School loads are sometimes very bad for our children. The increase in the number of lessons and time spent by a child at school adversely affects the physical and mental health of modern schoolchildren. In addition, the inability to eat fully during the day leads to the fact that the children satisfy their hunger with snacks, consuming poor-quality foods bought in the nearest supermarket.
But is it better to eat parents who are also engaged in the financial support of the family full-time. Semi-finished products, hastily cooked food often becomes our daily routine.
And yet, we will strive to provide children with a healthy diet. How correctly to eat to schoolchildren?
First of all, you need to organize a diet appropriate for the child's age. Let us recall, for example, that there are six meals a day in a children's sanatorium. Strictly speaking, if you count how many times a child snacks during the day, it will be approximately the same. So, we need to change something, so that the food was full. The schoolchild's meal schedule can be as follows: breakfast at home, breakfast with you to school, meals in the school cafeteria, lunch at home, afternoon snack, dinner.
Including in the diet of the child the products necessary for growth, we help the body to cope not only with the changes occurring in the growing child, but also with increasing external loads. During the period of active growth, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and fish products, milk and dairy products are of the greatest importance. The percentage of their introduction into the schoolchild's diet is the highest.
I would like to draw your attention to one point of the organization of school meals. This is the child's attitude to his health. Parents should be given this more time. Telling a child about how how to eat correctly, without a personal example, is unlikely to be effective.
However, if healthy food schoolboy still fit into three meals, you need to properly organize it.
How to eat right in the morning?
Not all children agree to eat in the morning. However, the wisdom of parents and the firmness of the decision should prompt what to offer the student for breakfast.
It is not recommended to include very fatty foods in the morning meal. If the child in the morning feels dizzy, weak, offer him a mixture of nuts with dried fruits. In the case of the upcoming test work, you need to eat a sandwich with meat or liver pate. If the schoolboy has become very excitable, advise eating more fresh fruit.
Proper nutrition of children is not conceivable without cereal. Oatmeal and buckwheat are the irreplaceable companions of the growing organism, saturate it with carbohydrates, helping to cope with daytime difficulties. Do not interfere and "Fruit pilaf", which is very easy to cook.
To do this, firstly soak rice( 1 glass).Then wash, add boiling water and cut dried apricots and prunes, wash raisins, wash and cut into cubes a sweet-sour apple. Dried fruits for 50 g, 1 average apple. Pour water into the pot( 2 cups), bring to a boil, add salt, pour in the washed rice, add butter( 1 tablespoon).When the rice is half welded, we lower the dried fruits and apple into the pan. The end of cooking is determined by the willingness of rice. To taste in pilaf add sugar. I have not yet seen children who did not eat this dish.
How to eat right in the day?
Without the supervision of parents, children are unlikely to eat at school what is useful. Most likely they will eat what's delicious. Therefore, if possible, the child should have dinner at home. A hot lunch for a schoolboy is simply necessary. Especially the first dishes. In addition to them, the lunch should include a meat or fish dish.
How to eat right in the evening? The student's dinner should also be dense and supplement the necessary nutrients of the daily ration. However, late eating prevents the child from having a good night's sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to eat tightly three to four hours before bedtime, and before going to bed, drink kefir or eat an apple.
