As good nutrition is an important factor in the prevention and treatment of disease, TU Nutrition Club is here to supplement nutrition education of students and the greater Vallejo community as well as making efforts to provide nutritious options to people on and off campus.

There is a positive, significant association between personal health habits of health practitioners and their propensity to counsel patients about those health behaviors. Though it is commonly accepted that certain unhealthy lifestyle choices are detrimental to patient health, health practitioners who do not practice healthy lifestyle behaviors tend to underestimate the damage of those lifestyles and their ability to council patients to change behavior.(References: PubMed IDs 23420327, 10776365, 1983933, 14762049)

 Training health care practitioners to utilize healthy lifestyle behaviors can lead to healthier practitioners with an increased ability to train patients to do the same.  Implementing programs that educate health practitioners about positive health behaviors and encourages patient counseling can make a significant impact in preventative care practices.  (References: PubMed IDs 23420327, 14762049)
