Breakfast is the most important meal for the day and starting the day with a healthy breakfast can give you a sure energy for the rest of the day.
This is why health practitioners encourage us to eat breakfast. Breakfast need not to be a heavy meal, a glass of coffee or milk or tea together with a toast of bread with butter or egg is good enough.
Importance Of Breakfast To Students
- Have you noticed that poor class performers are those who tend to skip breakfast? On the other hand students who eat breakfast can concentrate more in their class and are more attentive over those who do not take this meal.
- Another good thing about eating breakfast is that you tend to be healthier and more energetic.
- Eating breakfast can improve cognitive performance, test scores and achievement scores in students, especially in younger children. According to a study published in the journal “Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine,”
- Eating breakfast regularly may also help students maintain a healthy weight. According to a study published in “Public Health Nutrition,” children who skipped breakfast in the morning were more likely to overeat and have a lower overall diet quality than children who ate breakfast every day.
- Breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast – that’s where its name originates, breaking the fast! Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no petrol!
