Kids get
health
boost
Soccer star Brandi Chas-
tain and former 49ers great
Bill "Bubba" Paris joined
State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Tom
Torlakson Thursday, Oct. 20,
in the launch of "Team
California for Healthy Kids,"
a statewide effort to promote
daily healthy eating and
physical activity in schools,
child care programs and
communities.
"Because student health
and student learning go hand
in hand, we want to empower
every child and every family
in California to make healthy
food and physical activity
choices every day," Torlak-
son said. "With Team Cali-
fornia for Healthy Kids,
we'll help make the healthy
choices the easy choices. Our
goal is no child left indoors."
"We know that healthy
children miss fewer days of
school, perform better in the
classroom and have a better
chance of graduating and
going on to college," said
Chastain, whose game-
winning penalty kick in 1999
won the Women's World Cup
for the United States.
"Helping children get healthy
and stay that way is a smart
way to brighten California's
future."
"Just as it takes a team to
win a Super Bowl, we need a
team effort to help Califor-
nia's kids get healthy and
stay healthy -- that's a team
I'm proud to join," said Paris,
whose standout play as an
offensive lineman over 17
seasons helped the 49ers win
three Super Bowls.
The creation of Team Cali-
fornia for Healthy Kids comes
at a time of growing concern
about the health of students.
More than one in three
California children is obese
or overweight. In addition,
chronic diseases such as
asthma, diabetes, obesity
and tooth decay affect 20 to
30 percent of children and
adolescents in California,
which leads to more absentee-
ism and lower school perfor-
mance.
A teacher and longtime
high 'school cross-country
cbach, Torlakson's effort
;seeks to engage celebrity
-athletes, community leaders
and public health advocates
as well as parents, teachers
and students. This will
take place in schools, early
childhood and after school
programs, and throughout
the community.
The campaign is initially
focused on three major goals:
--Increasing physical activ-
ity, especially moderate-to-
vigorous physical activity
throughout the day, every
day, in schools and communi-
ties.
--Increasing access to fresh
fruits and vegetables in meals
and snacks in early childhood
and after school programs,
and in salad bars in schools.
--Increasing access to
drinking water.
Athletes and others in-
volved in the campaign will
be visiting schools through-
out the state to encourage
local efforts.
