Healthy eating tips for back to school
(NC)—As another school year begins, the routine of busy mornings, packing lunches and after-school snacking returns. Breakfast for Learning offers these helpful hints for ensuring students get the nutrition they need to stay healthy and engaged in school: • Eat a balanced breakfast each morning, consisting of at least three of the four food groups, such as a bowl of whole grain cereal with milk and berries.
• Encourage children to opt for healthier food options, like packing nutritious lunches, or choosing milk or water over soft drinks, and salads instead of fries in school cafeterias. • Have healthy snacks available for children on-the-go including pre-cut veggies, fruit or yogurt. • Post a copy of Canada's Food Guide in your home to help remind children and youth to get their daily recommended servings of each food group.
