Leader’s GuideWelcome!Welcome to the Eat Smart, Live Strong Activity Kit. By using these fourfun, interactive sessions, you can help low-income older adults adopttwo key behaviors that will improve their health and quality of life:1 Eat at least 31/2 cups of fruits and vegetables every day1(11/2 cups of fruits and 2 cups of vegetables)2Participatein at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the weekThis introductory guide explains what the kit activities are designed toaccomplish – and why they work.Eat Smart, Live StrongWill Make a Difference!1This recommendation is based upon the estimated calorie need (1,600 calories) of sedentary women ages 60–74 years, depending onexercise and activity levels. Calorie intake in older adults can range from 1,600 calories to 2,600 calories per day (see page 7).
Leader’sGuideOlder Adults Will Benefitfrom Eat Smart, Live StrongThe four sessions in this kit are designed for able-bodied, independent,older adults 60 to 74 years of age. They promote specific eating andphysical activity behaviors shown to improve health and well-being. Thesessions are designed to: Encourage older adults to learn new skills Provide leaders with facilitated discussions and activities that promoteenjoyable, social, and interactive learning Engage older adults in activities that can encourage behavior change Assist program providers in delivering nutrition education to older adultsUnited States Department of AgricultureUnited States Department of AgricultureUnited States Department of AgricultureUnited States Department of AgricultureEat Smart, Live StrongEat Smart, Live StrongEat Smart, Live StrongNutrition Education for Older AdultsNutrition Education for Older AdultsNutrition Education for Older AdultsNutrition Education for Older AdultsReach Your Goals,Step by StepChallengesand SolutionsColorful andClassic FavoritesEat Smart,Spend LessEat Smart, Live StrongParticipants set goals for eating more fruitsand vegetables and being more physicallyactive.

Leader’sGuideEat Smart, Live StrongEat Smart, Live StrongSessions Focus on BehaviorGood intentions and knowledge about health are not enough tomake people healthy. Unless older adults actively do something,their health status does not improve and may even decline morerapidly. Each session in Eat Smart, Live Strong focuses on changingbehavior by guiding participants in learning and practicingnew skills.Changing habits is hard. You are asking participants to take onbehaviors that they will need to repeat every day. Trying tochange too many behaviors at once can be overwhelming.Eat Smart, Live Strong helps you focus your efforts on just twobehaviors. If participants adopt and maintain just these two simplebehaviors, you can help them make a difference in their lives.“Most vegetables and fruits are major contributors of a number of nutrientsthat are underconsumed in the United States, including folate, magnesium,potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins A, C, and K.”— 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.20102United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Eat Smart, Live Strong
Leader’sGuide1Experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, and public healthagree that eating more fruits and vegetables and participating inphysical activity will benefit almost everyone. If older adults eatat least 31/2 cups of fruits and vegetables daily as part of an overallhealthy diet, they may: Get some of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber the bodyneeds to maintain good health Maintain energy levels Maintain regularity Prevent or delay the effects of chronic disease such asobesity, hypertension, and heart diseaseAdd color, taste, and variety to the diet 2When older adults participate in at least 30 minutes of physicalactivity most days, they may: Prevent or delay the effects of chronic disease Feel better Decrease stress, anxiety, and depression Help control weight Build and maintain healthy bones,muscles, and joints Improve strength Increase balance and reduce the riskof falling Improve sleepSharing the benefits gained by practicing these two behaviorswill encourage older adults to try them.Leader’s Guide3
Leader’sGuideEat Smart, Live StrongEat Smart, Live StrongEncourages People to Eat Betterand Exercise MoreFor older adults to adopt new behaviors, they must feelencouraged and see how they will benefit from the behaviors.People are more likely to adopt a behavior when they: Have a chance to try it and find that they like it Feel that it will be easy to do and are confident that theycan do itBelieve that others support them in the new behavior; people such as family members, peers, and healthprofessionals Set a goal to start a new habit, track their success, andgain a sense of accomplishment Participate in active learning, offering their own experiencesand solutionsSee how potential obstacles can be overcome with new strategies and solutionsAll four sessions in this kit stress these important ways ofencouraging participants to achieve the two behaviors.“The amount of physical activity necessary to successfully maintain a healthy bodyweight depends on calorie intake and varies considerably among adults, includingolder adults.”— 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.4United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Eat Smart, Live Strong
Leader’sGuideIn addition, the session activities provide: Games and activities that engage participants in learning Opportunities to socialize, which is important both to drawolder adults to the sessions and to demonstrate that otherslike them value the two behaviors Exercises to demonstrate physical activitySuggestions for reinforcement tools or items to keep participants engagedThe session titles are:1 Reach Your Goals, Step by StepSession 2 Challenges and SolutionsSession 3 Colorful and Classic FavoritesSession 4 Eat Smart, Spend LessSessionParticipants will share experiences, and each of the foursessions will draw on their personal and practical knowledgeand understanding.“Today, we know a lot more about older adults and their need to exercise. Regardlessof their health and physical abilities, older adults can gain a lot by staying physicallyactive. Even if you have difficulty standing or walking, you can still exercise and benefitfrom it. In fact, in most cases, you have more to lose by not doing anything.”— Exercise and Physical Activity: Your Everday Guide from National Institute for Aging, May 2011.Leader’s Guide5
Leader’sGuideEat Smart, Live StrongDietary Guidelines forAmericans and ChooseMyPlateEat Smart, Live Strong is based on recommendations from the2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a rich source of dietaryhealth information for nutrition educators and health providers.These guidelines are based on the most up-to-date scientificevidence, and provide information and advice for choosing anutritious diet, maintaining a healthy weight, achieving adequateexercise, and avoiding foodborne illness. The Dietary Guidelinesfor Americans reinforce the importance of a nutritious diet andregular physical activity in achieving and maintaining a healthybody weight for older adults.Increasing the level of daily physical activity may also provideindirect nutritional benefits for older adults. A low-activity lifestylelimits the number of calories that can be consumed withoutgaining weight. The higher a person’s physical activity level, thehigher his energy requirement, and the easier it is to plan adaily food intake pattern that meets recommended nutrientrequirements.The Web site www.ChooseMyPlate.gov is an interactive site tohelp individuals 2 years and older use the USDA food guidancesystem. The site provides individualized food plans, as well as tipsfor following the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.The table on page 7 highlights the recommended caloric intakeand fruit and vegetable consumption for older adults 60 to 74years of age. Encourage participants to eat the recommendeddaily amounts based on age, gender, and physical activity level tomeet their nutritional needs.6United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Eat Smart, Live Strong

