-- Ensure Eating a Healthy Breakfast

Gold Standard: Eat a healthy breakfast daily


 


healthy breakfast
"Break the Fast" is essentially what our morning meal means.  By the time you get up in the morning, it has probably been 8-12 hours since you last ate.


 


Studies show that both children and adults who have breakfast are better at problem-solving and concentrating.  Breakfast eaters:




  •  Stay alert


  •  Have more energy all day


  •  Have better memories


  •  Have better moods


  •  Can control the amount of food eaten during the day


  •  Less likely to over eat at the end of the day

To start your new healthy breakfast routine, try to include foods from three food groups.  Limit or eliminate traditional breakfast foods like sugar-coated cereals, doughnuts, pancakes with syrup and pastries.  Healthy breakfast choices can include non-traditional foods such as leftover pizza, peanut butter sandwiches, or bean burritos.
