WELCOME TO coolfoodplanet
A NUTRITION AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PORTAL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE!
We
all know that good information is one of the major building blocks
of good nutrition, good health and good health and lifestyle habits.
This is probably truer for children and adolescents than any other
population segment. Accessible and relevant information is key to
not only building awareness but also for enabling young people to
take responsibility for their health and to develop good lifetime
nutritional habits. Education of our young people is a major priority
and responsibility for EUFIC.
We
built the website Coolfoodplanet oriented towards children and adolescents
and complementary to our main site. We have developed scientifically
validated information on nutrition in English, French, German, Spanish
and Italian.
In
order to make it more accessible and relevant to young people ,
we have and are continuously evaluating children's and adolescent
behavior as web users and their perceptions about nutrition, continuing
on from our commissioned study Childrens Views on Food and Nutrition:
A Pan European Survey . The objective is to attract children and
adolescents directly to the site and use of the site by school programs.
We
work in partnership with healthcare and nutrition professionals
for quality content provision. We establish contacts with school
administrations for dissemination of our materials and to build
up interactive relationships with them .
Our
objective is to provide scientifically validated, useful and constantly
updated information on nutrition and healthy lifestyle. We provide
science-based and credible information on foods, food related and
fitness topics to young people in a form that is understandable
and relevant - to inform, to educate and to build the basis for
healthy lifestyle and nutritional habits for life.
