EAT Healthy New Haven Publishes Nutrition Advice for Parents of Young Children
Posted by admin on Mar 24, 2010
EAT (Education, Advocacy, Teamwork) Healthy New Haven was founded in 2006 with the goal of creating a health-promoting environment for families in the greater New Haven area. Based at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, the group is comprised of community advocates, researchers, and healthcare professionals who are committed to preventing and treating obesity in our community.
Recently, EAT Healthy New Haven launched a new, free “Nutrition Minute” series. These consist of 1 page hand-outs with simple nutrition tips for parents of children ages 2-5 years old, on topics including healthy beverages, healthy snacks and picky eating. The English, Spanish and Chinese hand-outs can be used by doctors, WIC professionals, and other healthcare provider offices, as well as at community centers or events. The backside of each hand-out is a fun, nutrition activity for children.
Visit the group’s website at http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/eathealthynh to download Nutrition Minutes for free (see the “Education” section). You can also find more information about EAT Healthy New Haven, other free materials, and additional resources. For questions or more information, please write to EAThealthyNH (at) yale.edu.
