Children who eat well have the best academic performance in school.

This conclusion was made by Canadian researchers at the University of Alberta, having examined the dietary preferences, weight, height and level of educational achievement of five thousand schoolchildren.

Enrichment of the diet of baby food with fruits, vegetables, grains and protein products and calcium was associated with faster performance of homework, better test results and examinations and overall good performance.

Those students who regularly eat foods with a lot of saturated fats and salt, on the contrary, were recorded bad marks. Schoolchildren who receive proper and healthy nutrition at home and away from home are 41% less likely to have low literacy. According to experts, in addition to socio-economic factors, the quality of nutrition also plays a significant role for the effectiveness of the cognitive skills of a growing organism.
