The diet of the student should be adequate to the energy consumption of the child. Modern school programs are very rich and require considerable effort and a lot of time not only at school, but also at home. A sea of information (more often, unfortunately, unnecessary), falling on the heads of children literally from everywhere, creates a great burden on the nervous system. Our children are atomic, their physical and sexual development is much faster. Add to this the incredible mental stress associated with social adaptation, and pissed off hormones - and you get a rather sad picture. How to maintain the health of the child, help him cope with all the stress? 

Remember the old saying, “You are what you eat”? Strange as it may sound, nutrition plays a very important role in the life of any person, and even more so in the life of a child. Proper nutrition of the student is the key to his health, academic performance and normal development. According to nutritionists, a child studying at school should eat at least 4 times a day, and breakfasts, lunches and dinners must include hot meals. Schoolchildren spend half a day outside the home, and some even all day, remaining in an extension. Our task is to feed the cub with the right breakfast and dinner and give it not only a tasty, but also a healthy “brake”. When compiling a diet for a schoolchild, remember the balance of important nutrients and vitamins. But first, let's remember what these substances are for and where they are located.

Vitamin A - ensures the normal condition of the mucous membranes and skin, improves the body's resistance, is responsible for the normal state of vision. Vitamin A is found in fish and seafood, liver, apricots, carrots.

Vitamin B1 - improves digestion, strengthens the nervous system and memory. This vitamin is found in vegetables, rice, poultry meat.
