Cleveland Cavaliers guard Anthony Parker took 21 fourth graders on a tour of a Whole Foods Market recently, teaching them the importance of good nutrition.
After the tour, Parker made vegetarian wraps with the students consisting of hummus, arugula, red peppers and carrots.
The students were randomly selected to spend the day with Parker as part of the Cavaliers’ Fit as a Pro program with Medical Mutual.
The program is designed to encourage physical fitness and good eating habits in northeast Ohio elementary students.
“As athletes, we have to eat healthy,” Parker said. “It’s important that it becomes a lifestyle, not a diet.”
“Whole Foods Market is pleased to join forces with the Cleveland Cavaliers to accomplish our 7th Core Value: Promoting the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education,” said Whole Foods Marketing Specialist /Community Liaison Jared Earley. “Through a store tour, cooking demonstration and other interactive activities, students learned the fundamentals of nutritious and delicious healthy eating and discovered that ‘Health Starts Here’ at Whole Foods Market Cedar Center.”
