At MNR Scottsdale, we understand that learning happens beyond textbooks and classrooms. A child’s development and well-being are strongly linked to their physical and mental health. And at the base of all that well-being is something as elemental and necessary as food. This is the reason MNR Kids are mentored not just in studies and talent, but also in making healthier lifestyle choices for their overall well-being.

Impact of Nutrition on Development in Children

A child is an expression of what they eat, how they move, and how they think. Nutrition is by far one of the key factors for cognitive development, mood regulation, physical energy, and immune support! In summary. So, food has an immediate effect on:

1. Memory and brain function

2. Eye and vision health

3. Height and bone development

4. Digestive and gut health

5. Energy and mood stability

At MNR Scottsdale, we raise our children with the knowledge of the relationship between good food and good health, by shaping them into future-ready individuals who are not only capable but also physically fit and emotionally stable.

Foods That Fuel MNR Kids

We promote a diet that will help their brains grow, their bones be strong, and their tummies be healthy. Some of our favorite foods to recommend are:

Strawberries: Packed with memory and brain-boosting antioxidants.

Carrots -Excellent for vision and the immune system.

Eggs – A wonder food of protein and growth-supporting amino acids.

Milk, Dahi, and Buttermilk- Help in strong bones and maintain gut health.

Play and Physical Activity – Not food, but just as important for digestion, for appetite regulation, and for growth.

These foods are not only healthful, they’re critical requirements for children’s daily function and lasting well-being.

Foods to Limit or Avoid

It should be fine to give her some treats from time to time, but some things are not OK on a regular basis. These include:

Biscuits (packaged) – Sugar and trans fats, very little nutrition.

Tetra Pack Juices – There is usually more sugar and preservatives added.

Horlicks, Bournvita & The Likes – Packed with artificial flavors and sugar.

Corn Flakes – Sold as healthy. Usually full of sugar and low in fiber.

Instant Noodles – These are full of sodium and lack nutrients.

Probiotic Drinks – Most contain more sugar than benefits and upset gut flora.

We urge the parents of MNR Scottsdale to read labels, opt for fresh foods, and make their children develop the habits for healthy eating that become a part of their lives.

Creating a Wellness at MNR Scottsdale

Our school cafeteria, health awareness programs, and class conversations about eating practices ensure that all our little MNR Mites understand the value of eating right. And teachers routinely speak to students about the ways in which some foods make them focus better, perform better on the playing field, and feel more energetic throughout the day.

We even engage the parents through newsletters, PTMs, and workshops so that healthy habits can be maintained at home as well.

At MNR Scottsdale, we believe is training the leaders of tomorrow, not just in academics, but as well in life and in general holistic health. A fairly fed child would rather become a self-confident, concentrated, and bight person finally. It’s why we say: Healthy food, healthy mind, successful life.

So, let’s feed the future. Certainly not a generation of kids who can only be clever and wonderful if they’re off-balance. We need a generation of Kids Not Off-Balance, for who they are as brilliant, competent, strong, balanced, and thriving kids.
