Nutritional education is a crucial tool to solve this issue, the lack of knowledge about
healthy eating can lead to poor dietary habits from an early age which could
contribute to childood obesity. To face this challenge, it is essential to implement
effective educational programs in schools.
These programs should provide infomation about the importance of a balanced diet,
rich in fruits and vegetables, promoting water consumption, explain the effect of
processed foods and how to avoid it, and also teach children to read nutritional
labels.
