Nutrition education should be integrated throughout the curriculum to thoroughly teach students about its importance for their health and lives. While technology can engage students, non-digital activities also effectively teach nutrition when the content relates to students and avoids judgmental language. Educators should model healthy behaviors and habits for students, help them set realistic health goals, and be conscious of promoting student wellness.

Three points I want to remember
