Nutrition is probably one of the biggest things neglected in a childs education. We tend to think of homework, parental involvement, classroom structure as big barriers to a child's education(which they are). But even in the home we don't focus on a child's well balanced meals as being an important part to a good learning environment

As teacher's it is very important to be an example of good health and eating habits. You should portray the importance of good health which is for the better in your classroom. The less sick days the kids have, the less sick days you probably will have. If the kids are there more, you teach them more and you will be able to have better scores on tests at the end of the year and you won't spend more of your time re-teaching your concepts and lessons. The kids will also have better self esteem as they get out and are able to enjoy life as much as they are able.
