About the benefits of hot food
Numerous factors influence the state of human health. One of the most important is nutrition.
Modern scientists have found that the main nutritional disorders are: an excess of carbohydrates and fats of animal origin, a deficiency of vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as a violation of the diet, lack of hot food.
Adults need to remember: children school age should eat 4-5 times a day, hot food should be present in the diet. Students should consume at least two liters of liquid per day - soups, fruit and vegetable juices.
The basic rules of nutrition: variety, moderation and timeliness. It is very important that the child has a full breakfast, that he has a hearty lunch at school, that he has an afternoon snack around five o'clock, and dinner a few hours before bedtime.
Breakfast is the most important and basic meal of the day - much better than a bun or a sandwich; they allow the child to replenish his energy reserve, because from 4-6 hours of being at school, the child loses a lot of calories. Also, observations have shown that at school, in a team, the child eats with appetite. High-calorie hot breakfasts ensure long-term performance of schoolchildren and have a beneficial effect on their physical development.
The school menu includes cereals, pasta, dairy products, meat, fish, salads, fresh vegetables, tea, compote. It should be noted that the high mental load of schoolchildren leads to an increase in the need for vitamins and microelements. If the food lacks vitamins, then the child may suffer from vitamin deficiency. His memory and performance deteriorate, the growth process is disrupted.
School food products are rich in vitamins, which are involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts; stimulate the growth of the body; improve the protective properties of the skin, affect the activity nervous system, in particular on the cerebral cortex; regulate tissue respiration; the activity of the nervous system.
Lunch is the second most important meal of the day. Better than soup there can only be soup for lunch. Boiled, soft and lean meat is useful for a child. Also in favor of the soup is the abundance of vegetables, which ideally should be about five types, and the fact that this is a dietary and healthy dish for the stomach. Eating only the second course does not cause sufficient separation of gastric juice, food long time lingers in the alimentary canal, undergoes fermentation, irritates the mucous membrane. Moreover, any food should be not only freshly prepared, but also warm. Heat is always an additional source of energy, and it doesn't matter where it comes from. And in winter hot food- it helps the body in self-heating.
At school, for lunch, children can be offered borscht, pickle, vegetable soup, as a second course, it can be cutlets with a side dish (porridge, mashed potatoes), goulash with a side dish or steamed fish dishes. Be sure to serve a vegetable salad with the main dish, most often it is fresh cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, and, of course, children are offered to drink hearty lunch tea, compote. Such a menu will help the child save energy for the second half of the school day.
Many years of experience in observing doctors and teachers has shown that students who do not consume hot food during the school day get tired faster, more often complain of headaches, fatigue, stomach pains, bad taste in the mouth, Bad mood and reduced performance. In addition, according to statistics, stomach diseases among school-age children rank second after diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Hot meals in the school cafeteria are designed to solve the problem of adherence to the diet. So that the student does not have breaks between meals for more than 4 hours, which is very harmful to the child's digestive system. In a word, more and more facts speak in favor of compulsory hot meals for all schoolchildren during their stay at school.

Class hour progress:
I. Conversation about healthy eating.
Guys, today at class hour we will talk with you about the most important things for our body, without which human existence is impossible - we will talk about nutrition.
Food, food, nutrition…. We say these words quite often. What is nutrition?
Nutrition provides the most important function of the human body, supplying it with the energy necessary to cover the costs of life processes.
Is there a connection between nutrition and health? Which?
So, proper nutrition is an indispensable condition for good health, high performance. And improper nutrition significantly reduces the body's defenses, leads to premature aging and can contribute to the occurrence of many diseases, since a weakened body is susceptible to any negative effects ... Numerous factors influence the state of human health. One of the most important is nutrition. Even in ancient times it was known that proper nutrition is an indispensable condition for a long life. Modern scientists have found that the main nutritional disorders are: an excess of carbohydrates and fats of animal origin, a deficiency of vegetables, fruits and berries. As well as a violation of the diet,lack of hot food
... According to the research data of the endoecological center, the content of vitamins in the body of schoolchildren is normal in 10-12% of children; deficiency of one vitamin - every third; lack of two vitamins - every second; deficiency of three vitamins - in every tenth child. To eliminate eating disorders (60% of guys don't follow it
), adults need to remember: school-age children should eat 4-5 times a day, in the diethot should be present
nutrition
.
