Back to School Tips: Keeping Your Child Brain Sharp Through TCM

School is back on, and the kids are out of the door! In the classrooms, children are often curious and energetic, busy learning about the world and asking a million questions. We can help to provide a healthy environment, where their bright minds and appetite for learning are highly encouraged. Below are some recommended TCM herbs and supplements that will support your child's development in staying sharp and healthy.

1. Start the day right

The way to ensure a good day is to start with a good breakfast. In between scarfing down pancakes, bonding over quick conversations and getting school bags packed, get your little ones to have a bottle of Power Up! Concentration. Produced especially for children, it is packaged in small, 42g bottles of 100% pure chicken goodness. This Singapore-only formula will provide a burst of energy for your children to tackle the rest of the school day. It is also the only Essence of Chicken in Singapore that does not contain caramel colouring, flavouring, salt and preservatives.

2.Stock up healthier snacks

Children are always hungry and are excellent at hunting for snacks in the kitchen before their main meals. Besides nagging at them to lessen their intake of these undesirable sugars, consider filling the cupboard with different viable options so they can actively choose natural, healthier snacks.

Eu Yan Sang's premium wolfberry is a premium quality product from Eu Yan Sang. It contains vitamins B, B2, C and betaine and is known to help nourish the Yin, enrich blood, benefit vitality and improve visual acuity. Best of all, this yummy snack does not contain preservatives, artificial flavouring or colouring. Place a couple of packets in the refrigerator to have a tasty and healthy treat at the ready!

3. Protect the eyes

Even without work, children often have to juggle a lot of commitments, think lessons, homework, project work, socializing and so on. Even without the restrictions placed by Covid-19, a majority of these activities take place online, or with the use of electronic devices. Eye fatigue and myopia are common issues that children face, which affect their performance.

To protect their eyes and maintain healthy vision, consider introducing Eu Yan Sang Eye Max Boost. This specially formulated supplement combines the best therapeutic ingredients from the east and west with ingredients such as wolfberry extract. It supports healthy eye microcirculation. Taking regular breaks also helps lessen the chances of eye strain or myopia developing. Importantly, it gives their brains a chance to rest and reboot, which helps encourage bursts of creativity and problem-solving skills!

4.Encourage various outdoor activities

In terms of outdoor activities, school-going children are often limited to co-curricular activities as well as physical education lessons. You can encourage them to indulge in new activities on the side, which offers a change of scenery and pace. Science camps, hobby groups or running clubs are an opportunity to expose them to new skills as well as broaden their opportunities to new people and situations. This in turn develops different parts of the brain and helps to build a well-rounded child.

5. Get plenty of sleep

It is easy for the stress of school work to affect even the most happy of children. When rushing work or studying for exams, children are often up late at night, leaving them less alert, more easily distracted during the day and at risk of missing out on lessons and activities.

Getting forty winks is crucial to a child's development, it gives them the time and space to process what they've learnt throughout the day. Intermittent sleep and mood fluctuations caused by fatigue can be improved by consuming Eu Yan Sang's Sleep Formula to calm their nerves and give them a good night's rest.
