Why Dishes2u Understands the Importance of Lunch for Students

Although many people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we believe lunch has a greater importance for students. Lunch is the main meal that provides the essential energy for students to get through their school days and avoid those mid-afternoon crashes. Not only does eating a nutritious lunch support optimum brain function and focus, but lunch time also allows students the opportunity to refuel and connect with their peers.

Social Connection

Lunch time is an ideal time for teaching and practicing communication, and building positive relationships with peers, helping children develop their social skills. They can learn to interact with others by communicating with other children about themselves and their interests. Conversation and social skills are best developed through these meaningful interactions. Allowing students enough time to relate to others provides a break in routine and refreshes them for the rest of the afternoon at school.

Academic Performance

Lunch is essential for students as it helps raise blood sugar levels providing energy for the rest of the day. This increases the opportunity for students to succeed academically by enhancing brain function, concentration, and focus in the classroom. A nutritious lunch also helps maintain a healthy weight, boosting self-esteem and confidence. When you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to perform at your best, and Dishes2u wants all students to thrive and succeed!
