Abstract
Nutrition has an essential impact on life culture. As a result, the most effective way for societies to be healthy and productive is to provide healthy nutrition practices for children at home and in educational settings. One of the topics stressed in the combat against COVID-19 is the use of healthy foods and beverages that improve the immune system in all age groups, including youngsters, because nutrition helps to improve their immune systems, which are not as strong as the adults. Due to restrictions placed on the spread of the pandemic, as well as the inability of school-aged children to benefit from nutrition programs due to the closure of educational institutions, children's food choices have weakened. Children's nutrition should be made healthy not just in educational surroundings but also in the communities where they reside, for example through street children's soup kitchens, to repair the unhealthy pandemic process. However, one of the most difficult subjects for dietitians is improving the diversity of food consumption among the new generation.
