Hungry children can t learn.
Teachers have said it for years, and recent research supports it. Medical authorities and nutrition researchers have documented that meeting nutritional requirements throughout childhood is essential to full intellectual development. Recent research furnishes compelling evidence that a lack of proper nutrition impacts the behavior of children, their school performance, and their overall cognitive development. Researchers have found that undernourished children are less inquisitive and interested in their environment, explore less and learn less from their surroundings, and are less interested in establishing relationships with others.
