This review looked at different ways to teach children and teenagers about food. The researchers looked at three specific types of programs. These included a simulation for adolescents, an online family cooking program with text message support, and a mobile health program focused on reducing food waste and eating more plant-based proteins.
The findings are currently considered preliminary. Because the studies included were small and lacked a control group, the results do not yet prove that these programs are more effective than other methods. The review suggests that these digital tools are promising ways to engage families in learning about nutrition and sustainability.
Because the evidence is still early and limited, these programs should be seen as educational tools rather than proven medical treatments. More research is needed to see how well these programs work over time. You should talk with a healthcare provider or a nutritionist to discuss the best ways to improve your child's nutrition.
