YSCooks Collaborate With Nutrition Experts To Educate, Engage & Reward Kids For Making Healthier Dining Choices

NEW YORK - EntSun -- YSCooks, a platform focused on educating, engaging, and rewarding students for making healthier dining choices is creating opportunities for parents to engage their students in meaningful ways during this lockdown.

As the country gradually reopens, many parents still have to figure out how to creatively engage their kids over the summer. YSCooks in partnership with nutrition experts (dietitians/food scientists) is educating students on the importance of food to overall well-being. Students learn in a fun interactive way the health benefits of different food types. They also learn how to create nourishing and tasty meals they and their families can enjoy.

The platform which has a social media element to it, create opportunities for peer support while students learn and share their food pictures or video with their peers. Through its 14-day challenge cycle, YScooks engages students and rewards them for making efforts to improve how they eat. YScooks has partnered with different libraries to reach students in their communities and continues to expand their reach.

According to Brenda Burgess PhD, a food scientist and one of the educators on YScooks "Choosing foods that are more nourishing than others can be challenging on multiple fronts, as many are rarely educated in healthy eating and surrounded by friends and family making poor dietary decisions. Promoting nutritional literacy at a young age not only helps combat this, but it also serves as a contagious antidote to all exposed. Simply put, when children understand why they're victorious when consuming vegetables, they'll motivate their peers to do the same - and that sort of pressure is never a bad thing."

"I've never seen my kids so engaged! They love being part of the YSCooks," said Norma Brown whose kids are part of the YSCooks Pilot. "Immediately after breakfast, they start looking for a nutritious meal for lunch. They really enjoy posting pictures and sharing their thoughts on what others are sharing. I'm sure the prospect of winning a prize helped motivate them as well," she added
