Alarms are sounding off in homes everywhere—and that can only mean one thing--children are heading back to school. Did you know the foods you feed your children can make or break their mental performance in school? There are very specific tips and tools that can help your youngster (and, really, adults too) how to optimize both mental and physical performance. While I can’t promise straight A’s, I can promise that the food you provide for your family can absolutely improve the likelihood of them doing well. Food is fuel. Would you put mud in the tank of a race car? Well feeding your body junk food is like putting mud in the gas tank—it won’t translate to optimal performance. Here are a few things that will along with some quick dinner ideas, since time is of the essence. PLAN AHEAD! There is no telling what your day will be like, so it’s crucial to pack food for a typical day ahead of time; doing so the night before schools is ideal. It’s not easy to be the gatekeeper, making sure everyone gets to school or work on time. We know the routine all too well—running around, trying to make sure every last thing is done before the family is out the door.

Don’t have time in the morning—make it, because this is clearly the most important meal of the day! Not hungry after just rolling out of bed—too bad. It doesn’t take more than 3 minutes to eat a piece of fruit, swallow down a yogurt, or whip up a meal replacement powder with frozen fruit. Oh yeah, and don’t think about a drive thru unless you also plan to stop to put mud in your gas tank to effectively fuel your car. Keep in mind that there are also specific foods that are loaded with nutrients; fruit in general is great, but dark berries in particular have been shown to pack a super nutrient punch. Having some protein at each meal may help keep you stay alert at your desk as well. Remember too that glucose is the brains primary food; low carb diets will keep you in a fog all day, so don’t forget the whole grains as well. Finally, omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for brain development and mental performance. Eating well throughout the day is important, but it’s often dinner that trips us up with schedules that don’t make life easy.
