On the contrary， people are confronted with chronic diseases that are caused by overweight and could cause too many physical burdens or even death， due to their tendencies to sedentary activ-ities and insufficient exercise. Therefore， people should have the right concepts of diets and obtain nourishment their bodies need， in order for them to develop more healthily. These concepts should be framed in childhood， where school education plays an im-portant role. This research focuses on how to help students learn these concepts better. This study aimed to investigate the effect of integrating multimedia into teaching balanced diet on students’ learning outcome and learning motivation. Students from four seventh-grade classes of a municipal junior high school participated in this investigation and were divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received multimedia-integrated teaching of balanced diet， while the control group received the traditional teaching approach. All the participants received pre- and post-experiment tests， and the collected data were further analyzed through descriptive statis-tics and Independent Samples T-test to see whether the multimedia-integrated approach can enhance students’ learning of balanced diets. The results showed that the experimental group scored higher than the control group in the post-test of nutrition knowledge. The students’ learning outcomes differed signifi-cantly due to different teaching approach. In addition， the experimental group dis-played significantly stronger learning motivation then the control group. The results indicated that multimedia-integrated teaching do help students learn better about balanced diet and enhance their learning motivation. Based on the findings， the researcher suggested that teachers can take multimedia- integrated approach to teach students balanced diets.
