Your children have attacked school and their little brains are being put to the test; concentration, reflection, memory... It fuels our dear little darlings!
To help them put all the chances on their side, consider giving them good fatty acids to boost their brain... starting at breakfast!Lipids, essential nutrients for schoolchildren
The brain is the fattest organ in the body! We therefore understand better why the French Food Safety Agency insists that lipids represent 35 to 40% of children's energy intake!
Their brain, which has so much to discover and learn, needs essential fatty acids to function well. Among these fatty acids, omega 3 DHA allows the formation and maintenance of neurons. They also participate in the transport of glucose, the main fuel for the brain.
DHA would even be directly linked to learning! Wild fish oils are the main source. They have a scientifically proven impact on children's behavior. Those who have a high level of omega-3 DHA have less difficulty concentrating and demonstrate less hyperactivity* and emotional difficulties.
Oil for breakfast; we say yes!
Several studies show that children's mental performance is worse when they skip breakfast. But for this meal to really benefit your child, prepare the best for him.
Here is the recipe for a breakfast that is both healthy and delicious: the energy smoothie!
Prepare it with your child in the morning. This will be a fun opportunity to talk to him about all the good things that make up this “cream”.
Mix in a blender:
- 1 large banana
- 1 handful of almonds
- 1 half lemon juice
- 3 dates
- 1 teaspoon of oil adapted to your needs, such as QUINTESENS Children's oil
- half a glass of milk vegetable rich in calcium (rice milk enriched with calcium or almonds, or chestnuts, etc.)
Once this cream is poured into your child's bowl, add, according to taste: half an apple cut into cubes and/or a teaspoon of wheat germ and/or a teaspoon of fresh pollen, etc.
To vary the tastes, pleasures and nutrients, give free rein to your imagination: hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, raisins, dried figs, dried apricots...
And presto, let's go for a day in great shape and no hunger pangs at 10 a.m.!
