Okul sağlığı ve beslenme programları

Çocuk ve adolesanlara sağlıklı beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite yapma alışkanlığı kazandırılması açısından okullar etkili rol oynamaktadır. Okullar, çocukluk çağı şişmanlığı, koroner kalp hastalığı, diyabet ve kanser gibi kronik hastalıkların önlenmesi için uygulanan ulusal çabaların önemli bir parçasıdır. Okullarda uygulanan beslenme programları, çocukların eğitime katılma potansiyelini, akademik performansı ve yaşam kalitesini arttırır. Çocuklara sağlıklı bir gelecek sağlamak için okul temelli beslenme eğitimi programlarına ulusal olarak öncelik verilmelidir. Okul beslenme programlarının, hükümetler, toplum liderleri, doktor, diyetisyen, hemşire, öğretmen ve ailelerin katılımıyla, uygulanması ve devamı sağlanmalıdır. Bu derleme yazıda, halk sağlığı ve eğitimin bir parçası olan okul sağlığı ve beslenme programları özetlenmiştir.
