Saline Student Rewarded For Healthy Living

Alyson E., a 5^th grade student at Heritage Elementary School, was the recipient of new bike from myNutratek and Town and Country Bikes of Brighton, for exemplary participation in myNutratek’s program during its recent “Spring Challenge” promotion. 

Runners up in myNutratek’s “Spring Challenge” were awarded plush friends from “The Bear Factory” at thebearfactory.com.

myNutratek is a family and community wellness program that integrates with local school districts to help kids make informed, healthful choices about their eating, exercise, sleep and other lifestyle habits. Key to the program is unique, dynamic online software that helps school children, teachers and their families’ record and report their health choices, understand their consequences and reward healthful behaviors. It uses an engaging, fun and private platform to connect children, their caregivers and physicians in a dialog about eating well, exercising and managing other wellness factors.

Rewarding students for using myNutratek’s tools for management of their personal health is an important part of myNutratek’s overall path to ongoing wellness.

Other components of myNutratek include:

• curriculum for teaching young people how to reach and maintain their best possible health;
• a comprehensive toolset for physicians to augment their treatment plans;
• online sleep and activity trackers;
• online games and activities; and
• downloadable and printable reporting that can be taken to the family physician to aid in developing individual management plans.

Each component in myNutratek supports widely accepted recommendations for consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy products, and participation in daily physical activity.

myNutratek is offered to public schools free of charge, with the support of sponsors including Ford Motor Company, The United Auto Workers, Livingston Area Little Caesar’s, Cleary University, Oakwood Hospitals and Healthcare Centers, Morgan Bradley and Kaizen Logistics Services LLC.
