Globally, unhealthy dietary patterns and sedentary behaviours are known as leading risk factors for health and wellbeing. Rapid urbanisation, changing lifestyles, and increased production and ready availability of highly processed foods have shifted people’s dietary patterns. This type of diet has increased the consumption of fats, energy-dense foods, and for many people, the inadequate consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
Nutrition education can help young people to attain the knowledge and the skills that they need to make proper food choices and develop lifelong healthy eating patterns.
Nutrition-related problems among school-age children nowadays become potentially serious. As a result, in order to prevent obesity and other nutritionally related diseases in the young generations, we have invited nutrition, fitness & health expert Marko Dimitrijevic and his team of experts Djordje Milovanov, Vanja Radovic, and Dr. Sanja Mazic to speak to our students about the benefits of eating healthy and exercising. The kids went bananas and loved it! We all agreed that this has been a very productive and fruitful day! ;)
