Wraparound Nutrition: Part 1 - Building healthy bodies and engaged brains

This workshop is led by experienced nutritional trainer and registered nutritional therapist Catherine Jeans DipION mBANT CNHC, who delivers practical advice on how to take nutritional guidance and put it into practice. 

The workshop, with a Q&A session included, will teach professionals the key nutrition foundations for providing balanced and healthy breakfasts and after-school snacks.  It will provide settings with the knowledge to help close the nutrition gaps, taking nutrition far beyond energy requirements, with a focus on vital nutrients to help every child achieve their best. 

We now know that over 60% of the UK's diet comes from Ultra Processed Foods, which are low in nutrition and high in empty calories that have significant health risks.  By understanding key nutrient gaps and the foods to provide, this workshop gives professionals the knowledge to make a difference to the future health of our next generations. 

At least 30% of a child's daily nutritional needs should be eaten at breakfast, which means that refined cereals and toast with chocolate spread are just not enough to feed the nation's health.

Following completion of this course, delegates are able to acces Part 2, see the next course below.
