The connection between learning and good nutrition has been proven, however most classrooms have yet to experience the full effect of what good nutrition could do for students. A diet full of highly processed foods and a lack of daily activity are all contributing to what has been termed “Nutrition Deficit Disorder” by Dr. Bill Sears. Dr. Sears suggests that Nutrition is the missing “medicine” to many behavior and learning problems.
