eating breakfast also keeps the body fit and keep a healthy weight.
Because the breakfast is the first meal of the day after the overnight
fasting while sleeping, it provides the foundation of nutritional health for
the day, every day and for the immediate future. Because it provides the
energy, nutrients and sustenance for the body right from the start, it
serves as foundation and provides balance for the day, every day and for

needs of the body. This means that the body is able to get a supply of
nutrients at the right time so that it will be able to use them at the right
time too. There is balance. And when there is balance, there is no
mismatching. There will be no excess nutrients which will go unused and
will contribute to excess weight. In other words, eating breakfast enables
students to maintain the right and healthy weight. Healthy weight means
healthy body. Healthy body means sharper mind. Sharper mind means
better grades.
11. Consequences
Skipping breakfast will make students miss the necessary
supply of nutrients and energy needed for the whole day.
They will lack the energy and actually feel it and its
effects. They will not be able to focus their minds well on
the academic tasks they need to do. In the process, they
will get lower grades. Further, skipping breakfast will
contribute to unhealthy body weight. It can be overweight
or underweight.
of Skipping
12. Not eating breakfast is like missing a meal and can be interpreted as
avoiding excess weight. However, this is not totally true. It can make
your weight increase. This is because your will feel the need the make
up for it and actually make up for it. The result is that you are
accumulating more pounds. You are supplying your body with the
energy and nutrients during the time when it no longer needs it and does
not use it anymore. On the other hand, it can also mean that you will
really lose weight. But this weight loss is not the healthy one and it can
be excessive.
13. Healthy Breakfasts
Students should eat breakfasts which are healthy and do
so on time. It is best that you eat them as soon as you
wake up. This may not be a problem because you even
think of skipping it because you have no time for it. This
means you have no time to waste and to delay. So, there
you have it. You should not waste any amount of time and
eat your breakfast promptly. Break the fasting as soon as
you can. The best breakfasts should have some starch and
protein. They are the sources of energy.
14. Avoid sugary foods like toaster pastries and donuts
because they give temporary energy. In as short as one
hour, students who have solely these for breakfast will
already feel hungry and tired. The longest you can hope for
them to last is two hours. On the other hand, foods which
have starch and protein like English muffin and peanut
butter, cheese and crackers, yogurt and toast or instant
oatmeal and fruit take more time to be digested and thus
help students stay full and energised for longer hours.
