Is Breakfast Really That Important?

Greetings!

Now that school is back in full session I have received several requests from parents asking me if breakfast is really that important for their teenager.  The answer simply put is YES!  Here’s why.

The number one reason is energy level. Whether a child or adult your body needs glucose in order to perform at maximum level. In “Single And ApParent” I expound on this important basic need in more detail.

Healthy food really is fuel for your child’s body including their brain. If your child’s body is not properly fueled at the beginning of the day it is literally running on nothing which will first and foremost affect their concentration.  Regardless of age, their body will set off an alarm usually indicated by growling of the stomach followed by a feeling of sluggishness, and by mid-morning a child’s body is virtually maxed out. Think of how you are affected as an adult when you skip breakfast even though you have a higher tolerance level.

Knowing these facts will help you ensure your child’s day begins with a nutritous meal regardless of their age. Start that healthy habit early on and never part from it, it will therefore become a habit for your child too!

Can you guess the number one influence over whether or not your child eats breakfast?  The first 2 people to answer this correctly will receive a signed copy of “Single And ApParent”!  Let me know!

Good luck!
