8 Applications for Health - Food and Health Communications

Hollis Bass, MEd, RD, came up with a great idea for kids that has spurned a new product set. We wanted to share it here for members so they could use it for class ideas, too!

8 Applications of Health – Most kids know what an “App” is - either they have an iTouch or iPhone, or their friends do, too. Why not come up with 8 applications of health?

Here is her list:

1.i-move - don’t sit

2.i-choose - better choices

3.i-drink - not so much soda

4.i-read - food labels, that is

5.i-fruit/veg - more more more

6.i-measure - portion control

7.i-order - do better when out

8.i-health - what is health?

It is based for today’s kids who need to move more and make better food choices.

Judy Doherty

Judy’s passion for cooking began with helping her grandmother make raisin oatmeal for breakfast. From there she earned her first food service job at 15, was accepted to the world famous Culinary Institute of America at 18 (where she graduated second in her class), and went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland where she focused on pastry arts and baking. But after learning that the quality of a croissant directly varies with how much butter it has, Judy sought to challenge herself by coming up with recipes that were as healthy as they were tasty.

Judy received The Culinary Institute of America’s Pro Chef II certification, the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year. Her enthusiasm for eating nutritiously and deliciously leads her to constantly innovate and use the latest in nutritional science to guide her creativity, from putting new twists on fajitas to adapting Italian brownies to include ingredients like toasted nuts and cooked honey. Judy’s publishing company, Food and Health Communications, is dedicated to her vision that everyone can make food that tastes as good as it is for you.
