Breakfast - Your Brain Power
We all heard our moms say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
They were right, so do not skip this very important meal!Scientists showed that those who eat a daily breakfast perform better on the job, at school, and in sports.
When we really think about it, it makes a perfect sense!We eat dinner at seven or eight at night, and perhaps have a bedtime snack.
Since our bodies regenerate during the night, the energy from the last meal is being used up for bodily processes, such as breathing, digesting, cell repair, etc.
When we wake up, our energy sources are depleted so we have to replenish them by eating a nutritious breakfast.
If the body is not supplied with the necessary energy, the brain will not be able to function well, so it will be difficult to concentrate.
The body will respond to low energy levels with shaky hands, sweating, dizziness, weakness, and irritability.
Nobody wants to be sluggish and cranky.
No one wishes to be scolded by his or her boss for not staying at task, or yelled at by a teacher for not paying attention.
You can prevent these situations by eating a healthy breakfast each morning.
No excuses!Grab a banana and a box of orange juice or milk while heading out the door.
Consider these ideas for a breakfast on-the-run: - Cheese sticks with a juice/milk box - Beef jerky - Banana with peanut butter - Cut up apple with peanut butter - Crackers with cream cheese or peanut butter - Toast with cream cheese or peanut butter topped with banana slices Daily breakfast is also extremely important for those who would like to lose a few pounds.
Studies showed that eating breakfast keeps us full longer and prevents excessive snacking.
For the purpose of weight loss, a good breakfast should include protein and some carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates alone will not give the desired results.
In one study, one group of people ate cereal for breakfast and the other group of people ate 2 boiled eggs and 2 toasts of bread.
People who had eggs for breakfast on average ate about 500 calorie less during the day than the cereal eaters.
Whether you are fit and trim, or want to improve your physical image, it is important for you to eat daily breakfast.
By eating a good model, teach your children to develop this good habit.
