Bullying has existed for decades. It is not new, but in recent times has had a high degree of relevance for the psychological implications that have been detected in children more consciously. How can we help our children avoid being part of this?
​
The term refers to bullying, and it is the manifestations of physical or verbal violence in a recurring and intentional way in which a child is subjected by his schoolmates, many times without apparent cause, and is carried out only by showing some power or greater strength towards the child they bother, thus achieving a misunderstood status or domain by the aggressor.

The manifestations of bullying are many: closing the door to the child so that he does not enter the classroom, hit him, kick him, threaten him, make fun of him, insult him, break his things, throw away school supplies, steal objects or materials, to his person, isolate him from the group, and many more that create an atmosphere of tension, anxiety, depression and sadness in the battered child that can have repercussions for life by being a victim of these acts.

There are many theories about the causes of why a child may become abusive, ranging from the child's learning of these behaviors at home, where an environment of aggression may prevail (toward the mother, towards the father, towards the siblings, to neighbors or even to pets), and theories that indicate that the aggressor child has a very great insecurity and finds this behavior as the only way to overcome his own feelings.

On the other hand, victims have generally been detected as those children who are different from the rest, either because of their mature behavior, because of a disability or physical trait, because they are shy or visibly insecure, and are therefore detected as easy targets Of harassing.

What is important is that the responsibility of the parents should be centered in knowing their children, and knowing if they can meet a victim or a perpetrator at home, speak openly with them and correct situations as soon as possible before it affects the child. boy. It is also possible to motivate children who are spectators or who witness acts of bullying with their comrades to denounce it, not to remain silent and to cultivate and share empathy with the children affected, trying to create an environment that in the future Will help create more and better social relationships in their personal and professional lives.

Because education is a joint responsibility that will determine the success or failure of our children.

It is well known that the problem of world food is something that must be taken conscience and action, because on one side there are millions of people in conditions that make them go hungry, and on the other there is a large population that wastes food. A segment in this last state is the school.

There are many factors that lead children and adolescents to throw away the food that has been sent to them for lunch, among which are:

• Children prefer to buy something more "tasty" than their lunch in school cafeterias.
• Children are bored of the same dishes at the daily lunch
• Children only receive vegetables and fruits (such as cucumbers with lemon and carrots)
• Children do not have enough time to play and eat, so they prefer to play to ingest lunch
• The recess time is very early, when children are not yet hungry enough
• Girls have a higher tendency to waste food than boys
• Younger children tend to waste more food than older ones
• The foods that are most wasted and end up in the trash are salads, vegetables and fruits

So how much lunch is right? How many fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbohydrates and fats should be placed in the lunch box? In what combination? The answers are not universal and depend a lot on each child and the knowledge that their parents have of him. What is recommended is that lunches should always be nutritious, varied, sufficient and appetizing for children, with an appropriate balance between quantities and ingredients, and of course ask the child's honesty about whether they actually consume what is ordered, And if not, find what can be improved so that it can perform better.

If you want to offer your children the best option for a nutritious, varied, sufficient and of course delicious lunch, and in the amounts recommended by the experts, at Club Omega Tree we take care of that by delivering daily lunches prepared with fresh ingredients and with Recipes created by Chefs.

Because in the Omega Tree Club we know that a nurtured child will be a successful child.

Sugar, that sweet ingredient that is common in almost all processed products and whose flavor captivates children and adults, is a component that often brings not only the sweet taste pleasant to the palate but a series of unwanted calories, Empty for their null nutritional content, and that in a high consumption can cause serious problems to health in the medium and long term. Now, the question is how much is a high consumption? How many grams of sugar can be safely consumed daily?

There are several types of sugars and can be found in many foods, from natural sources like fruits, milk, vegetables like carrots and even in tubers like potatoes. Of course, they can be found in processed form as ingredients that improve the taste in soda, ketchup, biscuits, breads and cakes, and even in fish and similar empanizers that are sold in packs. Of course, the way in which the metabolism responds to the sugar intake of a pear is not the same as a processed juice.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined in several of its studies that the excessive consumption of sugars in the modern diet can have undesirable effects on health, from the appearance of dental caries, decreased appetite in children who consume high Amounts of this product inhibiting the consumption of healthy foods, weight gain and body fat due to the transformation of those calories not occupied by the body into lipids, to the risk of causing type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Cancer and Alzheimer.

For all of the above, it has been recommended that the amount of sugar consumed in childhood should not exceed 10% of the total daily caloric intake of the child, and based on our previous publication which mentions that a child in age School children should consume an average of 1,750 calories per day, then children should consume a maximum of 175 calories of sugars, that is, about 40 grams of sugar per day or less if possible.

