The Importance of Breakfast for Children

 

Why do Champions eat breakfast?

Because breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Not only does it help your child start his day right, it’s linked to many health benefits such as weight control and improved performance.

 

Break the Fast

The word breakfast is in fact two words, ‘break’ and ‘fast’, referring to the end of fasting since last night’s meal. As your child sleeps, his body goes into survival mode—his metabolism slows down and doesn’t speed back up until he eats again. Chances are, he would be starved even before mid-morning. Eating breakfast ensures that he’s full enough to last him till school break.

 

Break Down Fat

If breakfast is consumed, his metabolism rate speeds up to burn stored fat for energy. It prevents him from being starved and overeating at his next meal. Many studies in both adults and children have shown that breakfast eaters tend to weigh less than those who skip breakfast.

 

Champion Performance

It is also proven that children who eat a good breakfast perform better in school, pay more attention, are more creative, think better and score higher on tests. Increased blood sugar levels also help decrease behavioral problems to ensure that your child feels less tired and is in a better mood to learn and play.

Champion Breakfast

Breakfast contributes key nutrients toward a well-balanced diet, not always available in later meals and snacks—such as calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals. It is best to choose foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber and protein while low in added sugar as opposed to an oily breakfast! Unfortunately, due to hectic lifestyles, parents often find it taxing to prepare breakfast in the morning.

 

Here are some common breakfast options that are nutritious, yet easy to prepare:

  • Bananas with MEGMILK SNOW BRAND Neo Soft Spread on whole meal bread

  • Sliced bananas with yoghurt

  • Oatmeal with fruits

  • High-fibre cereal in milk

  • Jam and MEGMILK SNOW BRAND Neo Soft Spread on wholemeal bread

  • Half-boiled eggs on a slice of wholemeal bread with MEGMILK SNOW BRAND Neo Soft Spread

 

Getting a healthy breakfast on the table is one of the most important things you can do for your child. Do not let them start their day with an empty stomach, or worst yet an unhealthy one. Remember, all champions eat breakfast!
