Health Education for the Uplift of Health Conditions and School Performance
Abdullah, Alqalawi
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) (Antalya, Turkey, Apr 1-4, 2021)
Our topic is focused on health education within the school curriculum. It's to emphasize its importance in the short and long-course during the learning and growth process. Healthy diet presents an outstanding medium in enhancing cognitive efficiency and helps in assisting the acquisition process. Adopting a guided nutriment practice participates in empowering young individuals to better manage their consuming habits. It has been outlined in several studies across continents how food behaviorism, lifestyle factors, poor quality nutrients can compromise intellectual efficiency in the stage of knowledge acquisition alongside health issues. This has drawn serious concerns to governments and institutions (WHO, UNICEF, European Union, and states) to outpoint the impact of nutriments, notably their type and quality, on childhood health and development. Our paper is set to deliver scientific-based evidence through selected studies conducted across the globe on health and nutrition and their consequence upon pupils and school performance. The majority of the surveys centered on how good diet and appropriate food consumption habits or their absence could improve or impair the overall health conditions as well as school achievements. Health education programs throughout education curriculum can partake in drawing public awareness in regards to impoverished diets and processed fast-food. The aforementioned are often considered responsible for causing chronic diseases endowed with characterized symptoms. Integrating lifestyle principles in the education agenda would bestow worthy elements to amend physical and learning conditions. [For the full proceedings, see ED623569.]
