HOW ARE FOOD, MOOD, AND LEARNING CONNECTED?

We know that providing children with nutritious foods helps in their growth and development. Scientific research has shown that mood swings in humans can be controlled with nutritious food. It will improve mental health. It will increase cognitive skills such as sharpness and retention which will explicitly improve your academic performance. Life-long habits are built at the early stages of life. Foods high in fats, sugars, and salt will create emotional and behavioural problems.

Unhealthy diet consumers are more likely to face depression than those with the healthiest diets. No matter how much you study if you have emotional mood swings then you will not be able to study.

Minimally processed foods from the five food groups:

• Fruit
• vegetables and legumes/beans
• grains (cereal foods)
• milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or their alternatives

School and colleges can play a key role in making up children's minds. Nearly 85 per cent of the students eat outside or order food from outside at least once a week. In the fast-paced world where markets are flooded with junk and unhygienic food. They relish the food items in a way that it will have better taste and the falsified advertisements make us attracted towards these items. These items don’t have much nutritive value. Regular eating makes us habitual and we start getting cravings after some time.

• Studies have proven that snacking on healthy foods rather than oily ones will improve the overall functioning of the brain.
• Make sure water is available on all floors of the school, and colleges and allow students to have a water bottle with them in class.
• Plant a vegetable garden will educate the students about how vegetables are cultivated.
• Schedule ‘healthy food’ breaks that encourage them to eat fruit and vegetables.
• Engage all staff members must push students to become positive role models, taking care of their health by eating healthy foods and drinks at school. Encourage and applaud students for quitting junk food.
• Nitric Oxide is good for brain health and that will help to establish proper nerve cell communication, blood flow, and brain function. Include nitric oxide in your diet in the form of roasted beets with a meal or sip on fresh beet juice while studying. Peppers, carrots, and broccoli are beneficial plant compounds, including carotenoid pigments that will improve mental abilities.
