How a School Lunch Program Benefits Students

Published On: October 16th, 2024Categories: Blog

At Dishes2u we understand how important lunch is for the health and well-being of growing kids. Eating lunch re-energizes your body and is the main meal to fuel students through their school day. It gives them the energy they need to focus and succeed in the classroom, and the nutrients to grow and develop their minds and bodies.

The Importance of Lunchtime

Research shows that having lunch helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes and irritability, which results in improved productivity, school-life balance, and overall well-being. Lunchtime gives kids a break, out of their busy school days to let their brains refresh and refuel for the second half of their day. If they are having a difficult day, it gives them a chance to reset their focus and relieve any stress. Taking a lunch break also gives students an opportunity to socialize and build relationships with their friends, which is great for their spirits!
