At the beginning of the school year, mothers have a lot of thoughts… Riso Scotti Snack solves one of them, providing a perfect snack for the children’s break, to ensure them a varied and balanced diet.

Every mother pays the maximum attention to her children’s diet: ensuring the needed physical and mental energies is a very important element to support them when they study and learn. Obviously, at school and during the periods of intense activity, children need a higher caloric intake: this certainty cannot however deceive parents and gran-parents. In fact, it’s important not to confuse the energy intake with the quantity of fats, especially the saturated and hydrogenated ones. That’s why children shouldn’t eat too much “junk food”, that is often very difficult to digest and assimilate, despite being tasty. Instead, they should eat gratifying, healthy and varied snacks. Breakfast, the break in the morning and in the afternoon are therefore very important for the dietary balance of the day. Because, apart from the two main meals, the breaks affect hunger and habits, and as a consequence they are important for a balanced nutritional intake.

A lot of fruit and vegetables, but even… snacks, provided that they meet healthy dietary rules.

Not all snacks in general are unhealthy: demonizing is wrong; on the contrary, eating a snack in the morning and in the afternoon can provide the correct calories and energy intake allowing not to be hungry at lunch/dinner, with the risk of taking too many calories. The fats used in the production of snacks are essential: it’s better to choose products without hydrogenated fats and with ground rice, that is easy to digest and provides immediate energy. In general, it’s important to read the labels, the nutritional values and the percentage reference intakes (that is, the daily maximum quantity recommended) of the different products – these specifications are compulsory and make labels easy to be understood – eating therefore in a conscious way, trying always to investigate nutritional matters and information – both from a quality and from a quantity point of view – on products.
