growth and development
Inadequate nutritional intake



delay body growth/ development
adversely affect mental development and learning
abilities
Excessive nutritional intake



Principles of Healthy Eating


Adopt “3 Low 1 High” Healthy Eating
Principles
Choose food low in fat, sodium and
sugars as well as high in dietary fibre
4
Growth and Development


Children and adolescents at stage of puberty
Rapid growing

Important stage of muscle, bone and teeth development
 Bone development occurs during childhood and
adolescence
 The higher the density of the bones formed, the lower
is the risk of developing osteoporosis

Balanced diet


E.g. choose food rich in calcium
Get enough energy and protein
5
Childhood Obesity


Obesity has become more and more common in both
developed and developing countries
Affecting children/adolescent. The prevalence is on
the rise
Consequences/Impact of childhood obesity:



More likely to stay obese into adulthood
Increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as
diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases at a
younger age
May have lower self-esteem and poorer body image

(including obesity)
Weight > median

Causes of overweight/obesity
in children/ adolescents

Imbalance between energy consumed and
energy expended



Sedentary lifestyle



eating too much food
frequent intake of sugary and fatty foods as well
as fast food
lack of exercise
watching TV and playing computer games as main
activities
Others: diseases, medication, hereditary
12
Energy and Body Weight

Major sources of energy：
 1 g of fat = 9 kilocalories
 1 g of protein = 4 kilocalories
 1 g of carbohydrates = 4 kilocalories
 *1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1 Calorie ≈ 4.2 kilojoules (kJ)

Unused energy will be stored as fat in the body
13
Weight reduction/
Weight maintenance

1.
Weight reduction/ weight maintenance
Adopt balanced diet. Follow the portion in
Food Pyramid

2.
3.
Cut down on foods that are high in energy, fat
and/or sugars
Increase the activity levels (e.g. sports)
Make use of nutrition labels to make healthy
food choices

Choose food lower in energy, total fat and sugars
14
Read and Use Nutrition Labels
Examples of Recommended
Format of Nutrition Label
Tabular format
1
7
16
Examples of Recommended
Format of Nutrition Label
Linear format
(for small packages with total surface area of less than 200 cm2)
17
Required Nutrients on Nutrition Labels

1+7 (energy plus seven nutrients specified
for labelling) –
i.e. energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat,
trans fat, carbohydrates, sugars and
sodium.

Nutrient(s) involved in nutrition claim(s)
(when the nutrition claim is on any type of fat,
the amount of cholesterol must be declared as
well).

For other nutrients, declaration is voluntary
18
Making Use of Nutrition Label
Consumers can:

Compare the nutritional content among
different foods for a healthier choice, e.g.
choose food that is lower in fat, sodium (or
salt) and sugars.

Understand the nutritional content of food
and estimate their contribution to the overall
diet.

To meet individual’s dietary needs.
19
Three Simple Steps to Read
Nutrition Label
Three Simple Steps to Read
Nutrition Label
Step 1
 Take note of the reference amount of food
being used in the nutrition label
Step 2
 Read the energy and nutrient content together
with the reference amount
Step 3
 Refer to the percentage Nutrient Reference
Value (%NRV), if available, to see if the food
contains a lot or a little of energy or a nutrient in
the food
21
Step 1:
Take note of the reference amount of food
being used in the nutrition label

Expressed as
per 100 g (or
per 100 mL)
of food
22
Step 1:
Take note of the reference amount of food
being used in the nutrition label

Expressed as per serving (the serving size (in g or
mL) and the no. of servings must be specified on
the package)
23
Step 1:
Take note of the reference amount of food
being used in the nutrition label

Expressed as per package (if the package
contains only a single serving )
24
Step 2:
Read the energy and nutrient content
together with the reference amount
A)
Use nutrition label to compare
between products
B)
Use nutrition label to calculate the
amount of energy and nutrients you
get from food
25
Step 2A:
Use nutrition label to
compare between products

Products with nutritional content expresssed in
the SAME reference amount
(Partial) Nutrition label of Brand A biscuit
(Partial) Nutrition label of Brand C biscuit
If reference amount is the SAME, you CAN COMPARE
between the products DIRECTLY
26
Step 2A:
Use nutrition label to
compare between products

Products with nutritional content expresssed in
DIFFERENT reference amounts
(Partial) Nutrition label of Brand A biscuit
(Partial) Nutrition label of Brand D biscuit
If reference amounts are DIFFERENT, you CANNOT
COMPARE between the products DIRECTLY
27
Step 2A:
Use nutrition label to
compare between products

Products with nutritional content expresssed in
DIFFERENT reference amounts
28
Step 2B:
Use nutrition label to calculate the amount of
energy and nutrients you get from food

The more you eat, the more you get

If you eat 1 serving of biscuit


Get 8 g of fat, 3.5 g of saturated fat
If you eat 2 servings of biscuit

Get 16 g of fat, 7 g of saturated fat
29
Step 2B:
Use nutrition label to calculate the amount of
energy and nutrients you get from food

Energy and nutrient content expressed as per 100 g/mL
30
Step 3: Refer to the percentage Nutrient Reference
Value (%NRV), if available, to see if the food contains a
lot or a little of energy or a nutrient in the food

%NRV is usually on a scale from 0% to 100%.
31
Step 3: Refer to the percentage Nutrient Reference
Value (%NRV), if available, to see if the food contains
a lot or a little of energy or a nutrient in the food


For nutrients that needed to limit their intake

E.g. total fat, saturated fat, sodium and sugars

Look for foods that have lower %NRV
Get enough of nutrients that are good for health

E.g. dietary fibre

Look for foods that have higher %NRV
32
Use Nutrition Label to
Choose Prepackaged Food for
Children/Adolescents
Nutrition Labelling is a Useful Tool
for Practising Healthy Eating

Nutrition label and nutrition claim can
help children/adolescents choose suitable
prepackaged food in accordance with
healthy eating principles and their own
physical conditions, e.g.


Choose food higher in calcium
For weight control, choose food lower in
energy, total fat and sugars
34
How to Choose Prepackaged
Food for Children/Adolescents
1.
Use nutrition claim as a quick screening
tool; and
2.
Take three simple steps to read nutrition
label
35
How to Choose Prepackaged
Food for Children/Adolescents
The words below are considered as synonyms for nutrition
claims, they may help you choose food with higher calcium:
Claim
Meaning of Claim
High; Good source; High source;
Rich in; Plenty of
A very significant amount of a
particular nutrient found in the
food
Source; Contains; With; Provides;
Has
A significant amount of a
particular nutrient found in the
food
36
How to Choose Prepackaged
Food for Children/Adolescents

Claim
Meaning of Claim
Free; No; Zero; Without; Does not contain
Insignificant amount of

Healthy Snacks

Healthy Snacks
 replenish the water and energy lost during daily
activities
 Make up for those food groups and nutrients absent
in main meals

Tips for eating snacks
-
-
-
Snack between main meals. At least having 1.5 - 2 hours
between two intakes.
Snacks should be small in amount so as to avoid spoiling the
appetite for the next main meal
Choose more fresh and natural food
For prepackaged food, choose those “3 Low” products – Lower
in fat, sodium (salt) and sugars
