We have already talked in previous blogs about what are the Omega 3 fatty acids, why to consume them regularly, and preferably from the most natural and easily assimilated sources such as fish called "blue" and some seeds and vegetables, but today We are sharing five of the most important reasons for including Omega 3 in the daily diet of children and adults.

1. Helps people with depression. Depression is one of the most common ailments today, and Omega 3 creates antidepressant effects by consuming it regularly.
2. It is complementary in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Being considered a "healthy fat," it effectively helps to lower "bad" cholesterol, triglyceride levels, the risk of thrombosis and in some cases reduce blood pressure.
3. Excellent aid in the treatment of schizophrenia. As an important part of the elements that make up the brain, Omega 3 can significantly help improve the response to treatments with patients, and in some cases the symptomatology has decreased very rapidly in perceptible levels.
4. Reduces pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Omega 3 helps people with this condition to report a decrease in joint pain and an improvement in mobility.
5. It helps to decrease the symptoms of people with lazy bowel. With the help of a balanced diet, Omega 3 can greatly contribute to decrease the general inflammation of the intestinal tract, and to improve the frequency and constancy of bowel movements.

For these and many more reasons, at Club Omega Tree we are committed to delivering the best prepared foods with the highest quality ingredients, all in presentations that cover the daily intake recommendations of Omega 3.

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.

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.

A child who arrives at school with few hours of sleep and without having received adequate food can not learn. This is a common problem in schools around the world, where children often attend classes without breakfast or bad breakfast, and sometimes even without having had dinner the night before, which represents a bad rest and consequently a deficit in Your sleep requirements.

Particularly on the subject of nutrition, how many calories does a child need daily for proper performance? Many international studies, such as the Institute of Nutrition for Central America and Panama (INCAP), report that children between the ages of 3 and 6 need about 1,500 calories per day, and children between the ages of 7 and 12 Require an average of 1,750 calories per day.

The relevant issue is the source from which these calories are obtained. A child who goes to the school store and buys a packet of cookies and processed juice will get about 400 calories with virtually no nutritional support - and will be hungry - so he will try to get home and eat something more substantial without Know that you have already put in your body almost 40% of the calories your body will require per day. This type of habits may be the cause that poor nutrition and lack of food culture has led us to be the country with the first dishonorable in childhood obesity.

Parents should promote the culture of calorie consumption in children, not as a means of terror over non-nutritious foods, but as an awareness of the food our children ingest. A lunch with the right combination of high quality protein, vegetables, vitamins and minerals will help not only the best school preparation, but also the creation of habits that will be preserved in the child's life, helping him achieve a better future.

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

The success that a child can achieve in learning is completely related to the food they receive. A child who does not receive the necessary nutrients when his body requires it will be at a disadvantage compared to those who do. A hungry or unsatisfied child will be one who can not concentrate on studies, and a deconcentrated child will not be able to learn.

Parents face every day the challenge of preparing our children's lunch in schools, which is varied, nutritious and sufficient, with ingredients that allow fast and flashy preparations for children, although many times the time for Cooking or setting up lunches is scarce, just as in the mornings there is often no time to think about what the children are going to bring.

An ideal lunch should consist of fresh ingredients rather than processed and unhealthy food, and should contain fiber, protein, fruits and / or vegetables and of course water or some beverage. One option may be to send them a ham sandwich, some cheese and lettuce and tomato, some fruit and a container of natural water, and avoid foods like Nuggets and other similar super processed and with dubious ingredients, Filled with salt and preservatives, or cookies and processed bars containing refined flours, sugars and unhealthy fats.

If you want to offer your children the best option for a nutritious, varied, sufficient and of course delicious lunch, and without the need to think about what to prepare day by day, at Club Omega Tree we take care of that by delivering daily lunches prepared with Fresh ingredients and with recipes created by Chefs.

We have already talked on several occasions about how important it is to give children quality food, variety and in sufficient quantities at the time they are in school, just at lunch time, but what we should provide to them?

If children receive foods full of saturated fats, simple carbohydrates and sugars, they will probably not have the best results. What if we give them cucumbers with lemon, jams and carrots? Well, although it is not bad, neither will be provided a complete structure.

A nutritious, sufficient and varied menu should include protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and of course some fat (not all fat is bad knowing how to select and use it). That's why at Club Omega Tree we have created a series of menus so that children can receive all the best in their food during school hours, in the right portions, and in amounts calculated to have the best use in the whole physical, mental and emotional way, and with the ease of not having to think about the preparation, the variety, and even the cleaning of the containers. We take care of it.

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.

At Omega Tree Club we are fully committed to our customers to offer the best nutritious, healthy and delicious foods for children to move away from both obesity and malnutrition through our Box Lunches.

During the last 3 decades, the frequency of obesity has tripled among people between the ages of 6 and 19, and malnutrition continues to be more prevalent in the country. 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.

It is to be mentioned that childhood obesity brings to the lives of children. Risk factors for multiple chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels are related to obesity. Schools have a shared responsibility with parents to help prevent obesity, promote physical activity and healthy eating through healthy and nutritious policies, practices, supportive environments and options that help children get What your body in physical and mental development needs, in the recommended amounts, and with the best quality ingredients.

Of course behind Chris Froome there is a whole team, the best providers of devices and bikes, training for hours, and many other elements that help this athlete to reach the best places and times, and within it is their food.

Chris Froome shared a photo of what he had for breakfast, which shows the type of food that a very high performance person consumes during competitions, with a low sugar menu but high in protein and healthy fats like avocado that provides Carbohydrates as an immediate energy source, eggs from which you will get both protein and fat, and of course salmon that will give that fuel to the cells of your muscles by the amount of high quality protein as well as the fatty acids it contains.
