Abstract
Description
With the arrival of the school year and throughout the entire process of intensive education and school attendance, the child's body experiences stress and a lack of vitamins, which is aggravated by the autumn-winter and spring seasons? At this time, children especially need a balanced intake of vital trace elements and vitamins necessary for the development of a growing organism and the normalization of brain function. Hypovitaminosis contributes to a weakening of attention and a decrease in physical activity, which leads to poor academic results and discipline violations.
