What a question! Of course, they do. Why, then, most kids do not get it? And what are the consequences for them? In this article, I take a closer look at these questions are so important for the future of our children.
Children definitely need to have both
Adults need proper, healthy breakfast to get your day off to a great start. Children are growing, so they should need it even more urgent. And they do. Let’s first look at why.
children have very important work to do. They have to grow up. They have to go to school and learn the skills that allow them to grow into happy, healthy and productive adults. It is a bigger job than any of us adults do.
It stands to reason that they need the right fuel to be able to do their job. As far as the physiological aspect is concerned, it is obvious that a growing body needs high quality nutrients in the right proportions within the prescribed time. If young their bodies do not get it, their growth will slow; they’ll be prone to disease and never be able to perform as well as they could on what they choose.
This is true not only for breakfast but also for other meals during the day. Breakfast has a special focus, however.
Children eat early, normally at about 6pm. Breakfast is the first chance increasing fuel their bodies are certain after a break of 12 to 14 hours when they ran largely empty. It allows them to catch up and set the tone for the day.
Skipping breakfast is simply not an option what your child’s age. It is not even an option for you. If they skip breakfast, their first proper meal would be lunch. This means that they would be running on empty in 18 hours! You can not do it in your car, so why should you want to do it to your child?
There are some pretty hefty benefits start the day with a healthy breakfast like to skip. Studies have shown that healthy eating breakfast regularly, first of all
- improves their mood and reduces irritability, and therefore
- improves their behavior.
- It also reduces hyperactivity.
This allows naturally happier children in school. The more university proper breakfast helps our children learn better and with less effort because it helps improve
- attention span and concentration,
- mental performance, their ability to solve problems, and
- their memory.
Getting started regular healthy balanced meal in the morning has also shown to reduce
- lateness
- absence, and
- visits to the school nurse.
All this will obviously help our children perform better on tests, make school a more pleasant, happier experience for them, and set them up for life with good eating habits and working methods. In my book, this is a pretty good return to ensure that they have the right balance breakfast each morning.
What Is A Healthy Breakfast?
A healthy breakfast, for our children and for us, need not be anything unusual. It is simply nutrients start the day:
- Make them drink a glass of water as soon as they get up, and then
- give them all grain (not just all meal ) bread and butter
- eggs
- glass of milk,
- some fruit or
- glass of freshly pressed orange juice, or preferably both.
Or cook porridge with a twist. This will provide a nutritious, balanced breakfast and definitely help them to keep them off snacking which is both traditional breakfast porridge with a twist will provide the vitamins, minerals, proteins and slow release carbohydrates they need.
Children who have such start their day will be well on their way to achieve three important goals
1. meeting their daily nutritional needs
It will provide them with significant important trace elements as well as macro-nutrients: vitamins C and D, calcium, iron, fiber, carbohydrates, protein and fat. This is very important also for older children moving into puberty and adolescence. Nutritional them explode as they swap bodies of their children for adult ones.
2. not suffer from overweight
Studies of 9 to 12 years has shown that breakfast with a low glycemic index (low GI) – that is, all grain bread – along with protein keeps them satisfied much longer. Children eat more standard breakfast that has a high GI (white bread / toast, sugar corn, etc.), getting hungry much faster, snacks more often and have more problems controlling their weight now and as adults.
3. Create Good Store Of energy for the day
This takes us back to the advantages that we have already seen in a healthy breakfast of skipping breakfast. These benefits are short-term (for day of school), medium term (to help them perform better and get better grades) and long term (to create good habits and work habits for life).
