Why a healthy lunch influences your child's grades

I know that every day you wake up early and prepare your child’s healthy lunch so that he or she eats healthy and tasty at school. And a fantastic moment is when you realize that the Tupperware containers return home safely. However, the best feeling is to notice that they also come back empty. And you are absolutely right, because lunch influences their school performance. That’s right, a study carried out in the United States analyzed whether better nutrition influenced the cognitive functions of its students. To do this, the grades of students from all public schools in California were reviewed. The researchers found that the schools with the best results were those that had contracted with providers with healthier options. However, there are also other reasons why these schools maintain better grades, since they are conditioned to maintain students with good grades to receive federal funds and they continually work to develop strategies to meet the established requirements. Despite this, the main objective of those schools was not to increase grades, but to improve the health of their students. Some of those decisions are also part of a federal law that requires schools to limit sodium and sugar levels in their foods, as well as offer fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Can you imagine that this also happened in Mexico? This way you could be calmer when your children stay to eat at school. In any case, you can feel proud because the effort and love you put into each lunch helps you get better grades. If you still haven’t sent him a lunch healthy, this is the right time to start! Kisses!
