This health literacy intervention study, conducted on adolescent students, aimed to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive educational program on promoting healthy eating habits. The intervention sought to enhance adolescents' knowledge about nutrition, foster self-regulation skills, and ultimately improve their overall health, including their body mass index (BMI). Through a multi-component approach that combined theoretical learning with practical activities and the integration of digital tools such as the MyFitnessPal app, the study targeted improvements in food literacy, which encompasses nutrition knowledge, food label interpretation skills, and cooking abilities. These elements are critical in influencing adolescents' food choices and eating behaviors, with a focus on increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables while reducing the intake of fast food and processed snacks. The intervention was structured around a series of educational workshops and interactive sessions, facilitated by professionals experienced in nutrition. These sessions covered topics such as food composition, the importance of a balanced diet, and strategies for avoiding excessive consumption of processed and high-energy-density foods. A distinctive feature of the program was its use of digital tools to enhance engagement and allow for the practical application of learned concepts through food tracking and activity monitoring. Preliminary results indicate positive outcomes in terms of increased food knowledge and improved dietary habits among participants. Notably, there was a significant improvement in adolescents' BMI, highlighting the potential of food literacy interventions to contribute to better physical health outcomes. The study underscores the importance of adopting multidisciplinary and technology-enhanced approaches in educational programs aimed at promoting healthy eating among adolescents. The study's findings suggest that well-structured food education programs, tailored to address the specific needs of adolescents, can facilitate positive changes in eating behavior. This highlights the critical role of food literacy in adolescents' health and wellbeing and points to the need for continued investment in research and development to optimize intervention strategies. The integration of digital technologies and a focus on self-regulation strategies are identified as promising avenues for future research and educational practice, reinforcing the call for innovative investments in food education and health promotion among the youth.
这项针对青少年学生开展的健康素养干预研究,旨在评估一项综合教育计划对促进健康饮食习惯的影响。该干预措施旨在增强青少年的营养知识,培养自我调节技能,并最终改善他们的整体健康状况,包括体重指数(BMI)。通过将理论学习与实践活动相结合的多组件方法,并整合诸如MyFitnessPal应用程序等数字工具,该研究旨在提高食品素养,其中包括营养知识、食品标签解读技能和烹饪能力。这些要素对于影响青少年的食物选择和饮食行为至关重要,重点是增加水果和蔬菜的摄入量,同时减少快餐和加工零食的摄入量。干预措施围绕一系列由营养领域经验丰富的专业人员主持的教育研讨会和互动环节展开。这些环节涵盖了食物成分、均衡饮食的重要性以及避免过量食用加工食品和高能量密度食品的策略等主题。该计划的一个显著特点是利用数字工具来增强参与度,并通过食物追踪和活动监测实现所学概念的实际应用。初步结果表明,参与者在食品知识增加和饮食习惯改善方面取得了积极成果。值得注意的是,青少年的BMI有了显著改善,突出了食品素养干预对改善身体健康状况的潜力。该研究强调了在旨在促进青少年健康饮食的教育计划中采用多学科和技术强化方法的重要性。该研究结果表明,针对青少年的特定需求量身定制的结构良好的食品教育计划,可以促进饮食行为的积极改变。这凸显了食品素养在青少年健康和福祉中的关键作用,并指出需要持续投资于研发以优化干预策略。数字技术的整合和对自我调节策略的关注被确定为未来研究和教育实践的有前景的途径,这进一步呼吁对青少年的食品教育和健康促进进行创新投资。
