Yesterday marks the beginning of a pilot nutrition education program called Nutro-Kidz (Wellness Club). Nutrolution and City Year Org. are working together to implement a nutrition education in the Miami Dade Schools for middle school kids in City Year's after school "starfish" program to start.
My goal for the program is to teach these children about nutrition and their bodies, and bring up awareness for disease prevention topics including diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. From the surveys we received yesterday, I learned that the kids are both interested in and in need of nutrition education.
We realize that if an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure, then our time is best spent educating our country's children. With the health care crisis moving exponentially into children's health, we hope to create a wave of nutrition awareness and lifestyle modification which will overturn the wave of disease and poor health that we as a country have been riding.
Hi and welcome! I'll bring you relevant info and my original perspectives on nutrition. I'm a licensed and registered dietitian/nutritionist, and I've learned a few things in 10 years practicing. I've realized that nutrition is the most important factor in how we look, think, feel and age. I own www.nutrolution.com, offering superior nutritional and botanical supplements and consultations. I want you to look and feel your best, so come join me!
