The importance of varying diets for students health and schooling

The work aims to contribute to the field of educational science regarding how students are affected in school depending on the intake of animal products. Information about the area has been searched on several databases, mainly on Libsearch. The articles from the results were found through the databases Libsearch and Swepub. Results have been excluded if they were not relevant to the purpose or issue of the work, and if they were not peer reviewed. The results show that there are similarities and barriers between the intake of animal products. For example, vegetarians eat fewer meals. Further results also show that the exclusion of meals such as breakfast and lunch affects the performance of students in school. Some vegetarians also seem to think that food without meat is perceived as healthier, later in the text you can read that school lunch is eaten to a greater extent if it is considered healthy. This can thus be a method of reducing barriers between omnivores and vegetarians. Different results are available at the current activity level, but the training capacity could be derived to be equal between omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. It was a challenge to find studies conducted in Europe. Further research in this area is therefore considered necessary, as cultural differences may affect social health, psychological health and physical health. In order to increase the health awareness of students, we believe that education about diets in relation to health should be designed, as there are currently no requirements for teaching about diets in school. We believe that it should be a requirement that the school's physical education teaches about this in order for students to be able to make informed active choices about diet in relation to health. School lunches should also include different diets to reduce social barriers between different diet groups.
