23 have researched different treatments used to manipulate the ripening process of fresh produce.3 Freezing can slow down the metabolic activity of fruits and vegetables to maintain peak nutritional quality until the food is consumed. Freezing can also extend the storability and shelf life of produce, thereby ensuring maximum market value. Overall, it is important to understand that frozen produce is a viable option and that it has little to no nutritional differences when compared to fresh produce.2,3 Additionally, frozen fruits and vegetables are more affordable and have longer shelf lives, allowing you to consume them at their peak ripeness whenever you desire. By choosing frozen produce, you can enjoy your favorite fruits and vegetables yearround. References: 1. Smilanick JL. Postharvest Diseases of Fruits and Vegetables: Development and Control.

Does a <strong>Nutri</strong>ent Dense Breakfast Improve School Performance? Written by: Sofie Van Moorleghem From the government to our parents, we have always been told to eat a healthy breakfast to start the day off right. However, does this actually have any scientific backing? Many scientists have sought to answer this question and there is an answer! In almost all the research that has been done, there has been mostly affirmative results to prove that a nutrient dense breakfast does in fact improve scholarly performance. The University of Harvard conducted a study to evaluate students’ performance based of the content in the student’s breakfast. The university divided the students in two groups, one group was serve a healthy, wellround breakfast and the other group did not; the researchers discovered that the children who ate the breakfast, not only had higher grades in total, but were more attentive and had fewer issues, emotionally and behaviorally.1 Overall, they found that as the children in group two were hungry, there was more agitation, behavioral problems, and more distraction. Similar findings were observed in another study with more than 133 students over the course of four months. In this study 2/3 of the students who were eating a consistent breakfast had better attendance, decreased anxiety, and better grades. After these results, more studies were conducted to examine the accuracy of these findings. Similar results were observed in a cohort study that had 835 participants and in a longitudinal study that had 835 participants.2 Both of these studies evaluated if there was a long-term correlation between their cognitive function and regular consumption of breakfast. This was assessed using 24
