Before parenthood
The foundation for lifelong health starts early, something that is established even before one is conceived. Diet for young adults before they become parents is a relatively new field of research, and is proving to be important for the health of future children. This field needs further knowledge both in terms of the importance of diet and what kind of diet is important for their future children, and how to promote a good diet during this period. The research center has several projects within this theme.
Over the past 40 years, research has revealed that the foundation for health throughout the lifespan is largely established from conception to two years of age. Nutrition is a particularly important factor.
Skills for Life is an educational project targeting students and young adults.
