The Significance of Diet Education in Kindergarten

The significance of food education in kindergartens is as follows:

(1) can cultivate children's correct diet knowledge. With the improvement of living standards, people have formed many bad eating habits and unbalanced nutrient intake in order to satisfy their appetite, which has led to the formation of obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases, seriously endangering their health.

Diet education is specifically aimed at the harm of bad eating habits and wrong eating concepts to people's health. With the deepening of food industrialization and commercialization, advertising has a greater and greater impact on people's lifestyles, especially young people whose ideology is still in the immature stage, which has become the target of businesses.

Some foods called "junk food" have become their hobbies. And obsessed with following, but I don't know that my health is threatened. It is precisely because I have not received good education on diet knowledge since I was a child that I have no correct understanding of diet structure and safety. Over the years, I have developed unhealthy eating habits.

Food education means cultivating education from an early age, strangling wrong ideas in the cradle and instilling correct cognition into the mind. For example, for many children who don't want to eat vegetables, they can recognize the shapes of various edible plants. Understand the growth process of these plants.

Then understand their indispensable role in people's growth and let it gradually develop into a habit. Deep-rooted and unbreakable beliefs, thus forming good eating behavior.

The choice of ingredients and tableware, cooking and eating, and the choice of eating environment are all closely related to the accumulation of national culture. The basic characteristics of cultural catering activities are determined by national natural customs, historical culture and social economy.

Diet education has become a new medium to carry forward the traditional diet culture. Run through culture in food activities, help children master knowledge and cultivate their love for the country and the nation.
