4Life Nutrition
Nutrients are substances required by the body to perform its basic functions. Nutrients must be obtained from our diet since the human body does not synthesize or produce them. The foods we eat contain nutrients. Foods also contain non-nutrients that may be harmful (such as additives like some dyes and preservatives) or beneficial (such as antioxidants).
However, food itself contains only raw nutrients. In order for food to be converted into essential nutrients that the body can use, the digestive system, a miraculous system located in every human body, plays an important role.
To build a good nutritional regimen for children, 4Life cares about both factors: food quality (intake factor) and the child’s health and emotions (metabolism factor). On the other hand, the balance of the two factors above is also given due attention.
Fresh Food
The freshest food is the food that has the shortest time from farm to table. We go shopping every day on our own, and there is no food in the refrigerator that has been kept overnight. Frozen food is also not accepted in the 4Life kitchen.
We aim to use ingredients in their natural state such as semi-milled rice, raw sugar, sea salt, traditional fish sauce, and traditional oils like peanuts and sesame…
Safety Food
4Life Kitchen uses food with clear origins. Our chefs select food that is free from growth hormones, pesticides, and food additives. We prioritize natural foods grown using traditional methods. We use ultrasonic washing machines combined with sea salt to clean fresh food, which helps remove dirt and harmful bacteria in every corner.
High-quality Food
Our foods are nutrient-dense, meaning they contain significant amounts of one or more essential nutrients relative to the amount of calories they provide. Seasonal foods, suitable for the soil, are often chosen by us because they have the highest quality at the best price.
Variety Food
We know it is better to get all our micronutrients from the foods we eat as opposed from supplements. Supplements contain only what is listed on the label, but foods contain many more macronutrients, micronutrients, and other chemicals, like antioxidants, that benefit health. 4Life’s menu offers a variety range of food to ensure that children receive all the necessary nutrients, from macronutrients to micronutrients, through their meals.
Diverse culinary styles
We not only diversify our food to ensure that children receive all the necessary nutrients, but we also offer a variety of culinary styles on our menu, including Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Western cuisine. This diverse range of options allows children to enjoy different kinds of food and helps them become more adaptable global citizens. Additionally, by offering a variety of culinary styles, we have the opportunity to educate children about countries, regions, and cultures from around the world.ts and sesame…
Fresh vegetables and fruits
Fresh vegetables and fruits are important for the body’s health. However, many children nowadays do not have the habit of eating them, leading to nutritional imbalances that greatly affect their physical and mental development.
At 4Life, we highly emphasize the importance of eating fresh vegetables and fruits to maintain a balanced diet and has become a colorful world in every meal. Our lessons are designed to help children understand the impact of unhealthy eating habits while encouraging them to experiment with nutritious foods. Vegetables are included in every meal, and fruits are an essential part of breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner. Additionally, pure fruit juice is offered as an afternoon snack.
Happy meal
A healthy diet involves balancing energy intake (anabolism) and expenditure (catabolism). 4Life provides a spacious learning environment designed to be close to nature, with plenty of natural light. The curriculum is based on engaging projects that help children to exercise and expend energy. As a result, there is a natural need for eating to compensate for energy expenditure.
n addition to educating children about the role of food through lessons and weekly cooking hours, 4Life offers a menu rich in family-style cooking methods, beautifully presented to enhance the anticipation of mealtime.
Creating a happy and joyful atmosphere is also crucial for effective digestion. In addition to understanding the role of nutrition, 4Life takes into account the health, psychological well-being, and physical activity of each student daily, allowing us to provide flexible and tailored nutritional solutions and making mealtime a source of happiness for children.
We encourage and support children to complete their own meals without forcing them to do so. Our chefs are always prepared to cook special meals for children needing health care, such as those with stomachaches, toothaches, or fevers, etc.
