Kids and teenagers are back to school and nutrition is an essential part of their energy, performance, and wellbeing. Believe it or not, good nutrition can affect the way they learn and tackle certain intellectual challenges, the reason why their daily meals are so important.
Healthy meals and snacks can make or break their routines and today we will tell you more about how this works.
Eat your veggies
Studies show that a high vegetable intake can improve brain function and nourish your body with antioxidants and fiber. Carrots, peppers, and broccoli are rich in carotenoids, related to cognitive performance.
Chocolate can give your brain a boost
We’re not making this up! Chocolate, specifically the cocoa in it, is rich in flavonoids, phytochemicals that aid in reducing inflammation, fight free radicals, and enhance brain blood flow. Also, cocoa is linked to reduction in mental fatigue and better memory retention. So, trying to include cocoa-based products in your diet can help you during exam season.
Nuts and seeds
Students tend to snack a lot during study sessions. Nuts and seeds are the healthiest options to pick in that case. Nuts contain healthy fats like Omega-3, protein, vitamin E, and fiber, all of them beneficial for the brain and gut. A study showed that children and teenagers who had a steady nut intake had better reaction times and performed better on brain tests.

Stay hydrated
Hydration is vital for concentration. At school, college and even work, we tend to have access to many soft drink machines and these may not be the best choices. Soft drinks contain more sugar and sodium than our body needs, and they can affect our energy levels. Instead, drink water whenever possible, carry a bottle to refill between classes and on breaks. Staying hydrated leads to better skin, more energy, and better overall health.
