The composition of each of the children’s breakfasts that were brought from home was recorded both before and after the intervention program. Every food item received a score according to its nutritional quality, and each meal was summed accordingly. T-tests were performed in order to determine the significance of differences between the nutritional quality of the children’s breakfast items before and after the intervention. It was found that the nutritional quality of all breakfast components and its overall health quality improved significantly in both age groups. The study’s results indicate that the intervention program is effective for a range of young ages. It is recommended to conduct such programs starting in preschools, and subsequently in schools.  \nKeywords: nutrition educational program, health education, meal components  \nIntroduction  \nCorrect and balanced nutrition is one of the main factors necessary for healthy growth and development in children, from both physiological and psychological perspectives. Fostering healthy dietary habits in children has been found to be effective in preventing nutritional and developmental problems, as well as in preventing acute and chronic diseases (Sharma, Chuang, & Hedberg, 2011; Nicklas & Hayes, 2008). One of the main health problems facing parents and pediatricians in many countries is an increase in the average weight of children and young adults. In the last 30 years the percentage of American children suffering from overweight has tripled (Schmitt et al., 2019) and recent statistics show that one in five American children aged 6-19 suffers from obesity, while one in three are overweight or obese (Sildén, 2018; Durbin, Baguioro, & Jones, 2018) . According to the World Health Organization, the obesity epidemic in children is exists in Western as well as in Eastern (Qian et al., 2017) and Middle Eastern countries (Albataineh & Badran, 2019) including Israel (Eilat-Adar et al., 2011). In Israel, a three-fold difference in prevalence of overweight was reported in second and fifth graders between 1990 and 2000 (Eilat-Adar et al., 2011) and higher rates of overweight in the youngsters may reflect the occurrence of an obesity epidemic in Israel.  \nThe dramatic increase in overweight and obesity in children in recent decades is attributed, among other factors, to increasing exposure of children to foods that  \n*  \nLecturer and Researcher, Hemdat College of Education, Israel.±Lecturer and Researcher, Hemdat College of Education, Israel.  \ncause weight gain, combined with a decrease in their physical activity (Kranjac & Wagmiller, 2020). There is a significant increase in the consumption of foods rich in sugar and saturated fats and sweet drinks, expressed both at home, school and social gatherings, together with a correspondingly marked decrease in the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.  \nThe negative nutritional change that has occurred within the population during recent decades in many countries has led to increasing illness among children. These illnesses include chronic diseases related to obesity, such as type II diabetes, kidney disease and high blood pressure (Fung, 2016) . Obesity in children is also manifested in as psychological problems such as negative body image and low self-esteem have also appeared (Durbin, Baguioro, & Jones, 2018), as well as mental health problems such as depression. Overweight children often suffer from teasing and bullying by their peers and from social isolation (Sildén, 2018; Durbin, Baguioro, & Jones, 2018). In China (Qian et al., 2017; Hu, Li, Huang, & Li, 2010), the increase in the standar","cbCaitQhlDViKnkv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitQhlDViKnkv","pdf",132039,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and intervention design\n## Measurement and statistical evaluation\n## Findings and recommendations","[{\"question\":\"What does the study evaluate about children’s breakfasts?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates how two nutrition educational intervention programs affect the nutritional composition of home-prepared children’s breakfasts before and after the interventions.\"},{\"question\":\"How is nutritional quality measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Each breakfast food item is scored based on nutritional quality, then meal totals are calculated, and differences before versus after the program are tested using t-tests.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main results and recommendations?\",\"answer\":\"Nutritional quality of breakfast components and overall health quality improve significantly in both age groups.
