After nearly three months off, it’s time for young minds to return to school. As they settle back into their routines, it’s crucial to remember the basics.
Fuel Your Kids Right
Healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains help your child fight off back-to-school germs. Fill two-thirds of their lunchbox with plant-based snacks and add lean proteins like chicken, fish, or plant-based options. Avoid processed meats like salami and deli turkey, and skip sugary drinks like soda and juice.
Sun Safety Matters
The sun’s UV rays can harm your child’s skin year-round, even on cloudy days. Teach them to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If they need to be outside, dress them in UV-protective clothing and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen to exposed skin.
Keep Them Moving
Kids need at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily to stay healthy. Make sure they have time for exercise, whether it’s playing outside or participating in sports. Regular exercise boosts their mental focus and helps them grow into strong, smart, and healthy individuals.
