This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about impact of healthy eating on academic performance of children.

Healthy eating can have a significant positive impact on the academic performance of children.

Some ways a healthy diet can benefit childrens cognitive function and academic performance include Improved Concentration, Better Memory, Increased Energy, and Improved Mood, etc.

In contrast, an unhealthy diet that is high in processed foods, saturated fats, and sugar can have negative effects on childrens academic performance. A diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can cause energy crashes, which can make it difficult for children to concentrate and focus. Additionally, a diet lacking in essential nutrients can negatively impact cognitive function and memory.

Slide 1-

Lecture #5 CHS 485 Nutrition Education & Services
Slide 2-

Eating and physical activity patterns that are focused on consuming fewer calories, making informed choices, and being physically active can help people attain and maintain a healthy weight, reduce their risk of chronic diseases, and promote overall health.
Slide 3-

Poor diet and physical inactivity are the most important factors contributing to an epidemic of overweight and obesity that affects adults and children in all segments of society. Even in the absence of overweight, poor diet and physical inactivity are associated with: Cardiovascular disease Hypertension Type II Diabetes Osteoporosis some types of cancer. Impact of unhealthy eating
Slide 4-

The dietary guideline of Americans (DGAs) focus particularly on children because of the vital role that nutrition plays throughout life span. Too many children are consuming diets with too many calories, not enough nutrients, and are not getting enough physical activity. Prevalence & Cost of Unhealthy Eating
Slide 5-

- Children who practice healthy eating habits on a regular basis do better in school. Children who eat poorly or engage in too little physical activity don’t perform as they could academically. Unfortunately, many unhealthy eating patterns begin early in life and result in learning difficulties and health problems during the school years and into adulthood. Healthy eating & academic performance
Slide 6-

Action for healthy kids (AFHK) identifies 2 important areas related to academic achievement: Healthy eating & academic performance Nutrition: Children who do not eat healthy diets lack the essential vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins for optimal cognitive functioning. Iron deficiency has been linked to shortened attention span, irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
Slide 7-

Short term hunger from skipping meals can compromise cognitive development and school performance. Teachers report higher levels of hyperactivity, absenteeism, and tardiness among hungry children than among their peers. Increased participation in breakfast programs is associated with increased academic test scores, improved daily attendance, better class participation, and reduced tardiness. Healthy eating and academic performance

2. weight - Correlation between weight problems and academic achievement do not indicate causation. - Being overweight may exacerbate certain health conditions (e.g. joint problem) resulting in school absences. In addition to physical, psychological (low self-esteem, depression, anxiety disorder) and social problems related to their weight. (e.g. overweight students are often the targets of bullying.) Healthy eating and academic performance

Factors that influence healthy eating Food security Dietary & physical activitypattern Healthy school food environment ❖ energy intakelarge portion sizes, outdoor meals, sugar-sweetened drinks, high calories & frequent snacking. ❖ physical activity ❖ sedentary lifestyle
Slide 10-

Guidelines For Schools In the school environment, classroom lessons alone are not enough to lead to lasting changes in students' eating behaviors. Students also need access to healthy food and the support of the people around them. Students receive a strong consistent message when healthy eating is promoted through coordinated school health program.
Slide 11-

The centers of disease control and prevention (CDC) guidelines provide recommendation on seven aspects of school health efforts to promote healthy eating. Policy Curriculum Instructions Program coordination Staff training Family and community involvement evaluation Guidelines For Schools
Slide 12-

Policy: Provide adequate time for nutrition education. Provide healthy & appealing foods ( fruits, vegetables, and low fat grain products). Discourage availability of foods high in fat, sodium, and added sugar. Discourage teachers from using food to punish or reward students. Provide adequate time and safe place for consumption of meals. Formalize links with professionals who can provide counseling, refer to nutrition services, & plan health promotion activities for faculty and staff. Guidelines For Schools
Slide 13-

2. Curriculum Implement a sequential, comprehensive nutrition education curriculum to help students in preschool through high schools (core concept). Help students practice nutrition-related skills (planning healthy meals & comparing food labels). Ensure students practice general health promotion skills: assessing health habits, setting goals, and resisting pressures to make unhealthy eating choices. Guidelines For Schools 3. Instruction Integrate cross-curricular nutrition education strategies that are fun, developmentally appropriate, culturally relevant, and learner-centered into classroom practice. Give example :)
Slide 14-

4. Program Coordination Coordinate school service and nutrition education with other components of the school health program to reinforce messages about healthy eating. Guidelines For Schools 6. Family & Community involvement Encourage families and community involvement in reinforcing healthy behaviors. 5. Staff training Provide pre-service and in-service nutrition education staff with training focused on strategies that promote healthy behaviors. 7. Evaluation Integrate regular evaluation and modification into nutritional health promoting programs.

Guidelines for Nutrition Education Applications
Slide 16-

Important background for k-8 teachers: The DGAs recommendations encompass two concepts: Maintain calorie balance over time to achieve and sustain a healthy weight. Focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods and beverage. Key Resources for Teachers
Slide 17-

- Myplate illustrates the five food groups, using the familiar mealtime visual of a place setting. My plate replace the food pyramid. 2. MyPlate Food Guidance System: Key Resources for Teachers www.choosemyplate.gov
Slide 18-

3. Food Labeling & Nutrition Key Resources for Teachers It provides nutrition facts including: Serving size, Calories, the nutrients, the % of daily value which is based on a 2000 calorie diet.
Slide 19-

Key concepts: - Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.- Consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.- Eating whole fruits is best, but drink 100% juice when choosing fruit juice.- Make at least half of your grains whole grains.- Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) dairy.- Consume 3 servings of dairy each day.- Limit soda and other sugar sweetened beverages. Water is the best option!
Slide 20-

Interventions that promote healthy changes in eating behaviors need to target three interacting spheres of influence: School strategies to promote healthy eating Environment, which influences the likelihood that healthy eating behaviors will be adopted through social norms, influential role model, cues to action, reinforcements, and opportunities to action. Personal characteristics, (knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, self-efficacy…) Behavioral skills and experience. Which are related to selecting and preparing specific foods, dietary self-assessment, and decision making.

Slide 35-

Use meal times, such as school breakfast, snacks or lunch, to teach students about healthy options. Make sure nutrition education isn't only happening in the classroom – Integrate it in the morning announcements and in the cafeteria. Offer nutrition education in a systematic way (i.e. monthly, weekly, as a unit) as opposed to one-time or occasional lessons to help kids internalize the information. Teach through entertainment; e.g. online nutrition games.
