HEALTHY NUTRITION FOR CHILDREN IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
- Share to:
Nutrition is one of the most important factors in protecting and developing
human health beginning from the pregnancy stage of the mother. Healthy,
satisfactory and balanced nutrition is essential for everybody, especially
for children, because nutritional habits that are made in our early ages
turn out to be our lifetime habits.
Infancy, childhood and adolescence periods, as being periods of rapid
growth and development, are important stages for the making of good,
healthy and satisfactory nutritional habits. Growth and development is
deeply related with various factors like nutrition, genetic structure, gender,
environment, socio-economic position, culture and traditions. It is not
always possible to control genetic and environmental factors, but at least
by making conscious nutritional habits beginning from childhood, we can
make a strong effect on our health, happiness and the quality, length and
productivity of our life.
“While healthy nutrition is the basis of healthy childhood, healthy childhood
in its turn is the basis of healthy life”. This is the motto with which the
Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education of Republic of Turkey
started a program called “Nutritional Training in Primary Education”. We
expect to make an important contribution to the nutritional education
of our children with this book which is published with the joint efforts of
the Ministry of Health of Republic of Turkey and the Baskent University.
I strongly hope that this book will be useful for our children, and their
teachers and families. And I would like to thank to esteemed academician
Prof. Dr. Nilgün Karaa¤ao¤lu from the Department of Nutrition and
Dietetics of Faculty of Health Sciences of Baskent University and all
those who have made a contribution to the preparation of this book.
