Changes

Improvements in the nutritional quality of students’ diets are associated with academically beneficial gains, but have not been repeatedly and causally correlated to increased academic achievement. Concrete links between food consumption – either at large or in specific foods – and academic performance have not been established, likely because of the complex nature of the variables, the abundant confounders, and the longitudinal design necessary to understand the enduring effects. In general, however, it is clear that consistently eating sufficient quantity and variety of nutrient-dense foods will improve children’s diet quality, and consequentially reduce the potential for the cognitive impairments associated with malnutrition.<ref>[https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1074&context=cpe The Relationship of Food and Academic Performance: A Preliminary Examination of the Factors of Nutritional Neuroscience, Malnutrition, and Diet Adequacy] by Allison Woodhouse and Mark A.
