AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about healthy eating habits based on scientific evidence.
Professor Natsuko Mito's lab studied, based on scientific evidence, what children should learn about nutrition in home economics classes.
Using the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese as a guide, the lab aimed to present a class program that builds an understanding of meals that meet appropriate energy and nutrient intakes, from the perspectives of maintaining health, promoting growth, and preventing lifestyle-related diseases.
Professor Mito belongs to the home economics specialization of the Faculty of Education and teaches courses on food and nutrition science and food science experiments.

Professor Mito's lab sees school home economics as an important place for children to acquire basic knowledge of nutrition. Using the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese and the relationships between diet and both sleep and season as guides, the lab examined what home economics should teach about food and health.
Comparing the Dietary Reference Intakes in textbooks
The lab compared how junior high school and high school home economics textbooks present the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese. By analyzing the age categories, indicators, and types of nutrients included, it aimed to propose a learning program on nutrition.
Sleep, seasons, eating habits, and learning about salt reduction
The lab investigated how eating habits, sleep habits, and body composition change with the seasons among university students who belong to sports clubs. It also examined dietary factors related to salt intake among university students, and used the results to consider what home economics should teach about salt.
