Student overweight and obesity now affects more than 30 percent of the population, making it the most common chronic disease of childhood. Adolescent obesity is not just an overweight problem; it is a real problem that can be associated with significant health issues in childhood that increase through adulthood. Obesity remains highest among Hispanic and African-American children, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Good eating habits will help students not only to improve their nutritional well-being, but also to prevent nutrition-related diseases.

In recent years, the scope of public health practice has continued to expand given the call to action to promote sustainable health and nutrition. Therefore, eating practices and the nutritive value of consumed foods are becoming increasingly important areas of research for nutritional counseling professionals across the globe. Adequate and proper nutrition is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is essential to promote an awareness of the nutrients contained in foods in relation to their roles in body maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease prevention in humans. Appropriate nutrition is important for a variety of reasons, including optimal cardiovascular function, muscle strength, respiratory ventilation, protection from infection, wound healing, and psychological well-being. Additionally, it helps to prevent nutrition-related diseases through a diet containing the right amount of food constituents, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water, required for body building and defense, energy supply, and regulatory functions.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that nutrition-related diseases account for about 60% of all deaths, and 43% of the global burden of disease, and that by 2020, the impact of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases is expected to rise to 73% of all deaths and 60% of the global burden of disease. According to the WHO, the conditions that promote unhealthy eating practices among individuals include a lack of adequate health and nutritional knowledge, and the acquisition of misinformation about health and nutrition matters. In addition, when foods are not consumed in quantities commensurate with individuals’ body needs, malnutrition or over-nutrition may set in. Thus, given the roles played by nutrients in promoting health and optimal functioning in humans, counseling and education about diet and nutrition need to be made a priority by all relevant professionals, including nutritional counselors, home economists, and dietitians. Nutritional counseling and education involve people gaining knowledge about nutrition and being encouraged to bring about required changes in their food habits.

The goal of nutritional counseling and education is to motivate individuals to eat healthy and sustainable diets. The aim is to teach individuals about the importance of adequate and proper nutrition, provide educational materials that reinforce messages about healthy eating skills, promote teaching skills essential for making dietary change, and provide information on how to sustain eating behavior change. Nutritional counseling and education focus on practical aspects of nutritional knowledge, and play an important role in raising public awareness and ultimately in the health of society. The main goal involves developing a nutrition plan for obtaining the appropriate and necessary nutrition to remain healthy, be physically prepared, and lead a healthy life. Thus, to promote healthy living among individuals, it might be necessary for nutritional counselors to promote good eating habits by increasing people's awareness of the nutritive value of foods and proper dietary practices.
