Nursing Students Apply Healthy Nutrition Concepts in the “Healthy Plate Planning” Activity

Within the framework of Mansoura National University’s commitment to linking theoretical study with practical application and enhancing students’ awareness of the principles of a balanced healthy lifestyle, the Faculty of Nursing organized an applied activity entitled “Healthy Plate Planning.” The activity was held under the patronage of Professor Dr. Sherif Khater, President of the University; the leadership of Professor Dr. Raefa Refaat Allam, Dean of the Faculty; and the supervision of Dr. Al-Zahraa Motawea, Lecturer in Food Science and Nutrition and supervisor of the Applied Nutrition course.

During the activity, students prepared balanced meals using local, affordable, and healthy ingredients as a practical application of theoretical concepts related to healthy nutrition. Students demonstrated notable creativity and engagement in selecting ingredients and arranging the dishes to achieve the required nutritional balance, reflecting their awareness of the importance of healthy nutrition in enhancing quality of life and preventing disease.

This activity comes as part of the Faculty of Nursing’s plan to develop students’ practical skills and promote positive attitudes toward healthy lifestyles, contributing to the preparation of a generation of healthcare providers who possess sound nutritional awareness and behavior and are capable of transferring these concepts to the community through their daily professional practice.
