Photo Friday - Promoting Proper Nutrition All Year Round
This year, the theme of national nutrition month is "Eat Right with Color" and it's a great time to think about adding more colorful fruits and vegetable to your diet. In this photo, nutritionist Dr. Sandra Arevalo is teaching her patient what his dinner plate should look like. We're glad to see he is adding his greens!
Our programs are committed to helping families understand healthy eating and exercise habits through programs like the Starting Right Initiative, a multi-faceted program designed to increase awareness of the rise in pediatric overweight risks including type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Children's Health Fund also creates health education materials that make vital health information accessible to children, teenagers, parents and care givers. Material topics include promoting healthy behaviors, growth and development, preventing disease and managing chronic illness.
