School Based Dietetic Program
| As weight problem is always a concern for most parents, School Based Dietetic Program is designed to cater students with weight management, eating problems, picky eating, malnutrition, and nutrition related to learning ability, eye function and growth. This program allows parents to have better understanding on their children’s health status by providing individual nutrition consultation, prescribing tailor-made diet plans for student and resolving any nutrition and/or health concerns. |  |
| According to the raising children obesity rate, our Healthy Living Department provide the body composition assessment test for schools who interested to know the health status of their students. This program includes measuring height and body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, measurement of cardio-pulmonary function, flexibility, muscle strength, etc. According to the health assessment test, we will provide an overall assessment report to school and suggestions for follow-up school based dietetic program. As an urgent need for the community, we already served over 50 schools including kindergartens, primary, and secondary schools. |

| Healthy Living Department has been continuously preventing and solving the problem of children obesity. According to Hong Kong Department of Health, the trend of children obesity is increasing. For instance, there will be 1 obese child in every 4 kids in the year of 2013. Overweight or obese children have an increased risk of having chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in young adult ages. We, as a team, are able to enhance children’s positive learning ability as well as their self-confidence through excited and interesting exercise and games as well as workshops about healthy living. By taken this plan, children will have a healthy and happy life in the near future. | |
In recent years, communities have a serious concern about health messages. As a professional team in Healthy Living Department, our dietitian/community nutritionist often goes to schools and community centers to provide health talk to parents, teachers and students in order to promote healthy living style. Various health-related topics include weight management, food for better brain development, healthy snack choices, healthy school lunch, enhance immune system by food and children physical fitness, and so on. Through these seminars, we would like to raise the health awareness in the community in order for parents, teachers and children to have proper nutritious diet and exercise ideas. |

Through games, sports, snacks making, role-play, physical fitness movement, the participants can learn how to live a healthy life in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. |
