12 Month Package Child Nutrition Care

Description

A balanced diet can help students increase energy levels, promote a functioning immune system, improve their ability
to cope with stress, and increase concentration and performance in school. Healthy eating is influenced by a variety of factors.
People who eat a healthy and well-balanced diet have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. A diet high in harmful fats and sweets can wreak havoc on brain development, learning, and memory.
Several studies show that nutritional status can directly affect mental capacity among school-aged children.
For example, iron deficiency, even in early stages, can decrease dopamine transmission, thus negatively impacting cognition.
Deficiencies in other vitamins and minerals, specifically thiamine, vitamin E, vitamin B, iodine, and zinc, are shown to inhibit cognitive abilities and mental concentration.
Additionally, amino acid and carbohydrate supplementation can improve perception, intuition, and reasoning.
There are also a number of studies showing that improvements in nutrient intake can influence the cognitive ability and intelligence levels of school-aged children.
