Ternopil Medical University Students Taught Schoolchildren About Proper Nutrition

On November 6, 2024, second-year medical students Andrii Vynychenko, Diana Mudriievska, and Denys Dolhopolov visited Medical Lyceum No. 15 in Ternopil to deliver a lecture on “Rational Nutrition: The Secret to a Healthy Life” for the schoolchildren.

Future doctors explained the importance of a proper diet approach, emphasizing that it is the foundation for maintaining the body in good condition. The schoolchildren were encouraged to rethink their attitude toward their diet and made conclusions about the need to make changes to their eating habits.

To aid understanding, the students provided a list of foods to exclude from the diet and suggested alternatives. They also discussed everyday harmful eating habits, such as overeating/undereating, irregular eating patterns, and more.

At the end of the meeting, the university students conducted a workshop for the schoolchildren on creating a daily meal plan. These skills and knowledge will serve as a basis for the students to maintain their health in the future.
