Resources for dietary education
Dear Ms.
Sze,
I am a community dietitian from Hong Kong working at a local health center.
As I browse through the website, I find a wealth of useful information and resources from the Department of Health in Taiwan, particularly the dietary booklets and flyers for nutrition education.
I would like to know if there are free copies available that I can order through this channel.
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,

One such resource is the "Food and Nutrition Database" available at the Department of Health's website, which can provide you with comprehensive data on nutritional content and dietary recommendations.

In addition to these steps, it is important to recognize the value of nutrition education in promoting public health. Nutrition plays a critical role in preventing chronic diseases, managing health conditions, and improving overall well-being. By utilizing the resources available from the Department of Health and other organizations, you can enhance your practice and contribute significantly to the health of your community.