Children need a balanced diet, low-fat, non-fried, preferably stewed and boiled dishes.
Hot food in a person's life has extremely essential... Many years of experience in observing doctors and teachers showed that students who do not consume hot food during the school day get tired faster, more often complain of headaches, fatigue, stomach pains, bad taste in the mouth, bad mood and decreased performance. The student's nutrition should be balanced. .
Healthy eating rules
1) Observe the diet! Eating at certain times improves the functioning of the digestive system.
2) Eat varied! The variety of nutrients and vitamins ensures a balanced supply of essential nutrients to your body.
3) Chew food thoroughly! Chewing prepares food for passage through the gastrointestinal tract. Shredded food is easier to digest.
4) Don't overeat! The digestive system cannot cope with an excess of food; food is subject to fermentation and decay, the body is poisoned.
5) Take your time while eating! The duration of the meal should be at least 20 minutes with one dish and 30-40 - with two. This is how satiety is achieved without overeating.
II... Explain the proverbs game
He who chews well lives a long time.
Appetite comes with eating.
Moderate food intake is the mother of health.
From the table you need to get up with a slight feeling of hunger.
Dinner is not needed, it would have been lunch.
Buckwheat porridge is our mother, bread is our breadwinner.
You see that people thought about health in ancient times, and proverbs are folk wisdom.
What prevents a person from being healthy?
(bad habits, a sedentary lifestyle, poor ecology, unhealthy diet ...)
No single food provides all the nutrients you need to maintain good health. Some products give the body energy to move, think well, not get tired (honey, buckwheat, rolled oats, raisins, oil); others help build the body and make it stronger (cottage cheese, fish, meat, eggs, nuts), and still others - fruits, vegetables - contain many vitamins and minerals that help the body grow and develop (berries, herbs, cabbage, carrots , bananas).

8) What vegetables do you grow in your gardens?

Vi. Closing remarks.
Guys, you must remember - all food is necessary for human health, and if some people exclude food from their diet, they are harmful to their health.
And I want to add that porridge is primordially Russian dish... Special cereals were cooked in honor of anyone significant event(at the birth of a child, at the conclusion of a peace treaty with the princes). Porridge is the most suitable breakfast dish. It contains a large amount of nutrients and is easily absorbed by the body. Buckwheat porridge is very useful. Further porridge from oats, rice. Semolina porridge is the most high-calorie product, it must be eaten before a test, competition or hard work.
Good health is one of the main sources of happiness and joy for a person, his invaluable wealth, which accumulates slowly and with difficulty, but which can be quickly and easily lost. Accumulate and take care of your health, learn from the people around you: do what you love, spend every minute of your life meaningfully, for the benefit of yourself and others! Be healthy!
I would like to end with a quote from L.N. Tolstoy: "If people ate only when they are very hungry, and if they ate simple, clean and healthy food, then they would not know diseases, and it would be easier for them to control their soul and body."
A business that is built on the basic needs of a person always brings good profits when the right approach... Hot meals are no exception. Modern man since childhood, he spends most of his life outside the home. Kindergartens, schools, children's art houses, sports clubs, enterprises and offices - any institution where people stay for a long time should create conditions that are comfortable for eating.
Previously, there were buffets in schools, in which breakfasts were organized for schoolchildren. On large enterprises established their own canteens with full-time chefs. Today the situation has changed radically. The provision of catering services in various institutions is increasingly being outsourced.
