Collaborating with six other international researchers from Nigeria, four esteemed faculty members from Southern Leyte State University (SLSU)—namely Dr. Francis Ann R. Sy, Dr. Prose Ivy G. Yepes, Mr. Jerico B. Ogaya, and Dr. Don Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III—published a book chapter in a Scopus-indexed journal in 2023.
Their publication, “Why Nutrition Programs for Children Remain Important,” highlights the importance of healthy dietary practices for optimal physical growth and enhanced cognitive development in children. It echoes the goal of public health leaders to initiate this practice at an early age to ensure overall well-being as individuals mature. Ensuring access to adequate nutrition for children remains relevant, as delving into a notable initiative on school meal programs and advancements in nutrition programs was imperative for underpinning good health and well-being.
By reinforcing the fundamental importance of public health, the publication affirms the critical role of quality nutrition in this changing modern world, projecting it to shape vitality in children first, making its appropriateness with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).
