A child’s brain grows faster in the first few years than at any other time in life. What they eat during this period builds the foundation for how they learn, think, and feel.
Just like a plant needs good soil to grow, a child’s brain needs nutrients to develop strong and healthy.
•Proteins :(milk, eggs, fish, lentils) help build brain cells.
•Healthy fats: (nuts, seeds, fish, olive oil) support memory and focus.
•Iron and zinc: (meat, spinach, beans) improve concentration.
•Vitamins :and minerals (fruits, vegetables) protect the brain and boost mood.
•Water :keeps the brain active and alert.
When children eat balanced, home-cooked meals regularly, they tend to do better in studies, handle emotions better, and have steady energy throughout the day.
*But skipping meals or eating too much junk food can affect attention, memory, and even mood — making them more irritable or tired.
So, a nutritious plate today is not just feeding a child’s body — it’s building their future brain.
