Healthy Eating's video: Well-Nourished Brighter Futures Discussion with Experts

Nutrition is vital to achieving optimal health during key developmental stages of life, such as pregnancy, childhood and adolescence. Adequate intake of nourishing foods during these key growth periods impacts many aspects of children’s lives, from physical growth and development to mental health and cognitive ability. Statewide collaboration across disciplines to find solutions and develop approaches to meeting challenges and opportunities will be required to ensure children are supported to be healthy. The Well Nourished, Brighter Futures initiative believes nutrition education for children, caregivers and teachers who provide nutrition for children is essential to ensuring children and families understand what they need to grow healthfully.
