Children aged 7-12 are in the stage of rapid development, especially in the period of rapid growth in the later stage of primary school. They have high requirements for nutrition. Classroom education requires attention, which is relatively more mental work than before entering school, while game activities tend to decrease. Therefore, the following points should be paid attention to in the diet during this period:

Generally, it is appropriate to provide a certain amount of meat food (50-100g), such as an egg, a bottle of milk or soybean milk, meat floss, ham, soy sauce, etc. it is also possible to add a snack during recess to provide sufficient nutrients and energy, which is conducive to mental work. Lunch should also be paid full attention. If schools or families can provide children with high-quality lunch, it will play a great role in improving children's physical quality. Dinner is usually eaten at home. Double working families often have a rich dinner. However, from the perspective of nutrition, dinner should not be too greasy and full, otherwise it will affect sleep and rest. It is better not to eat after dinner.
(3) cultivate good eating habits and pay attention to food hygiene. Wash hands before eating and after defecation. Fruits should be washed with detergent and water before eating. Develop the good habit of not partial to food, not picky about food and not eating snacks.
