As the school year gets into full swing, parents and children alike are navigating the bustling routine of homework, extracurriculars and early mornings. One often overlooked factor that can make a significant difference in your child’s academic performance is their diet. Believe it or not, what’s on their plate has a profound impact on their focus, energy and overall learning experience at school. So, let’s dive into how you can boost children’s concentration with a few tasty, nutritious tweaks!
START WITH BREAKFAST
A balanced breakfast fuels your child’s brain, kick-starts their metabolism and sets them up for a productive day ahead. Try to opt for complex carbohydrates like whole-grain cereals or porridge, paired with proteins such as eggs or Greek yoghurt, for slow-releasing energy that avoids a crash. Adding a handful of berries or a banana can provide the perfect dose of vitamins and natural sugars for some extra sustained energy.
EMBRACE OMEGA-3
When it comes to brain health, omega-3 fatty acids are a must. These healthy fats play a big role in cognitive function and memory. Incorporating some omega-3-rich foods into your child’s diet will keep their brain sharp and ready for learning. Oily fish like salmon or mackerel are excellent sources, but if fish isn’t a favourite, try adding chia seeds or walnuts to kids’ meals. These small but mighty ingredients can make a big difference in their focus and overall brain health.