This means that the first persons commercial company, the director of the plant or the head of the educational center can enter into an agreement with a company that provides services for the organization of hot meals. Moreover, the options for implementing such a task can be varied, for example:
- Creation of a full-fledged dining room full cycle within the territory of educational institution or businesses.
- Delivery of hot meals to offices by prior order. In this case, an agreement can be concluded with a specific customer for the supply of a certain number of meals during the specified period. The second option is accepting orders from employees of the office center and delivering food on demand.
- Hot food kiosks on the territory of an enterprise or office complex.
- Self-service vending machine for various types of food, such as sandwiches and hot coffee from a thermos.
To provide such services, you need to carefully work out a business plan that will include equipment costs, menu development, product costs, competitor market analysis, available distribution channels and the cost of an advertising campaign.
The hot food business is quite well developed in the country, so the competition is very high here. It takes a lot of time to process all permits for this activity. An entrepreneur's job is under strict control government agencies... But the demand for such services is consistently high. To be successful, you need to find your niche in this market.
Organization of school meals
Providing hot meals for children preschool institutions and middle general education schools Is one of the largest areas that a food business can develop.
A complete, balanced meal is the key to a successful mental and physical development child, so today, not only in kindergartens, but also in schools, hot meals are a prerequisite for the work of the institution.
However, it is rather difficult to conclude an agreement on the provision of lunches for educational institutions. This is due to the fact that baby food is strictly controlled by government services for the quality of products and compliance with technological standards for preparation, storage and transportation. Suppliers usually participate in a competitive selection, as a result of which the leader who won the tender for hot meals for a particular school enters into an agreement and begins his cooperation with the educational institution.
Another nuance of working with government applications for providing educational institutions with hot meals is that the winner, as a rule, wins the one who offered the minimum cost. In this regard, business is often based, in this case, not on quality, but on volumes that bring profit. The menu for schoolchildren is strictly regulated, so sometimes it is simply impossible to keep within the given parameters of price and quality.
Those who decide to develop their business in this direction need to acquire good equipment, go through the control of the sanitary service, which will check the quality certificates of products, the conditions for their storage, preparation and transportation. Required condition- Availability sanitary books from workers.
The mark-up for hot meals for schools is small, as the budget allocated for it is limited. But the volume of supplies quickly compensates for the small difference between the cost and the final price of such a product.
This activity can become one of the directions of an existing business and can provide a stable income throughout the year.
Organization of corporate catering
Eating in the office is a great opportunity to get a good income even for small firm or a budding entrepreneur. Such a business can be developed in 2 directions. The first option is to become a regular supplier of meals for a particular business. In this case, the menu is agreed in advance. Lunches are delivered to the company at a certain time in the amount specified in the contract.
The second option is to advertise yourself using handouts (flyers, business cards, leaflets) and electronic promotion methods (website, social networks, contextual advertising), addressing their advertising messages to office workers. This is the main the target audience and a source of revenue for the hot food delivery business.
The organization of activities requires the availability of space for cooking, agreements with wholesale suppliers of products. The equipment must be modern and operate in the "automatic" mode. Hot food must be delivered using a special thermos built into the machine, or packed in special containers that support temperature regime... For couriers, you can purchase a bag with the properties of a thermos. The cost of the final service depends on the choice of the menu and the cost of transporting meals.
Arranging hot meals at school is paramount in ensuring the normal growth and development of the child's body. And the main thing is that food products are of high quality, that is, natural.
The list of products for a balanced diet must include:
- Natural milk;
- Eggs;
- Vegetables;
- Fruits.
The work of the whole organism depends on how correct and balanced the child's nutrition will be, and this is important, since in childhood there is a formation of organs and systems. After all, the child needs vitamins and minerals. Providing everything children need is a state task.
In schools today, special nutritional standards have been established, because schoolchildren need not only to satisfy their hunger, but also to give the brain an opportunity to get enough. Indeed, for normal immunity, for the supply of oxygen to the brain, high-quality and regular nutrition is required.
