But parents and schools have their priorities; making sure our kids eat right because research shows a clear connection between nutrition and student performance in school.

What you eat matters. It influences the quality of your life.

I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.

If you just stay away from junk, and stick with what your mom taught you, you're eating pretty healthy.

I cannot stress a greater importance than to teach the young generation about the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits.

Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.

Poor eating habits developed at an early age lead to a lifetime of real health consequences.

I always thought eating what you wanted was one of those aspects of adulthood to be looked forward to when you were a child.

And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.
