I don’t know if you’ve heard about how poor nutrition has affected many kids’ performances in school, especially those in impoverished areas. Those kids who are forced to work after school to help earn money to feed their families don’t only have difficulty keeping up with their lessons because of exhaustion, but also because of bad nutrition. They simply have nothing healthy to eat.
Funny enough, kids from families that are better off financially suffer from poor eating habits that affect their school standing.
Studies have shown that the quality of food has a lot to do with a person’s sharpness, creativity and productivity.
“Toddlers fed a diet packed high in fats, sugars, and processed foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta, salads and fruit, it was found.” (Richard Alleyne)
