This year South Africa celebrated National Nutrition Week from (9 to 15 October) as a joint initiative between the Department of Health, the Association for Dietetics in South Africa (ADSA), the Nutrition Society of South Africa (NSSA), the Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa (HSFSA) and others.

It was an opportunity to look critically at the nutrition choices we make and to work towards leading healthier, more balanced lives with optimal nutrition.

A good breakfast includes food from the 5 food groups.

1. Proteins

Like Egg and Yoghurt.

2. Fruits and Vegetables

Like Banana and Tomato.

3. Good fats and Oils

Like a Healthy spread and nuts.

Rama is the only spread with 9 vitamins + omega 3 to help kids grow!

4. Grains/Starchy foods

Like Oats and Bread.

5. Unsweetened drinks

Like Water, Milk, and Tea.

Trying to come up with balanced breakfast ideas for fussy eaters can be challenging. Trust me. I’ve been dealing with this for 4 years with my daughter and to top that off, we now have to change her diet because of allergies.

It’s been hard. Really hard but we are slowly getting there and substituting certain products.

Did you know?

Studies compiled in the scientific white paper revealed that school-age children who regularly skip breakfast are not likely to concentrate in class, thus affecting school performance. Studies also show that 86% of children reported that eating breakfast before school helped them to concentrate better and 89% said that it gave them energy for the rest of the day.

With nutrition in the spotlight this week, Rama wants to remind South Africans of the importance of a good breakfast, particularly for schoolchildren.

Rama announced that it will tackle the issue of improving breakfast consumption of South African children in two ways – through a schools programme that teaches kids the importance of a good breakfast every day and through a digital programme for parents.

Last month the Good Breakfast Schools Programme launched in 360 schools in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal – It’s a 4-week behaviour change programme that teaches children the importance and make-up of a good breakfast through interactive classes, including a Breakfast Pledge and song, The Breakfast Beat, written by musician and Good Breakfast ambassador, ProVerb.

Even with the best intentions, sometimes we may be surprised to find out that our children aren’t getting the best possible breakfast nutrition they need.
