The beginning of the school year is a new stage in the life of children: a period when they switch to a different regime of activity, sleep and nutrition. To prepare the child for classes and ease the transition from summer vacation to school, it is recommended to adjust his diet. The children's menu should include as many natural products as possible with a high content of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals important for mental and physical activity. They can be found at Moscow fairs.
Fiber to aid digestion
Fiber controls blood sugar levels and helps the body digest foods better. It consists of non-starch polysaccharides and other plant components that nourish the beneficial intestinal microflora and provide long-lasting satiety. Fiber is found in plant-based foods: vegetables, fruits, berries and greens, as well as grains, legumes and nuts. To ensure that your child gets enough of it, the menu should include, for example, apples (with skin), pears, whole grain bread, bulgur, quinoa, spelt, buckwheat or pearl barley porridge.
You can purchase these products at interregional fairs in Moscow. For example, on Profsoyuznaya Street (building 41) they sell oatmeal, spelt and other porridges made from whole unrefined grains, as well as healthy bread. If your child is allergic to gluten, it is recommended to visit the fair on Bolshoy Nikolopeskovsky Lane (building 8), where unique products made from banana, flaxseed and rice flour are presented.
For fresh vegetables and fruits, you should go to weekend markets. Children eat fiber-rich pears, apples, blackberries and raspberries with pleasure. But many children refuse vegetables rich in dietary fiber. Therefore, you can experiment with serving dishes: make an original omelette with broccoli eyes and green curls.
Protein for growth and development
Protein is a building material for cells and tissues. It is necessary for the development of muscles and bones, healthy skin. Red and white meat, dairy products, fish and eggs contain a lot of protein.
Interregional fairs present high-quality livestock products, supplied from the best farms in the country. Buyers can buy protein-rich cheeses, sugar-free yogurts with natural additives, thick sour cream, juicy cottage cheese and fresh milk. All this is not only healthy, but also very tasty. In addition, fairs offer products for people with allergies to cow protein: there are stalls with dairy products made from sheep and goat milk.
Vitamins and minerals for fatigue and bad mood
It will be easier to cope with the school workload if the child's body receives a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. Products containing vitamins A, C, D and group B, iron, calcium, iodine, zinc, magnesium will help support cognitive abilities and increase stress resistance. They are contained in different proportions in vegetables and fruits, meat, fish and seafood. At Moscow fairs, you can buy the whole set at once and be sure of its freshness and quality.
Those who need to restructure their sleep and wakefulness regime after the holidays should pay special attention to products containing melatonin. It is found in corn and watermelons. The production of this hormone is also promoted by a healthy and sweet delicacy – honey. At the end of August, fresh honey, collected this year, appeared at fairs.
If the child is prone to stress, sesame, walnuts, sweet peppers and green apples should be added to his menu. They contain magnesium, which has a positive effect on the nervous system.
Balanced meals five times a day
It is important not only what the child eats, but also how often. It is optimal for children to eat five times a day: breakfast and lunch should be hearty and hot, together they should give the body a little more than half of the daily calorie intake. The daytime snack between classes, afternoon snack and dinner can be made lighter. Yogurts with berries or nuts, fruits, vegetables or whole grain pastries are suitable as snacks. You should not eat and drink a lot at night, it is better to replace juices with clean water, fruit drinks, homemade compotes and herbal infusions.
Nutrition should be varied and balanced. The daily need for proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals can be replenished by combining different products, cooking and serving methods. It is worth paying attention not only to the children's menu. If the parents themselves prefer chips and soda, the child will not start eating right just because there are healthy products in the house. He always needs an example, and the beginning of the school year can be a reason to review the diet of all family members.
