Question

give a menu planning for school children .

Answer 1

Adequate nutrition of school aged children will also ensure they grow to their full potential, and provide the stepping stones to a healthy life.

School-aged children grow significantly, but at slower rate, whilst being very physically active in general. As a result, their nutritional needs are high and critical.

Choose a diet with plenty of grain products, vegetables and fruits. Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Buy low-calorie and low-fat meals, snacks and deserts, low fat or skim milk and diet drinks. Choose a diet that provides enough calcium and iron to meet their growing body's requirements.
