Believe it or not, just as it affects children physically, their nutrition has a strong correlation to their behavior, growth, and performance in school and other activities. Let’s face it: childhood is a vital phase of life. Kids develop both physically and mentally at a super high rate. And malnutrition can have a significant negative impact on a child’s current and future health. Not to mention, it plays a considerable role in academic performance (Graham 2016).
Nutritional deficiencies in school-aged children can be detrimental to their cognitive development and result in long-term health problems (Healthwise Staff 2020). While diets that are particularly high in trans and saturated fats can lead to obesity and other issues, including Type 2 Diabetes, they can also indirectly affect a child’s ability to learn and remember information. Kids who eat poorly are also more prone to osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and breathing problems in later life.
Kids with access to the proper nutrition—sufficient portions of protein, carbohydrates, and fat—have improvements concerning cognition, concentration, and energy levels. And, to top it off, when children have access to healthy foods—especially breakfast—they are more likely to have better psychological well-being and fewer behavioral problems (Wilder Research 2014). Say goodbye to temper tantrums over making their beds! (Okay, maybe “see you less often” would be more fitting.)
