The ultimate goal of education is preparing our children for meaningful and effective participation in this fast- changing world. It also enables our children to attain the fullest realization of their potentials and their dreams. The different learning institutions are doing their best in order to achieve this goal.
How can we be sure that the learnings imparted to our school children are retained in their minds? Studies show that there are many factors that affect the learning process. One of these factors is the proper nutrition among our learners.
Students must be encouraged to observe proper diet and nutrition to enhance their learning and thinking abilities. Some minerals proven to improve and boost mental activity and performance are tyrosine, which is usually found in protein –rich foods, vitamin C, boron, iron, and zinc.
Proper nutrition has good effects in the body, especially in the brain, for it boosts learning, making our students more active and receptive in the different learning processes.
