🥦 FUELING OUR CHAMPIONS: A GUIDE FOR PARENTS 🥊
Support your child’s health, focus, and energy — one meal at a time!
At Champs, we see your children’s hard work — whether they’re boxing, doing fitness, or just moving for fun. Every child is unique, and every step counts. 🧠💪❤️
But to help them feel strong, focused, and full of energy, we need to look at what they’re eating outside the gym, too.
⸻
✅ THE GOOD STUFF: FOODS THAT HELP KIDS THRIVE
These foods build strength, balance energy, and improve focus (especially for kids with ADHD):
• Lean proteins: Chicken, eggs, fish, lentils, beans, mince
• Whole grains: Brown bread, oats, whole wheat pasta/rice
• Fruits: Banana, apples, oranges, grapes, berries
• Veggies: Carrots, spinach, cucumber, broccoli, peppers
• Healthy fats: Avocado, peanut butter, olive oil, nuts*
• WATER! The best drink for energy, focus, and hydration
*Allergy note: Only if safe for your child
⸻
❌ FOODS THAT DRAIN ENERGY, FOCUS, AND MOTIVATION
These foods can lead to tiredness, mood swings, and weight gain — even when kids train hard:
• ❌ Sugary drinks: Coke, Oros, energy drinks, iced tea
• ❌ Fast food: Fried chicken, burgers, vetkoek, pies
• ❌ Snacks: Chips, sweets, biscuits, sugary cereal
• ❌ Processed meat: Viennas, polony, slap chips
• ❌ Constant snacking: Especially at night or on junk food

💬 A GENTLE REMINDER TO OUR INCREDIBLE PARENTS:
We know parenting is tough — and busy!
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving your child the best chance to succeed — in health, focus, and confidence. 🌟
Please help us help your child by encouraging:
• Better lunchboxes 🌯
• More water 💧
• Less sugar and takeaways 🍭🍟
• And more fresh, colourful food 🥕🍌
Together, let’s raise stronger, happier, healthier kids — one meal at a time.
