Nutrition Month – Potential to Prevent

In Celebration of Nutrition Month we are giving tips from the campaign all month long. The theme this year is “Unlock the Potential of Food!”. The third topic covers the Potential to Prevent. This topic discusses how a healthy balanced diet can lower the risk of developing chronic disease. Instilling healthy habits at a young age can help children develop lifelong healthy eating habits over a lifetime. Starting your children with eating a balanced diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables can help to prevent chronic disease later in life.  We encourage all of our KES Clubs to serve fruits and vegetables every day. Try this fun recipe at your KES Club this week to ensure kids are getting their proper fruit servings at Breakfast Club:
