Description
This talk explored the growing body of research linking diet to student mental health and wellbeing. We discussed the research linking the gut-brain axis, the role of specific nutrients and dietary patterns on focus, mood, and learning. This session went beyond the science, offering educators practical strategies to integrate diet and nutrition recommendations directly into the classroom. These tools helped educators create supportive learning environments that promoted student wellbeing and learning through evidence-based approaches.Period | 10 Jul 2024 |
