The Smile Food System mobile app is free, so please encourage your students to download it and, more importantly, use it! With the app’s help, they can learn more about the foods they consume, with respect to the key nutrition components, and that knowledge will help them develop healthy eating habits that will nurture their growing bodies. Good food consumption enables the body to function, grow, and heal. More specifically, eating a balanced diet of natural and healthy foods is crucial for (1) managing hunger and developing smart eating habits; (2) preventing serious life-disrupting diseases including heart failure, obesity, diabetes, and depression; (3) having adequate energy and well-functioning major organs (e.g., brain, lungs, kidneys, etc. ) and muscles; (4) developing and restoring tissue, muscles, bones, cartilage, and skin; and nothing less than (5) creating and maintaining every cell in the body, including enzymes and other body chemicals, that power the body, aid digestion, maintain healthy hormone levels, and distribute oxygen throughout the body.
