Nutrition & Child Development 101

Currently, in the United States, one in three children are overweight or obese and 15.8 million children under the age of 18 live in households where they are unable to access enough nutritious food to attain a healthy life. Both obesity and malnutrition greatly affect the quality of life and can put one at risk for many serious health issues as well as developments in life. Besides love and learning, there are two main factors that play a roll in the health of a child's development: nutrition and physical activity. Nutrition and brain function go hand in hand. A child that is well nourished will perform far better in school than one who eats junk food or isn't fed enough food. Therefore, a child whom eats healthy, is physically active, and mentally focused, will make healthier choices and be much more successful in every aspect of life than a child who is either over weight, malnourished, or underdeveloped academically. This was what determined T1 Sports Academy to come to the conclusion that just training simply wasn't going to cut it.
