Nutrition education for healthcare professionals

Nutrition education is key to changing the eating habits and lifestyles of the population towards healthier patterns. In this regard, early childhood is a key time to act as this is when we establish the eating habits and preferences that will be carried over into adulthood. Food education is a basic tool for health professionals to transmit to the different groups the knowledge necessary for a healthy diet and the skills to put it in practice, and to address the attitudinal barriers and/or facilitators that hinder or help people lead a healthy lifestyle. The great challenge for professionals is also to teach patients to be critical with information so that they can dismantle the misconceptions that exist in today's society about nutrition.
