SECTION 1

NUTRITION

Nutrition is a science that examines the
relationship between diet and health.
Dietitians are health professionals who
specialize in this area of study, and are
trained to provide safe, evidence-based
dietary advice and interventions.

SECTION 2

MALNUTRITION

Malnutrition is a general term for a
medical condition caused by an improper
or insufficient diet. It most often
refers to undernutrition resulting from
inadequate consumption, poor absorption,
or excessive loss of nutrients, but the
term can also encompass overnutrition,
resulting from overeating or excessive
intake of specific nutrients.

An individual will experience malnutrition
if the appropriate amount of, or quality
of nutrients comprising a healthy diet are
not consumed for an extended period of time.

An extended period of
malnutrition can result
in:

starvation,

disease,

infection.

A
HEALTHY
DIET

Maintaining a healthy diet is the practice
of making choices about what to eat with
the intent of improving or maintaining good
health.

Usually this involves consuming necessary
nutrients by eating the appropriate amounts
from all of the food groups. Since human
nutrition is complex a healthy diet may vary
widely subject to an individual's genetic
makeup, environment, and health.

For around 20% of the planet's population,
lack of food and malnutrition are the main
impediments to healthy eating.

WHAT IS
NUTRITIONAL VALUE?

The nutritional value of food refers to the quantity and quality
of nutrients found in the food item. Information about the energy
(measured in calories), the macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein,
fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and phytochemicals of
the food are required to understand this.

Foods have different nutritional value. To know the nutritional value
of certain foods, the USDA has created the National Nutrient Database
for Standard Reference, which lists the nutrient information of more
than 8,000 foods. Consumers can also find out the nutritional value
of food products by reading the Nutrient Facts Label of the package.
The FDA provides information on its site about the understanding and
use of Nutrition Facts Labels.

NUTRITION
EDUCATION

Why do I have to eat my broccoli? Why do I have to take milk with my lunch?
You've probably heard these questions before. Kids are curious, and teaching
them about nutrition can explain why we serve healthy meals and snacks at
school and home.

Tips

Whenever teaching nutrition, make sure the content is age-appropriate and
culturally sensitive.

Use meal times, such as school breakfast, snacks or lunch, to teach students
about healthy options.

Don't feel completely comfortable teaching nutrition education? Focus on these
key concepts: Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.

Consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Eating whole fruits is best, but drink 100% juice when choosing fruit juice.

Make at least half of your grains whole grains.

Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) dairy.

Consume 3 servings of dairy each day.

Limit soda and other sugar sweetened beverages. Water is the best option!

Teach through online nutrition games. When students have free computer time,
provide specific links where they can learn about nutrition and have fun,

Make sure nutrition education isn't only happening in the classroom Integrate
it in the morning announcements and in the cafeteria.

Offer nutrition education in a systematic way (i.e. monthly, weekly, as a unit)
as opposed to one-time or occasional lessons to help kids internalize the
information.
