Proper Nutrition for Children Performing on Stage and in Film

When a child is actively rehearsing, participating in filming and performances, the load on the body increases significantly.

It’s not only physical activity but also emotional stress: nervousness, responsibility, public attention, and a tight schedule.

Emotions and stress consume just as much energy as physical exertion.

The eating schedule is just as important as the content of the diet!

It is best to organize meals at the same time every day — this helps the body produce gastric juices on schedule, which means:

  • food is digested better

  • vitamins and minerals are absorbed more effectively

  • everything unnecessary is eliminated without lingering in the body

An irregular schedule leads to digestive problems, poor absorption of proteins and carbohydrates, and the accumulation of toxins.

What Should Be Included in a Young Performer’s Diet?

  • Slow carbohydrates — porridge, potatoes, whole grain bread

  • Complete proteins — meat, fish, eggs, legumes

  • Vegetables and fruits — a source of vitamins and fiber

  • Healthy fats — nuts, avocado, a bit of butter

  • Water and electrolytes — essential every day

Water or Isotonic – What’s Better During Training?

Plain water restores hydration but does not replace the salts and minerals lost through sweating.

Isotonic drinks are special beverages whose composition is close to blood plasma. They help:

  • Quickly restore fluid and electrolyte balance

  • Prevent overexertion

  • Reduce the risk of cramps and headaches

  • Maintain endurance

For children, it's better to choose natural or homemade isotonic drinks — for example: water + a bit of honey + a pinch of salt + a little lemon.

About Vitamin C — Simply the Essentials

Vitamin C isn’t just “for colds.” It is necessary for proteins in food to be properly absorbed.
Without it, the body cannot fully build new cells — including muscle and immune cells.

If there is a vitamin C deficiency:

  • Proteins are not absorbed

  • Muscles don’t recover

  • Internal destruction begins (the body “eats itself”)

  • Exhaustion occurs even with proper nutrition

Nutrition Is Part of Success, and the Body Is the Artist’s Instrument

Regular meals, routine, hydration, and vitamins — it’s not just about health.
It’s about confidence on stage, energy on set, and joy in the process.
