foods has been associated with poor achievement in school. When children do not eat a
healthy diet, they may miss out some important nutrients needed to support optimal
cognitive functioning.
Good nutrition takes on particular importance during the growing years, for many
A balanced diet means getting the right types and amounts of foods and drinks to
supply nutrition and energy for maintaining body cells, tissues, and organs, and for
supporting normal growth and development. A good and healthy diet plan involves eating
a variety of foods to get the required nutrients while, at the same time, providing the right
amount of calories to maintain a healthy weight. All healthy balanced diets should be
always complete and incorporate the seven essential nutrients: protein (mostly vegetable),
fats, carbohydrates, fiber, water, vitamins and minerals (Europrev - Sociedad, 2005)
In order to get a balance diet, people must know their Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI
is defined as ratio of weight in kilogram to square of height in meter (Onn, 2000). BMI
provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for
weight categories that may lead to health problems. There are four BMI weight
The identification of BMI helps people in choosing the healthy food to be taken.
Healthy food is a food that is highly beneficial to health, especially a food grown
organically and free of chemical additives. It nourishes people body with essential
nutrients, namely, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fats and

enzymes. These nutrients are necessary for life. Taking food that is high in calories but
lack of nutrients leads people to health problems such as obesity, overweight and other
Therefore, in order to have a balance diet, people need to know their BMI as well as
the amount of nutrients in the food taken. This can be done with the help of mathematical

balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance and stamina.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of weight for height that provides a fairly good
estimate of body fat content. Ranges of BMI are used to define weights for height that
correspond the underweight, normal weight, and obesity in child. BMI has the advantage
of being calculated the same way for child males and females. Calculating BMI involves
dividing weight in pounds by height and inches, then dividing this result by height in
Children learn about food and its importance to health and well-being during this
early years of life, and they also establish food preferences and physical activity patterns
that may endure into the adult years. Food intake regulatory mechanisms are affected
by the lessons children learn early in life. Given control over decisions about how much
to eat, children generally become responsive to internal cues that signal when they should
eat and when they stop eating. If the lessons go well, they learn to eat for the right reason.

Eating too much food and less-healthy types of food, coupled with low levels of
physical activity can lead to weight gain in children. However, not eating enough food
can also have negative effects on a child’s development, learning capacity and behavior.
Children who consume breakfast in the morning have improved attention span and
less distracted in class and reduced tardiness while those who do not eat breakfast
experience tiredness.
A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of foods throughout the day, in portion
sizes that are appropriate for a child’s age and sex can help to support academic success.
Eating well and learning the right lessons about food and health have implications
that transcend the growing years. Early diets may have long-term effects on the risk of

Erickson (2008) pointed out five key components, based on research, required to keep the
brain functioning correctly. The substances, all found in food, are important to brain
development and function. Proteins are found in foods such as meat, fish, milk, and
cheese. They are used to make most of the body’s tissues, including neurotransmitters,
earlier identified as chemical messengers that carry information from brain cells to other
brain cells. A lack of protein, also known as Protein Energy Malnutrition, led to poor
and passive, all of which help affect social and emotional development.
Moreover, Wolfe and Burkman cited in their research that confirmed proper nutritional
support is important to allow the brain to function at its highest ability and to enhance
learning. Wolf and Burkman suggested that it does not take much complication or
obscurity through expensive foods and supplements to help students reach their
potentials; healthful nutritional habits learned early in life help endure normal
physiological and neurological growth and development, which translated into students’
solve, and to think critically. Wolfe and Burkman pointed out the importance of utilizing
the Food Guide Pyramid for Young Children, which is an adaptation of the Food Guide
15
ALPHA CENTAURI EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM INC.
Pyramid from the U.S. Department of Food and Agriculture. This food guide focuses on
of young children and needs to be the foundation of their diets (Wolf & Burkman, 2010).
On the other hand, Kar et al. (2008) compared the performance of adequately nourished
children to malnourished children and also compared age related differences in cognitive
function and found that the malnourished children differed from the adequately nourished
working memory, visuospatial functions, verbal comprehension and verbal learning, and
memory.
Li, Dai, Jackson, and Zhang (2008) examined the associations between academic
performance, cognitive functioning, and increased BMI. Each participant had completed
a brief neuropsychological battery and measures of height and weight. Body weight was
measured to the nearest 0.05 kg and height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm. BMI was
calculated in kilograms per meter square and then converted to a sex and age specific
BMI percentile. Each participant was then categorized to an overweight BMI, an at-risk
BMI, or a normal BMI. The average age of participants was 12 and they were about
equally divided in gender. The subjects included differed on most of the characteristics
and come from families with a low socioeconomic status. Among the subjects 20.33%
were classified as overweight and 15.92% were obese. Li et al. (2008) found the

In the Wolpert and Wheeler article, Gomez-Pinilla suggested that diets high in trans fats
and saturated fats negatively affect cognition. These trans fats are found in common fast
food and most junk foods. Through these trans fats, junk food affects the brain synapses
as well as many molecules that aid in learning and memory. A diet low in trans fats are
high in Omega-3 fatty acids that can strengthen synapses and provide cognitive benefits
assess basic school performance .They observed that being overweight was not the root
cause of poor academic performance but found that obese child consider themselves
worse students. Another result from the study was that decreased cognitive function was
associated with increased weight status. Cognitive deficits on tests of motor speed,
weakened performance on motor speed and manual dexterity, and executive function
were found. Poor performance on memory tasks was also common among obese people.
Those with poorer cognitive ability may do worse in school and opt for a lifestyle that
On the other hand, Shore et al. (2008) suggested that non-overweight students

Alaimo, Olson, Frongillo, and Briefel (2010) examined the relationships between family
income, food insufficiency, and health among US children. For this study, food
insufficiency was defined as “an inadequate amount of food intake due to lack of
resources” (p.782). A child was classified as “food insufficient” if the proxy reported that
the family either “sometimes” or “often” did not get enough food to eat.
Jyoti et al. (2009) set out to examine the effects of household food insecurity at
performance in reading and mathematics, a greater decline in social skills for boys, and
greater weight and BMI gains for girls. Food insecurity served as an indicator for
identifying children with deferred courses of development. Jyoti et al. examined the
relation of change in food insecurity over time and concurrent development and found
children from household that became food insecure demonstrated poorer reading and
mathematics performances.
Lahey and Rosen (2010) furthered the research that nutrition affects learning and
behavior and suggested that diet can influence cognition and behavior in many ways,
which include the condition of not enough nutrition or the condition of the lack of certain
inadequate fruit and vegetable intake. These students also showed poor school
performance as compared to those students who had an adequate intake of fruits and
