Health Scoop
Eggs- is an inexpensive protein that has large amounts of amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Research proves that incorporating eggs into your child’s diet can improve their brain concentration, help with behavioral issues, raise test scores and improve math and reading skills. Additionally, eggs are great for a child’s eyesight, bones, hair and skin. (I highly recommend spending the extra buck on organic dairy products. Non-organic dairy products could contain hormones which, could be dangerous for you child)
