A healthy diet leads to a healthy body and a healthy brain. For school kids, it's indispensable to take care of their diet since they use more of their brain in studying than other people. Therefore, they need additional macro and micronutrients. Green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, kale and spinach are rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A, K, forms of vitamin B, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. Other than dark green coloured vegetables, vegetables like sweet potato, carrot, beetroot and so forth are also no less nutritional. 

Although most of the children don't like vegetables, these should be included in their daily diet. Fruits which are low sugary such as kiwi, berries, guava, orange, etc. also come up packed with key minerals and vitamins. Low-fat dairy products are rich in calcium and protein which are equally important for the body. 

Since school kids spend much time studying and there is resulting lack of physical health, macronutrients are of paramount importance in giving good physical health. For meeting protein needs, lean beef, chicken, eggs, turkey, soya chunks, kidney beans and chickpeas are good options. Wholesome grains and cereals are rich in fibre that helps in proper digestion, hence, they should be consumed regularly.

That's All folks
