Practicing food eating habits during these teen years also set the student up for post school so they can take care of themselves.

The focus for students during the last few years of high school should be on nutrients for brain, not just muscles. Required nutrients for brain function include protein, glucose, omega 3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. 7-9 hours’ sleep and hydration are also essential. The challenge is to put these nutrients together in well balanced meals and snacks that support the demands of studying and exams[/mpc_textblock][mpc_divider preset=”mpc_preset_4″ width=”30″ lines_style=”dashed” lines_color=”#eaeaea” lines_weight=”2″ padding_divider=”true” padding_css=”padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;”][mpc_textblock content_width=”100″ margin_divider=”true” mpc_tooltip__border_divider=”true” mpc_tooltip__padding_divider=”true”]There will be time for questions at the end of the seminar however if you have specific or individual nutritional issues please book a 1:1 appointment with Edwina by emailing edwina@nutrition4performance.com.au or calling the SESMO clinic on 8313 9217[/mpc_textblock]
