Nutrition education stresses the relationship between proper nutrition and good health.
Special emphasis is placed on the nutritional needs of the client. The nutrition information assists the client in achieving a positive change in food habits to result in improved nutritional status. Use of supplemental foods and other nutritious foods enables the client to prevent nutrition-related problems. Each CSFP clinic will provide appropriate nutrition information to all participants using at least two nutrition contacts within a six month certification period, annually for elderly clients. The nutrition education contacts come in the form of a wide variety of nutrition education materials .
