Back-to-school Wellness Sets Students Up for Success



Wellness remains top of mind as parents start to prepare for the upcoming school year. Research shows that schools with strong parent involvement have students who behave better, score better on exams, and do better socially.

To help achieve academic success in the 2022-23 school year, it is important to prioritize nutrition and overall healthfulness. In fact, eating well throughout childhood and adolescence supports proper growth and development while preventing various health conditions. The CDC recommends meals containing fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, oils, and a variety of proteins.

There are many ways to achieve these goals, including solid food, vitamin supplements, and plant-based protein. Additionally, youth should avoid empty calories. Added sugars and solid fats contribute to 40% of daily intake for those 2-18 years of age. Approximately half of these empty calories come from soda, pizza, and whole milk.

Beyond diet, exercise and well-being also contribute to a student’s success in the classroom. A U.S. study showed that when pollen counts doubled, a percentage of elementary schoolers saw a drop in testing scores when compared to their counterparts. Nearly 1.7 million children have one or more allergies. Antihistamines can help treat symptoms and hives so children can stay focused on their studies and extracurricular activities.

Syn will provide viewers with tips to help enhance their children’s nutrition and wellness plans throughout the upcoming school year.
