Prince Fit saves obese schoolchildren and increases nutrition by 20%

There is an increasing trend of fat children in China. Some schoolchildren eat chicken nuggets and French fries starting from breakfast, and even have a piece of fried chicken steak after school in the afternoon. The daily intake of fruits and vegetables is obviously insufficient, coupled with the lack of exercise, it is no wonder that the obesity problem is becoming more and more serious. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, one in four elementary and middle school students in urban areas is obese. In order to prevent and control obesity, Hsinchu County has promoted "nutrition education" in elementary schools with the support of corporate sponsorship. After two years of hard work, surprising results have been achieved. The level of nutrition knowledge among students has increased by 20%, successfully laying a good foundation for health!

Taiwan's obesity level among children aged 6 to 18 ranks 16th in the world, even surpassing Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore.

How serious is the problem of childhood obesity in Taiwan? According to data from the United Nations Obesity Monitoring Group, Taiwan's obesity levels among children aged 6 to 18 are ranked 16th in the world, even surpassing Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore. The fundamental solution must start with nutrition education. In view of this, Hsinchu County and Amway Nutrilite have been jointly promoting children's nutrition education two years ago and have taken root in schools.

There are 86 elementary schools in Hsinchu County, with a total of more than 20,000 children. In the past two years, all of them have received this complete set of children's nutrition education.

Hsinchu County Magistrate Chiu Ching-chun arrived at Hsinfeng Elementary School in Hsinchu County and actually participated in a nutrition education challenge activity for the schoolchildren.

Nutritional knowledge level of 20,000 children in Hsinchu County increased by 20%

Hsinchu County Magistrate Chiu Ching-chun said that there are 86 elementary schools in Hsinchu County, with a total of more than 20,000 children. In the past two years, all of them have received this complete set of children's nutrition education, and 19 nutritionists in the county have used this teaching material to teach classes, allowing elementary school students from grades 3 to 6 in the county to learn healthy nutrition knowledge and correct intake concepts through games.

Tests conducted before and after the study found that the students' nutritional knowledge level increased by 20%. For example, a third-grade elementary school student originally scored only 59 points, but after the study, his score jumped to 73 points. This is gratifying and shows that nutrition education has taken root and achieved good results.

Amway hopes to continue to implement this "nutrition education" course in various counties and cities in the future.

Prince Fit's teaching soft stick enhances learning interest

In order to verify the results of the students' participation in nutrition education, Hsinchu County Magistrate Chiu Ching-chun arrived at Hsinfeng Elementary School in Hsinchu County to actually participate in the students' nutrition education challenge activity. Through the lively and interesting interactive teaching software and teaching aids of the transformation of "Prince Fit" (Fit means Fat, the transliteration of fat), the children's interest in learning was enhanced, and the children were taught how to make friends with food and cultivate correct eating habits in life.

In a booklet titled "Prince Fit's Transformation" jointly printed by the Hsinchu County Government and Amway Nutrilite, the protagonist Prince Fit is led by the participating schoolchildren to take on six major challenges of a balanced diet. They also learn about the sources and content of calcium in food, and even learn that they need to eat 5 to 6 fistfuls of vegetables and fruits every day to help them grow healthily. They should pay special attention to hidden traps in the diet, including fried foods and sweets, and not consume them in excess.

Promote nutrition education courses to reduce obesity rates among children

In order to promote children's nutrition education, Amway, which has been engaged in nutrition education for many years, has passed on its accumulated experience. Amway General Manager Chen Huiwen said that since 1999, it has jointly established a professional nutrition credit certification course with Taipei Medical University. Classes are held regularly every year and are taught by university professors in person to promote correct concepts and knowledge about nutrition and diet. About 400 people participate each year, and more than 7,000 people have obtained professional nutrition credit certification so far. Through them, these nutrition concepts and knowledge are conveyed to more people.

We hope that through the continuation of this "nutrition education" course, we can reduce the obesity rate among children and allow the next generation to have a head start in health. In the future, Amway Nutrilite is also willing to assist schools in various counties and cities to introduce this nutrition curriculum to help educate the next generation to be healthy and active.
