Healthy eating to prevent childhood obesity from school
Childhood obesity is one of the major public health challenges of our time. More and more children are becoming overweight due to unbalanced diets and sedentary lifestyles. In this context, school dining halls play a crucial role in promoting healthy eating habits from an early age.
THE ROLE OF SCHOOL MEALS IN NUTRITION EDUCATION
Schools are key environments for child nutrition education, as they offer the chance to teach children how to eat well, enjoy food and understand the value of a balanced diet. At Saned, we believe that the school dining hall not only feeds but also educates and instils healthy values.
KEYS TO A HEALTHY DIET IN CHILDHOOD
A balanced child diet should include fruit, vegetables, pulses, whole grains and quality proteins. These foods provide the nutrients needed for growth, learning and disease prevention.
Reducing added sugars, saturated fats and ultra-processed foods is essential to maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity.
HOW SANED PROMOTES HEALTHY HABITS
At Saned, as a school catering company in Catalonia, we work daily to promote healthy child nutrition in school canteens.

EDUCATING TO PREVENT
Preventing childhood obesity means more than controlling food intake — it’s about teaching good habits. Encouraging physical activity, family meals and dietary variety helps build a positive relationship with food.
