Pupils' knowledge from a private high school from Chisinau concerning the healthy eating

Abstract

Because eating habits developed in youth are likely to be continued into adulthood, World Health Organization (WHO) calls states for early and continuous intervention, and one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve the health and wellbeing starts with breakfast. WHO reports show that the prevalence of obesity and higher body mass index (BMI) is generally lower among young people who take breakfast. These young people showed signs of improvement of cognitive function and academic performances. The aim of this research was to study pupil’s knowledge concerning the healthy eating.
