Learning from home means eating at home during the day, here are some things to keep in mind. According to family doctors and childhood feeding experts, cognitive health is supported through food, movement and hydration.
Maintaining even blood sugar levels help with ability to pay attention. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar over a long period of time and helps kids focus on what they are learning. Plant-based foods, fruits and veggies, are supportive of cognitive health, mood, and memory.
Feeding either three meals and two snacks, or ever two to four hours. Regular sleep and eating times help with paying attention and mood too. Take water breaks every 20 minutes.
