! TEAM coordinators and mentors are open to any ideas students can bring to meetings that involve physicality. This portion of our time together really is the most enjoyable, in my opinion. Not only are the students getting their exercise with fun activities, but they are also learning about teamwork and leadership!
