UNICEF Ghana’s Post

As we focus on nurturing the future leaders of tomorrow, it's crucial to recognize the pivotal role that healthy food plays in a child's development. Here's why providing nutritious meals for children is paramount: Fuel for Learning: Healthy meals provide the essential nutrients children need to fuel their bodies and minds, enhancing their ability to focus, concentrate, and learn effectively in the classroom. Promoting Well-being: A balanced diet contributes to overall health and well-being, reducing the risk of obesity, chronic diseases, and other health issues among children. It sets the foundation for a lifetime of good health habits. Educating for Life: Teaching children about the importance of healthy eating at a young age instils lifelong habits that promote wellness and prevent health complications later in life. It's an investment in their future well-being. Empowering Families: Providing healthy food options supports families by alleviating the financial burden of purchasing nutritious meals every day. It reinforces the value of healthy eating choices within communities. At The Children's Breakfast Club, we are committed to providing healthy breakfasts to children from low-income communities, ensuring they start their day with nourishment and readiness to learn. Join us in advocating for nutritious school meals and empowering the next generation! 🌈 #HealthyEating #ChildWellness #EducationMatters #TCBC

A key part of children thriving in environments that truly support their physical and mental well-being means it begins at home and carries forward to every school and extra-curricular activity a child is involved in. It means that when nutrition is the foundation, everything else a child does from home to school and beyond, they can give their best to as good nutrition plays a massive role in their overall development. Providing healthy, whole food, plant-based meals will make a significant difference in their lives. Our aim at PBNM is to help educate parents, making it easy for them to provide some of the foundational nutrition for their children. Another way is our initiative working with schools in Illinois to help them comply with the law that requires plant-based food options be offered in every school K-12, whether a public, private or charter school. It’s exciting work, but we want more hands helping. We can provide so much, yet if we remain a small group, we will be working more slowly. That’s why… If you are a parent, a child care giver, a school teacher, staff, or administrator in the Illinois school system or any school system in the US, connect with us so we can help you to help our children get the nutritious delicious food they deserve for growing their healthy bodies.

It’s World Teacher Day! Let’s celebrate the essential role that educators play in advancing Balanced’s mission to promote nutrition security and public health, especially among children. #Teachers are on the frontlines of shaping the future, not only through academic instruction but by fostering environments that support the holistic well-being of their students. Their influence in advocating for healthier, balanced school meals is critical. As trusted figures in the community, teachers can inspire positive change, helping students develop lifelong habits of nutritious eating, which is central to combating preventable diet-related diseases like heart disease and type-2 diabetes. Balanced recognizes the importance of teachers in creating food environments that nurture both body and mind. Teachers can advocate for policies like the Focus on Fiber campaign, helping close the fiber gap in school meals, and ensuring that all students, regardless of background, can access the healthy foods they need to thrive. By partnering with educators, Balanced empowers schools to implement nutrition standards emphasizing plant-based, fiber-rich foods that improve academic performance and long-term health. Today, we honor teachers for their commitment to education and dedication to creating healthier futures for our children. Happy World Teachers’ Day! #WorldTeacherDay #Teacher #SchoolMeals

The pressure to eat healthily is all around us, schools, colleges, TV adverts…the list continues. You may think eating a balanced diet is surely a good thing, which of course it is. But for some people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities it’s not that simple. “The environment…is it clean enough? Can I eat with this noise? The texture…it doesn’t taste the same as last time, it’s too sour, the peel curls in my mouth and makes me gag. Who will I eat with? If I eat alone, I know I’m safe, safe from the strong smells. I just want to eat my lunch…the way I like it!” You see it’s not as simple as picking a healthy option for some children and young people. We need to support establishments where children and young people may struggle. Have you noticed a difference in your child’s eating?
