Aloe Vera, Children & Nutrition
We all know that nutrition is vital for all of us, but none more so than for growing children.
As we race into the 21st century, we’re looking for a world of convenience and speed. We’re living and working - and eating - faster than ever before.
And it’s not all good news - as Jamie Oliver’s TV series ‘School Dinners’ about school meals illustrated. Now more and more schools are starting to provide, or take into account, the idea of what constitutes a really healthy meal for children.
Most school lunches consist of burgers, pizzas, chips and crisps, with sugary drinks… High fat, high salt, high sugar - not a great recipe for healthy, thriving kids; and certainly not conducive to an afternoon of quiet learning!
Speaking to school teachers, they talk of placing the asthma inhalers at the back of the classroom for the kids to line up and take their inhalers after lunch. Is there any coincidence that this need dropped dramatically after the school started providing healthy lunches? Is there a link between diet and allergies?
