Proper nutrition and cognitive development with Dr. Giorgio Donegani

On November 22nd, at the Leone XIII Institute, we had the privilege of hosting Giorgio Donegani, a Food Technologist and expert in Nutrition and Food Education. With anecdotes and expertise, the professional guided the parents, teachers, and coaches present through a journey on the importance of the synergistic connection between nutrition, sports activities, and developmental stages. Dr. Donegani emphasized how a proper diet, tailored to the different phases of growth, can positively impact the physical and cognitive development of young individuals, especially when coupled with adequate sports practice. This event marked the beginning of a three-year collaboration between the Jesuit Education Foundation and Pellegrini SPA, actively involving the Leone XIII Institute, Leone Sport, and the Schuster Center. The focus of this collaboration is centered around the harmonious growth of young individuals. The next meeting is scheduled after the holiday season, during which we will have the opportunity to interact with our students and distribute a simple communication tool in support of food education.