Leader’sGuideAt the end of an Eat Smart, Live Strong session, ask participants if they would like todevelop a personal eating plan at ChooseMyPlate.gov. You can make group or individualappointments with interested older adults. You will need to use a digital device, suchas a laptop or computer, with an Internet connection. To create a personal food plan for anolder adult: Go to ChooseMyPlate.gov and lookfor the “SuperTracker” button inthe middle of the screen. Ask the participants if they would liketo create a profile by entering theirage, sex, and physical activity levelor use the general plan. If needed,review the customized or sample planwith your participants to clarify anyinformation. If participants are only interested inidentifying their calorie needs,educators can also provide a personalDaily Plan. Enter the individual’s age, sex,weight, height, and physical activitylevel to obtain a custom calorie planto maintain or achieve a healthyweight. Create a printout version ofthe results by clicking on the printoptions at the right of the screen.Follow up with the participant after about a week to check progress.Leader’s Guide9

Leader’sGuidePartnerships andCommunity ResourcesPreparation andMaterials CostsEvery effort has been made to keep theactivities low in cost. Some facilitators areable to use donated food and otherproducts for food demonstrations andtasting.Cost of Fruits andVegetablesParticipants may point out that fresh fruitsand vegetables cost more than other foods.You will need to be ready to discuss lowcost options, especially during Sessions 2and 4. Suggest other forms of fruits andvegetables such as dried, frozen, and cannedoptions. Show samples of canned vegetableslabeled as low sodium and canned fruitspacked in 100% juice or water. Throughoutthese sessions, there are tips that you canshare to help participants make choices tofit their budgets.As you review the sessions, think of localcommunity resources that can helppromote the behaviors. You may find otherpartners in your community who canprovide discounts to your participants,recruit low-income older adults to cometo your sessions, or offer space for you tohold your sessions. Become familiar withnutrition assistance programs and othercommunity resources such as:FNS Nutrition Assistance Programs Supplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (SNAP) Older Americans Act Nutrition Program Commodity Supplemental Food Program Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Food Distribution Programs on IndianReservationsOther Community Resources Home-delivered meal program Local congregate dining sites Local food banks and pantries Senior centers Community-based organizations Grocery stores Local American Association of RetiredPersons (AARP) Local Departments on AgingRefer participants to their local health careproviders (clinics, dietitians, and nurses) toaddress health concerns or chronic diseasesthat may affect their dietary or physicalactivity choices.By making connections in your communitybeforehand, you will be able to direct yourparticipants to specific resources that canaddress their individual needs.Leader’s Guide11
Leader’sGuideEat Smart, Live StrongPreparing for the Eat Smart,Live Strong Sessions continuedTailoring the Sessions for Your GroupsYou may choose to do some or all of the activities in each session. You may also wish toadapt the activities to meet the specific needs of your site or your group participants.Tips for adjusting the sessions and ideas for expanding or reinforcing the activities areaddressed throughout the session guides.To tailor the sessions, consider the following:Available SpaceTimeThe space where you meet may requireyou to make some changes to the session.For example, if you do not have blank wallspace for posting cards, consider layingthe cards out on a table. If you cannotmove the chairs into a circle or place themaround a table, you will want to findanother way to allow participants tointeract with one another.The approximate time youwill need to conduct eachsession is about 45 minutes.If you have more time, usethe exercises prepared for that session.Each booklet includes a different set ofoptional, non-strenuous exercises touse as w
