- Summary:
- Improving the quality of the American diet is a major challenge. Poor nutrition and lack of physical activity increase morbidity, mortality, and economic costs due to disease and lost productivity. Nutrition education can promote good health and prevent disease. Well-designed, behavior-focused interventions can improve diets and nutrition related behaviors. Federal nutrition assistance programs offer a chance to deliver nutrition and healthy lifestyle messages to those they serve, particularly children. However, critical changes are needed to make program-based nutrition education fully effective in improving nutrition and promoting good health.
