One of the biggest epidemics facing the U.S. today is childhood obesity. This leads to a myriad of other diseases including heart disease, cancers and Type-2 diabetes. All of this leads to increased health care costs.

Key Nutrients + Fiber is dedicated to eradicating childhood obesity through education. We use a combination of entertaining and educational books, posters, videos and more.

About us

Key Nutrients + Fiber promotes healthy eating habits, making healthy food choices and living a healthy lifestyle. This means eating a well-balanced diet along with regular physical activity – the very foundation for good health.

Since education is the fundamental element of all good choices, Key Nutrients + Fiber’s series encourages children of all ages to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, and we do this by making nutrition fun to learn and follow.

Our professional Nutritionist helped us to create the keynutrients + fiber series, a series of books designed to make children eager to learn more about eating healthy, making good food choices and living a healthy life style.

A healthy diet means eating high quality complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, heart-healthy fats and taking correct vitamins and minerals while eliminating processed foods and saturated fats as much as possible from the diet.

Healthy eating promotes optimal body weight and assists in disease prevention. For example, protein rebuilds injured tissue and promotes a healthy immune system,

while both carbohydrates and fats fuel your body, vitamins, and minerals are essential for support of your body`s processes,

water helps lubricate and cushion joints, and oxygen is required to produce energy that is necessary for every bodily function and process.

A well balanced diet should include all the above for the optimum health, but figuring the correct amounts of each can be a daunting task to a new follower of a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. Key Nutrients Plus Fiber is here to provide a solid foundation for making these choices. Our series can help everyone – including the head of household responsible for buying family groceries – to beat childhood obesity.

A well-balanced diet should include all nutrients necessary for healthy living. But how to figure out how much fat, protein, carbohydrates, oxygen, water, vitamins, and minerals, you need daily.

Fortunately, there is the key nutrients+fiber series to provide us a foundation for making healthy food choices. Childhood obesity is sometimes associated with the head of household education and income levels for some children, lack of knowledge and poor eating habits for other children.

Our unhealthy food and sugary drink choices impact the health and well-being of the next generation of kids and adults.

All kids and adults should know how the key nutrient+fiber functions in the human body.

What is a nutrient?

A nutrient is a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism`s metabolism which must be taken in from its environment.

There are two types of nutrients micronutrients and macronutrients. Both types of nutrients can be acquired from the environment.

Micronutrients are used to build and repair tissues and regulate body processes while macronutrients are converted to be used for energy.

Organic nutrients consist of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins.

Organic chemical compounds such as dietary minerals, water, and oxygen are also important nutrients.