Organization of catering in schools
Today, school principals can not clutch their heads, solving the problem of how and what to feed schoolchildren. For example, our company - "FOOD kids", has long earned an excellent reputation and is a reliable supplier of food. The organization of hot meals at school is our strong point. Long-term work of the company's specialists has earned positive reviews regular customers... We supply only fresh food to educational institutions.

- orders are made by affordable prices, which can be afforded not only by large state educational institutions, but also by small schools. It is our duty to provide all children with proper nutrition.
Any adult who is involved in the upbringing of a student understands that important point is the organization of hot meals at school... It is clear that a child should not receive everything at once in one meal. The law of nutritional balance means that children get protein one day and calcium the next. Thus, in a week, the developed menu will provide the child's body with everything it needs, and it will receive a full set of vitamins and minerals.
Essential foods for a balanced schoolchildren's diet
It is worth considering the rules for taking products containing useful material which our company adheres to. For example:
- Vitamin A is essential for vision, skeletal system and proper dental growth. Normal levels of this vitamin in a child's body support healthy skin and accelerate wound healing. We offer products such as spinach and soybeans, cabbage and bell peppers as a supplier of this vitamin.
- B1 is a vitamin that regulates carbohydrate metabolism and normalizes the state of the nervous system. This vitamin is especially necessary for those children who are subject to great physical and mental stress, that is, schoolchildren. Great content vitamin is found in rye bread and potatoes, lean pork, peas and salmon fish.
- B2 - the growth and development of the child depends on it, since the vitamin helps to release energy from the food that the child takes. In addition, it allows you to strengthen the nervous and immune system... You can replenish the supply of this vitamin by regularly consuming foods such as salmon, milk, cottage cheese, Rye bread... Young cabbage also contains a lot of vitamin B2.
- For a child to actively develop cellular energy, it is necessary enough level vitamin B6. It promotes the renewal of blood and its saturation with oxygen, which, in turn, is necessary for the nutrition of the brain. Many foods, such as liver, rye bread, contain this vitamin, and regular use of them will help fill the lack of it in the body.
You can endlessly describe the necessary products, the use of which helps to raise vitality and strengthen immunity. And all of them help to improve mental abilities and strengthen the nervous system of children. Thus, in order for development to proceed in accordance with the norms, the child must receive all the necessary components daily, in an amount sufficient for his age.
Food preparation and delivery
Professional organization of hot meals at school is the direction in which our company operates. We are fully aware that above all the health of children, therefore we offer the most useful and delicious dishes prepared by the best chefs. And as practice shows, such nutrition increases the working capacity of children. And when children gather at one table, their cohesion occurs, which creates a healthy psychological environment.
Since the food that our company offers is healthy and complete, unlike fast food, it was noted that schoolchildren stop getting sick and get in good physical shape. More and more leaders school education contact us for cooperation. And this is not only because of the desire to provide children with a high level of performance, but also because it is economically beneficial.
It is clear that it is quite easy to provide a child with proper nutrition at home, but at school it is much more difficult. Our company, being a leader in corporate catering, offers different kinds catering, including the organization of hot meals in schools. For example:
- Organize a canteen on the school grounds, where students can eat only the freshest food and refresh themselves during the school shift.
- Deliver ready-made meals prepared by our chefs and specialists to school the highest level... All dishes are prepared with only fresh ingredients. We deliver food in special boxes designed by manufacturers to transport hot food. A buffet is organized and there meals are distributed to schoolchildren.
- We can prepare the selected dishes in our workshops, and then, at the appointed time, special couriers will deliver hot meals to the school, where the distribution of dishes to schoolchildren will be organized. This is the most economical option for organizing hot meals for schoolchildren.

Today, many parents, when choosing a school for their child, pay attention to how the educational institution organizes meals for children.

And our company will do everything possible to provide children with nutritious, balanced nutrition, tasty and healthy.
