You can start hardening at any age. But the sooner, the healthier and more stable the child will be. Hardened children look great, they have a good appetite, good sleep, they grow quickly and rarely get sick. Hardening can begin even in the first days after birth. True, after consulting with a doctor. If the baby is healthy, you can carry out various air or water procedures with the help of a shower and rubdowns. The main rule of hardening is the constancy of procedures and a gradual increase in their intensity. If you stop at the same level of load - for example, pour water on the child constantly with water of the same temperature without lowering it, or douse it rarely, for example, several times a month, then there will be no effect from such hardening. The next important point is that hardening is only effective when cold water is poured over a warm, heated child. After all, if the baby freezes and his hands and feet become cold, the water that is poured over him will seem almost warm, and the result of such “hardening” may be just the opposite. The most difficult task is to establish the first load for the baby. It should not be weak, because then it is not effective, and it should not be excessively strong, stressful, since it is known that stress suppresses the immune system, and we are faced with the opposite task - to strengthen it

"Energy-fast" foods (raisins, bananas, honey, jam, glucose, candy, chocolate, sweet biscuits, as well as rice, bread, sweet corn, potatoes, beans) are best consumed before exercise; moderate-speed foods (pasta, oats, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, grapes, orange, oatmeal cookies) that increase blood sugar levels - immediately after exercise; and "low speed" (milk, yogurt, ice cream, apples, plums, grapefruit, dates, figs and legumes) even later.
Let's make sure that physical education and sports are not the same thing. Studying for yourself or studying to get medals are completely different things. The common thing in these two concepts of “physical education” and “sport” is what means are used for this, mainly physical exercises and games.
They differ in setting goals: they do physical education to be healthy, and sports for the sake of achievements, results, victories. Physical education is aimed at correcting physical defects, and sport is aimed at developing physical virtues.

With high physical exertion, it is desirable to use 5-6 meals a day. Such nutrition is more physiological. The first breakfast is 5%, the second breakfast is 30%, additional meals after training are 5%, lunch is 30%, afternoon tea is 5%, dinner is 25% of the daily calorie content. The volume of food should not be too large: for 70 kg of body weight from 3 to 3.5 kg of food per day. Fruits and vegetables should make up 10-15% of the diet.
If you've done a good physical job but haven't eaten for 5 hours, your blood glucose levels drop so much that exercise becomes excessive. If there are no obvious painful sensations, it still negatively affects endurance and the ability to concentrate in the process of exercising. Try to eat within two hours of finishing class. If exercise suppresses your appetite, grab a high-carb snack as soon as possible. Here are a few dishes that are perfect for this: oatmeal cookies, fruitcake, pasta with vegetables, fish or chicken, baked potatoes with low-fat seasoning, boiled rice and sweet corn salad, fruit salad with oatmeal, vegetable stew.

Carbohydrates are digested at different rates, so blood sugar levels can rise slowly or quickly.

The starch contained in potatoes, bread and rice gives up its energy slowly, and the simple carbohydrates contained in jam, honey, fruits, juices quickly.
