Children from 5 to 12 years grow very rapidly and can be very active. A diet providing adequate energy and nutrients is essential for children at this stage.
School children should eat a healthy, varied diet based on the Eatwell Guide and this should be combined with regular physical activity in order to maintain a healthy body weight.
It is recommended that children and young people should engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each day.
