Dr. Watts would like schools in general to put more emphasis on nutrition and ensure that it is part of the curriculum. Teachers should try to work it into their everyday lessons, he says. For instance, pictures of fruits and vegetables can be used to teach math concepts. Dr. Watts wants children to understand and appreciate healthy diets so they can select healthy foods. Dr. Watts isn’t interested only in children’s health. He also has helped design a church-based program to help African-Americans lower their blood pressure. In Philadelphia, he has started working with organizations to support their research focused on improving the health and well-being of people who struggle with diabetes and other diseases. At Temple, he spends a lot of time teaching students about nutrition, health, and the community. Dr. Watts takes his advice to heart. He tries to lead a life that promotes not just his physical health, but also his mental, emotional, and social well-being. He says he stays healthy by eating well and being physically active. He has a positive outlook on life, and he surrounds himself with positive people to keep his emotional well-being in good shape. And he tries to smile as much as possible. —By Elena Tsivekis and Rebekah Wilford, senior reporters; Brianna Neely and Cecily Ritchie East Norriton Bulldog Bulletin Illustrations by Amayrami Lopez, Gotwals Healthy Press
