Skipping breakfast robs concentration With our hectic lifestyles, breakfast becomes the meal that many people don’t eat. Children leam their eating habits from their parents, so they may also skip breakfast. There are lots of important rea- sons Why children (and adults!) should eat breakfast, _ An immediate benefit for break- fast eaters is decreased irritability and behaviour problems in class, Eating a good breakfast helps even out blood sugar levels which helps improve iheir attention span, 7 Long-term benefits of cating breakfast seem to include a lower risk: for being overweight. This flies in the face of the commonly held belic£ that skipping a meal _will help people control their weight. In fact, meal skipping makes us overcompensate later on. This is why breakfast skippers seem to have a hard time controlling eve- ning binges. To make matters worse, those extra calories consumed Sate in ‘the day are more likely to be stored as fat than calories con- sumed during the first half of the day. Worse yet, skipping breakfast robs you of energy for exercise! So breakfast skippers actually tend io eat more calories and/or store more fat than breakfast eaters. Overweight adults have a greater risk of developing heart disease and diabetes, plus they have to deal with societal prejudice. Give your kids a head RE start from these problems by in- stilling good breakfast habits, Ideally, a family should sit down and eat breakfast together. But we can’t all be the Waltons. The following ideas can help you break your fast: Breakfast should include foods chosen from at least three of the four food groups: * Milk, yogurt, or cheese. * Toast, bagel, cereal, or other grain foods. | « Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or alternates like peanut butter. * Fruit, juice or vegetables, Typical breakfasts like’ juice and cereal with milk fit the bill nicely, but don’t feel stuck in choosing them. A slice of cold pizza, rice pudding with peach slices, "egg-burgers" with juice, or a bow! of beans with a glass of milk will work. And how about leftovers from supper? Quick snacks for breakfasts on the run (or on the bus!) include a muffin with cheese and half an apple; a hot dog bun spread with peanut butter with a pecled banana inside; yogurt with pineapple chunks and rolled oats Nutrition Notes by Gerry Kasten stirred in; deli‘ meat ‘on whole ‘wheat. crackers and a-tin of V8 juice; or an extra half a sandwich, Use your imagination! If your kids all seem to arrive for breakfast at different times, let them choose their own meal from a breakfast buffet with cereal, fruit, nuts, dates, raisins, and yogurt, Keep everything in a tray and top it off from day to day. Some kids just can’t face the prospect of eating first thing in the moming. For them, try a shake made with milk, frozen fruit, and a dollop of yogurt. Then send them out the door with some crackers. Eggnog (made with raw eggs) shouldn't be used because of a slight risk of salmonella. I hope this helps get you to start the moming off on the right side of the breakfast table! As for the lunch bag blues, maybe breakfast will prevent the gnawing hunger that leads to many complaints. I£ not, call the Skeena health unit.