If you analyze the sugar, glucose, fructose, sucrose and other sweeteners content of what is given to children day by day, you will probably be providing more than the suggested amounts. For example, a can of common soda can contain 40 grams of sugars, which is the maximum recommended daily, and that in a single product and without any nutritional contribution. That is why it is the responsibility of parents to inculcate healthy and proper food habits in quantity and variety so that their children do not learn to consume sugars excessively, thus avoiding major risks to their health in the future.

If you wish to offer your children the best option for a nutritious, varied, sufficient and of course delicious but low in sugars lunch, at Club Omega Tree we take care of that by delivering daily lunches prepared with fresh ingredients and with recipes created by hand Chefs.

Because at the Omega Tree Club we know that a nurtured child will be a successful child.

​Black bean is a legume that has accompanied the diet of Mexicans for thousands of years, and is still a basic ingredient of many of the dishes that make up the large and sufficient cuisine of the country and the whole of America.

Black bean is a food that brings many benefits, as it is low in sodium, rich in fiber and protein, and provides minerals essential for health, although in some regions and according to fashions and customs is being stopped consuming so Regularly as before.

Beans are an important source of iron (for the prevention of anemia), calcium, phosphorus and other minerals that help the bone system in general grow healthy and strong, vital for full development, as well as an excellent source of Antioxidants present in its dark colored cover, which help protect cells from free radicals, those compounds increasingly common but harmful to cells throughout the body.

Black beans provide soluble fiber (which helps maintain cholesterol levels in acceptable ranges, as well as has a blood glucose regulating effect), and insoluble fiber, which fully helps regulate the intestinal tract for better functioning. In addition, they have many plant proteins with no cholesterol trace and few saturated fats.

In the Club Omega Tree we use black beans in our dishes that require it, as we always include the best ingredients for the best use of nutrients, both for their natural properties and for their combinations to achieve maximum benefits, with a Unmatched flavor.

The debate and the controversy have long existed if breakfast really is the most important food that can be made during the day. If analyzed a little, the human body may take more than 8 hours since receiving the last food, and that is in the case that the person has eaten something before bed. So, why does it become common to avoid breakfast, or to eat unhealthy foods in the morning?

Among the rush and stress, many of the children do not have time to consume their food before going to school, or in a hurry they are not hungry as they are more concerned about taking the homework and arriving on time before the school doors get closed.

The reality is that it is the children who should have a better breakfast every morning, since their bodies are in the full stage of physical, mental and emotional development, which requires that their body receive the best nutrients, in quantities and just portions that are needed, from high quality and easily absorbed proteins, fibers, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats, which in a balanced consumption will help an excellent development.

A child who has not eaten correctly or who does not receive quality food at lunchtime will probably be a child who has poor school performance, which can in many cases build up insulin resistance, and can be much more susceptible to eating disproportionate amounts of food at mealtimes that may cause him to decompensate.

Mexico boasts the world's No. 1 honorable undisputed childhood obesity and the world's second largest obesity place in adults, just behind our neighbors in the U.S.

Although malnutrition is more present in rural areas and more commonly in the south of the country, and childhood obesity in the northern part of the republic, this does not mean that there are no children who are obese and malnourished, and much of it comes from The bad eating habits that are learned from an early age at home.

Depression is undoubtedly one of the great sufferings that, if present in children, is difficult to diagnose, either because of the confusion of parents with other symptoms or because of the children's lack of emotional maturity and inexperience in expressing the what they feel; Therefore, it is very important to know that it is estimated that 3% of children in the world may become depressed, whether due to problems in school, family problems, divorce, loss of family, etc.

To date there are many studies that associate the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids with the substantial improvement in the effects of depression in both children and adults. Fatty acids such as Omega 3 help nerve cells have a healthy membrane, which helps to better assimilate the nutrients in the blood, and better transmission of pulses and electrical messages between them. It is then that the relationship between the consumption of Omega 3 and the better assimilation of serotonin - a chemical that is a neurotransmitter that regulates various systems in the body - becomes relevant.

Although it would be risky to say that with only the consumption of Omega 3 can eliminate the depression, a feeding with the sufficient quantities of these fatty acids have been shown to be an effective adjuvant in the treatment of this condition, as well as in its prevention in children , Adolescents and adults, and our studies have revealed results as early as the third week of consumption of our nutritional lunches based on Omega 3.

As you may notice, Omega 3 is not only an essential element in good cognitive development, but a good ally in the prevention and treatment of conditions that may be present in our children. At Club Omega Tree we provide food prepared by professional chefs who are responsible for providing the best sources of Omega 3 in our service Lunches for children, with ingredients of the highest quality.
