Chalk Talk: Eating Right for Good Grades
Just like adequate sleep is necessary for optimal intellectual performance, proper nutrition is also essential for school performance. While many schools around the nation are adopting healthier options, here are some general guidelines to follow when packing snacks or in the cafeteria line. 1) Choose good fats such as omega-3s from fish, nuts, seeds and dark leafy greens, 2) Protein is also essential to brain function. Look for lean meats and minimally-sweetened yogurt, 3) Go for complex carbs, such as whole grain cereals or rolls, 4) Don't forget fruits and vegetables. Essential micronutrients can be found in them, 5) Drink water. It's just as important to a healthy brain as food.
