Early Nutrition for Later Health
Addressing key issues on the nutritional requirements and eating behaviour of one to three year olds
London 2008
Study Days 2008
It is never too early to begin promoting a healthy diet. The younger children learn how to eat healthily, the more likely they are to adopt a balanced diet in adult life. Early nutritional guidance may therefore be a key public health strategy in preventing obesity, thereby reducing a child’s risk of developing a range of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer in later life.
Key Topics
- Early nutrition affects later health – the weight issue
- The psychology of eating – the early years
- Early nutrition and children`s behaviour, learning and mood
