At the beginning of the new school year, when students eagerly go to school in their neat uniforms, the indispensable "luggage" for them to enter the classroom with the best physical and mental condition is nutrition.

A nutritious breakfast, a balanced school lunch and a micronutrient-rich dinner not only create a foundation for health, but also contribute to nurturing the intelligence and developing stature of future generations.

Close coordination between families, schools, health care and local authorities has become an urgent requirement. Building healthy nutrition habits today is to ensure a healthy, happy and well-rounded generation.

Nguyen Hoang Lam - Class 5A2, Bac Cuong Primary School No. 2, Cam Duong Ward said: " I hope that this school year there will be more dishes with vegetables. Such dishes are not only nutritious but also help us concentrate better on our studies."

Along with that, Vu Thuy Duong, Class 5A2, Bac Cuong Primary School No. 2, Cam Duong Ward also shared: "I hope the school menu changes regularly, has a lot of nutrients and ensures health safety after each school hour."

For primary school children, forming healthy eating habits is the foundation for them to have good health, intelligence and a strong spirit on their learning journey.

Adequate nutritious meals play a very important role in the physical development of students.

If students directly feel the benefits of nutrition, parents are the ones who guide them. Each family meal not only provides nutrition but also trains children to live a scientific and disciplined life.

Ms. Le Thi Thanh Huyen, mother of Luong Minh Quan, Bac Cuong Primary School No. 2, Cam Duong Ward, shared: “Thanks to the school's attention and the doctor's guidance, I see more clearly the importance of feeding my child with enough nutrients, variety and regular changes. The family will coordinate with the school to monitor the boarding meals, train the child in healthy habits, limit fast food and milk tea. When parents set an example, children will gradually form a scientific lifestyle to study well and develop comprehensively."

While children are easily attracted to fast food and soft drinks, it is the perseverance and example of parents that will become the "shield" to protect their children's long-term health.

Parents are the companions at home, while the school is the place to organize and directly supervise school meals. School nutrition is not just about rations, but also an important part of comprehensive education .

Mr. Pham Trong Huu - Vice Principal of Bac Cuong Primary School No. 2 discussed with teachers about the school's boarding meals in the next school year.

Teacher Pham Trong Huu - Vice Principal of Bac Cuong Primary School No. 2, affirmed: “Nutrition is the foundation to help students have enough energy, health and concentration to study, play and develop comprehensively. The school has established a survey team, signed a contract with a reputable unit, published the weekly menu and checked regularly. Meals are always balanced, diverse and suitable for taste. We also actively cooperate with parents to educate and adjust students' eating habits.

In fact, when the quality of the meals is guaranteed, students are healthier, more active, and more attached to school. This is also the basis for parents to place their trust in the school, thereby creating a healthy and happy educational environment.

Ensuring school nutrition is not only the responsibility of families and schools but also requires close supervision from local authorities. Because food safety from the selection of ingredients to processing is a key factor in protecting the health of thousands of boarding students.

Adequate nutrition helps students have physical strength and creativity in learning activities.

Mr. Bui Ngoc Minh - Deputy Head of the Department of Culture and Society, Cam Duong Ward, said: "From the beginning of the school year, the ward has directed schools to develop diverse and nutritious menus and coordinate with parents to unify the diet. Regular and surprise inspection teams have been and will be deployed; the results will also be public and transparent in the spirit of Decree 214/2025/ND-CP. In the coming time, we will encourage cooperation with clean food suppliers, train nutrition staff and replicate the model "Safe Kitchen - Green School", towards sustainable development". The government's participation in supervision not only increases transparency but also creates trust in parents, while affirming the responsibility of public accountability in educating and caring for the younger generation.

If students are the ones who directly experience, parents guide, schools organize, and authorities supervise, then the medical sector is the force that provides the scientific basis.

The principles of school nutrition are adequate - balanced - diverse. Children need 4 groups of nutrients: carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats and vitamins and minerals from vegetables, tubers and fruits.

Breakfast accounts for 25-30% of the day's energy, helping children stay alert and focused. In addition to the main meal, you should add snacks such as fruit, yogurt, and fresh milk. Food must be fresh, hygienically prepared, and changed regularly to prevent micronutrient deficiencies and create excitement. The most important thing is that parents need to set an example, avoid using sweets as rewards, and should let children participate in preparing meals to form positive habits from an early age."

Sharing from doctors not only emphasizes scientific principles but also offers specific solutions that can be applied immediately in families and schools.

From students to parents, from schools to government and healthcare - every link plays an important role in building a "nutritious luggage" for the young generation. When meals are guaranteed to be safe and balanced, it is not only nutrition for today but also an investment for tomorrow. In the context of fast food and industrial soft drinks increasingly dominating, building a scientific lifestyle for students becomes an urgent task. This is not the responsibility of an individual, but requires the cooperation of the whole community, to have a healthy, confident generation, ready to conquer knowledge. A happy education is only complete when each school meal is prepared with responsibility and love for children.
