It is stated in the “What is a Nutrition Program” it is any type of dietary program intended to help you reach your goal or control a condition or disease. The program provides examples of the types of foods you should eat regularly and those you should eat in moderation or avoid. A nutrition program can be strict or flexible depending on its main purpose.

Early intervention is the main key to success to prevent chronic long term problems like obesity, diabetes and osteoporosis. The three most important points for a public nutrition program are listed below.

  1. Begin educating children while in school at an early age. Educate healthy eating with parents for their children. While educating keep in mind the ages and cultures.
  2. Explain to the parents that healthy eating is needed for proper growth and development. Educate the parents of the consequences of eating unhealthy. Provide examples of long term conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
  3. Have available literature or brochures for the parents with example of meal plans. Provide picture brochures for the kids to see. Have samples available during your program.

Bringing this information into the nutrition program will help provide a better understanding for parents and their children.

According to the “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education and Evaluation Study” listed below are two of the nutritional education community resources they have listed:

  1. Healthy Meals Resource System (http://healthymeals.nal.usda.gov/): an online tool that facilitates the sharing of State and locally developed nutrition education and materials.
  2. WIC: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and health care referrals to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants, and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
