Nutrition in childhood should not be overlooked.
Parents are primarily responsible for ensuring that their kids get the vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients they need each day. Parents shouldn’t ignore the importance of nutrition in childhood.
Children may be at risk for nutrient deficiencies if they eat processed foods like chips, cookies, soft drinks, and junk food as part of their diet. In order to encourage their child to eat more healthful foods, parents must prepare and provide healthy food options for their children as well as set an example of excellent eating habits.
A child’s food directly influences their capacity to learn, focus, and concentrate; children with dietary deficiencies are particularly susceptible to changes in metabolism that significantly effect cognitive aptitude and function of the brain.
Parents truly want their kids to do well in school in both academics and athletics. They make an effort to support their kids by assisting them with their homework, paying for their after-school activities, and creating a safe, caring environment at home.
Mothers should give particular attention to their children’s nutrition, especially at school.
After speaking with a number of parents and educators, I’ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t enough emphasis being placed on this issue because most kids’ lunches tend to be low in nutrients. For this reason, I believe that education in this area may aid mothers in enhancing the general wellbeing of their kids.
Today’s young children have extremely busy schedules that include back-to-back classes and extracurricular activities. It is the ideal time for a healthy snack to restore children’s mental and physical energy so they can perform at their best for the remainder of the day because mid-morning school breaks are scheduled between 10 and 11 am.
Nutritious school snack examples include: sandwiches with a healthy protein source (chicken, hunter beef or eggs), fruit and milk.
Milk is provided to schoolchildren in their breaks by the government or through school programmes in industrialised nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, China, the European Union, and Turkey.
Milk is a simple, comprehensive food option that helps kids meet their daily nutritional needs because it is full of different nutrients.
Calcium and Vitamin D
Milk is rich in protein, calcium and vitamin D
Calcium and vitamin D are essential in helping children maintain strong bones and teeth , and one of the best sources of calcium and vitamin D are dairy products.
