Benefits of healthy eating for children

Research into the eating habits we develop as children has suggested that a healthy diet during the early years means we stand a good chance of carrying these habits throughout our lives. In short, educating children on healthy eating can lay the path for a healthy life.

Eating well and engaging in regular physical activity can help children to:

• develop strong bones
• grow healthily
• concentrate at school
• maintain a healthy weight
• stay active and alert.
