Abstract
This research paper examines the integration of nutrition education into physical education (PE) curriculum as a means to promote healthy lifestyles among school-aged children. Despite the recognized importance of both physical activity and nutrition in maintaining overall health, there has been a historical separation between these two components in educational settings. However, recent research suggests that combining nutrition education with PE can lead to more comprehensive health outcomes. This paper reviews the existing literature on the benefits, challenges, and best practices of integrating nutrition education into PE curriculum. It also explores potential strategies for effective implementation and offers recommendations for educators and policymakers.
Key words: Nutrition Education, Physical Education, Curriculum Integration, Healthy Lifestyles, School-Aged Children.
