This book was released on 2009 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: The dramatic rise in childhood obesity demands those educating youth strive for novel approaches to address this public health problem. Effective nutrition education for children should provide them the knowledge and skills to maintain lifelong healthy eating patterns. The use of peers in education and learning may provide a unique channel to impact the lifestyle habits of school age children. Purpose: This pilot study describes and reports on the effectiveness of a peer designed nutrition education program for school age children teaching the importance of eating breakfast, evaluates its ability to increase basic nutrition knowledge and measures its impact upon the peer leaders. Methods: Forty-two second grade students from three classrooms received nutrition intervention from seven teacher-selected fifth graders. These seven fifth graders were trained as peer leaders to design and administer nutrition lessons and related activities over a series of three classes. Second grade students completed an assessment of knowledge, attitude and behavior pre and post intervention. A process evaluation based upon peer leader feedback, direct classroom observation and teacher interviews were completed. Results: Mean score of nutrition knowledge increased (3.52 to 3.67) with peer led nutrition intervention, although not significantly (F=1.086, p=0.348). The program was highly accepted by the peer leaders and classroom involved. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated peer-led nutrition education programs in elementary schools are feasible."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2013-09-21 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following: Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools; Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education; Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education. Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.

This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) helps schoolchildren and the school community to achieve lasting improvements in their food practices and outlooks; build the capacity to change and to adapt to external change; and pass on their learning to others. SFNE has also an important role in complementing efforts that are being made globally to improve food environments, and in empowering children and adolescents to become active participants in shaping the food system to be better able to deliver healthy and sustainable diets. Despite increasing interest for SFNE, the evidence that supports it and its potential, much of traditional SFNE, particularly in LMICs, is largely underfunded, not delivering results, and disconnected from other key interventions that aim to support the food, nutrition, environment, and education nexus. SFNE is under-resourced, with capacity development opportunities lacking throughout the school system.This White Paper is the first document of its kind, and it is based on the evidence, professional expertise, and field experience, lessons learned, and documented challenges of SFNE work in a variety of contexts. It presents the case for raising the profile and transforming the vision and learning model of SFNE. This document is directed firstly to a technical audience working in governmental organizations that deal with schoolchildren and adolescents and is also of interest to researchers, technical advisors, decision-makers, donors and investors, civil society, and UN organizations.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity in childhood and adolescence is a major national and global public health concern. Nutrition education programs are important tools in the fight against obesity. Including cooking skill development as part of nutrition education programs could enhance the effectiveness of these programs in helping to prevent obesity. With this in mind, this project developed and implemented a combined nutrition and cooking curriculum based on MyPlate principles for 7th grade students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). This behavior-based intervention program aimed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to make simple, nutritionally balanced meals in accordance with recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of macro and micronutrients. Students were to receive five 1-hour nutrition classes and five 1-hour cooking classes over a 5-week period. The curriculum was delivered to one gifted 7th grade class in the medical magnet program at Christopher Columbus Middle School in Canoga Park, California. During the lessons, qualitative observations were noted to allow for changes to be made to the curriculum to improve learning outcomes. In addition, four dietetic experts evaluated the curriculum, and modifications were made based on their feedback. Providing adolescents with nutrition knowledge and cooking skills is one tool to help prevent childhood obesity.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what we’re consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.

Book excerpt: With obesity in adolescents becoming a major health problem in the United States, there has been an expansion in the use of nutritional education programs as intervention. Effective nutrition education can decrease the incidence of obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. This dissertation in practice proposes to design a nutrition education program, integrating farm and culinary activities into a nutrition education curriculum. The program is designed as a stand-alone program, but for this practice, implementation integrates the nutrition education program into the Film [at sign] 6 after-school progra--a STEM-focused program designed to assist sixth graders in their first year of middle school--at Southeast Middle School in Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina (NC). This experiential nutrition education program will provide instruction and activities in order to increase nutritional knowledge, improve culinary techniques, and increase consumption of fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods of sixth grade students as a means to address the overweight and obesity risks of middle school children. Children and adolescents are considered the priority population for intervention strategies because 70% of obese adolescents become obese adults and it is difficult to reduce excessive weight once established (Dehghan, Akhtar-Danesh, & Merchant, 2005).
