The Importance Of

Nutrition Education

Nutritional education gives students the opportunity to build healthy, life-long eating habits, learn important food skills, and develop a healthy relationship with food. With the guidance of a great nutrition education program, children can learn these valuable healthy lifestyle habits while they’re young, carrying them through the rest of their lives.

The benefits of developing nutrition and food literacy skills are endless. However, with the lack of nutrition education programs, these skills are still not being practiced enough—leaving children unable to develop critical healthy eating habits.
