Most parents understand that a balanced and nutritious diet is important for nourishment, energy, and development. So, how can proper nutrition translate to success in preschool?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, a lack of a well-balanced diet can lead to health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, and high cholesterol. Some of these ailments can affect your preschooler for a lifetime. So, avoid foods that contain a high amount of sugar, fat, or processed carbohydrates. These unhealthy foods can also have an effect on moods and mental well-being. These unhealthy foods will not set up your child for success in school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides better physical health, a well-balanced diet has been linked to academic success. According to the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyschools\/health_and_academics\/pdf\/factsheetDietaryBehaviors.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Youth Risk Behavior Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, children that eat breakfast every day; eat at least one or more servings of fruit, vegetables, and milk each day; as well as avoid drinking soda are more likely to have mostly A\u2019s on their report cards. While preschoolers may not be earning letter grades, they are building the foundation for future academic success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/9417167\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that healthy meals can boost students\u2019 concentration and cognitive function. Practically, this can translate to increased focus and improved classroom behavior. One reason for this is that foods that are rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats such as eggs, yogurt, apples, and oatmeal keep the body feeling full longer and provide enough energy to focus and stay alert throughout the school day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, your preschooler\u2019s brain needs the proper fuel. The brain is always &#8220;on.&#8221; It works hard every day all day taking care of all of the body\u2019s functions. It even works while you sleep! This means the brain requires a constant supply of fuel, and that fuel comes from the foods you eat.\u00a0 In other words, what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain. For the best success in school, your preschooler needs quality foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will nourish the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/missouri-city\/blog\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
