ABC NUTRITION
WHAT DO WE EAT?
Carefully planned menus for four daily meals are based on the principles - we cook healthy.
We start the day with breakfast consisting of:
whole grains (spelt, barley, rye, oats, millet, red corn)
eggs
dairy products
vegetables
We combine all that into delicious recipes adapted to children's tastes.
The first snack is always fruit!
Lunch contains a lot of fresh and cooked vegetables, legumes, meat and fish with the addition of whole grains. Soups, stews and salads are prepared with care in order to preserve the beneficial ingredients of the food. They are thermally processed for a short time, cooked with steam or in a little liquid, in dishes that preserve the quality of the food.
Cold-pressed oils are used and added at the end of cooking so that it is not exposed to high temperatures.
The second snack is integral home-made pastries sweetened with honey, dried and fresh fruit, enriched with fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, sesame seeds and flax seeds. Our cooks hang out with children and know what children like, that's why we cook healthy.
WHAT DON'T WE EAT?
Our menu never includes:
industrial products,
cured meat products
pâtés
refined fats (margarine, refined oils)
foods are not fried, that is, oils are not exposed to high temperatures
sugar is used in minimal quantities
we don't drink industrial juices, we don't eat industrial biscuits and sweets
birthdays are celebrated with lots of fruit shaped into a cake where there is always room for a few candles
We cook healthy!
WE ARE WHAT WE EAT
All folk sayings, throughout the centuries and various cultures, say one thing and indisputably: We are what we eat . Medicine has long indicated that the marketing promotion of harmful food for health is becoming more and more aggressive. In the middle of this paradox, parents and preschool institutions deal with the most sacred task - raising a healthy child. Our psychophysical condition depends on the food we eat.
Studies and research
It is known that the studies done on this topic show that the way of eating is directly related to several important things, and they include:
the level of mental productivity of a person
emotional state
physical health and appearance
Science is also increasingly dealing with the issue of human nutrition because it realizes that it is the basis for human health. It is true that modern medicine has dealt with many diseases that were fatal in the past, but the modern lifestyle has brought new ones. In our region, the most widespread is the traditional way of eating. In the last few decades, vegetarianism and macrobiotics have become more widespread. It is a fact that the positions of classic nutritionism and alternative movements in nutrition are increasingly converging. This project is based on that connection, on the realistic foundations that the conditions of our country and the preschool system require. That's why we cook healthy.
The project includes:
general information about the importance of nutrition, harmful and useful foods and principles of healthy nutrition
staff training (cooks, nurses and kindergarten teachers)
parent education and family cooperation program
children's activity program
promoting healthy nutrition for children on a wider level
recipes
contacts of producers of biologically correct foods
