A balanced lifestyle is a key to healthy living. Nutritious food, daily exercise, and adequate rest all combine to keep you fit and healthy. School meals and snacks that support healthful food choices can produce immediate benefits for both the students and the community as a whole. Eating well can make a positive difference in a student’s ability to learn. Therefore, teaching nutrition to students throughout their educational experience is key to developing healthy eating habits. School-based nutrition education is an important component of comprehensive school health.
