Eating a healthy diet coupled with an active lifestyle are the components to good long-term health. But the reality is that not all persons are able to eat a healthy balanced diet, which puts them at risk of developing non-communicable diseases.
Many children also fall into this category, and with this in mind the ministry of Health and Wellness is collaborating with the Ministry of Education and Youth on a national nutrition policy for schools.
The goal of the policy is to ensure that children have access to healthy meals while at school among other things.
