Power Up with a healthy breakfast everyday!
¡Elija comenzar un día energético con un buen desayuno todos los días!
Breakfast simply means to “break the fast.” By the time your children wake up, they’ve gone 8-12 hours without something to eat. Many children leave for school without eating. It’s estimated that approximately 8-30 percent of children and adolescents regularly skip this morning meal (Pediatrics, 2015).
There are many good reasons why breakfast is called the most important meal of the day. Breakfast makes a big contribution to both the mind and body. Breakfast eaters are healthier overall. Kids that eat a nutritious breakfast (versus one that includes doughnuts or soda) get the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates their growing bodies need. Studies show that kids who eat breakfast:
1. perform better academically in school2. have improved concentration and focus3. have greater school attendance4. learn healthy lifestyle habits5. are more physically active6. are less likely to be overweight
The Chronic Disease Prevention Programs encourages you and your family to start your day off right and Power Up with the benefits of a healthy breakfast.
1. Be a good role model: make sure you take time to start your day with a nutritious meal.2. Prepare the night before: set the table and place items that don’t need refrigeration on the counter to grab quickly in the morning. 3. Add time in the morning: get everyone up 15 minutes earlier to make time for breakfast.4. Take it to go: pack portable items for kids to eat on their way to school like a hardboiled egg, cottage cheese, fruit, single size low-fat milk or 100% juice boxes, PB on whole wheat toast or yogurt.
Now is the perfect time to make breakfast a priority for your family and start the school year off in a healthy way!

El desayuno simplemente es “romper el ayuno.” Para el tiempo que su niño despierta, ya han pasado de 8-12 horas sin comer algo. Muchos niños se van a la escuela sin comer. Es estimado que aproximadamente que 8-30 por ciento de los niños y adolescentes se brincan la comida de la mañana regularmente (Pediatrics, 2015).
Hay muchas buenas razones porque el desayuno se conoce como la comida más importante del día. El desayuno contribuye a la mente y el cuerpo. Los que comen desayuno, son más saludables en general. Los niños que comen un desayuno nutritivo (versus algo que incluya donas o soda) obtienen las vitaminas, los minerales, las proteínas, y los carbohidratos que sus cuerpos en crecimiento necesitan. Los estudios demuestran que los niños que desayunan:
1. se desempeñan mejor académicamente en la escuela2. tienen una mejor concentración y enfoque3. tienen una mayor asistencia escolar4. aprenden hábitos de estilo de vida saludables5. son físicamente más activos
El Programa de Prevención de Enfermedades Crónicas lo anima a usted y a su familia a comenzar el día bien y a que se “Recargue de Energía” con los beneficios de un desayuno saludable.
1. Sea un buen modelo a seguir: asegúrese de tomar el tiempo para comenzar su día con un desayuno nutritivo.2. Prepare lo más que pueda la noche anterior: deje la mesa preparada y las comidas que no necesitan refrigeración en el mostrador para que esten a la vista.3. Para tener más tiempo por la mañana: despiértelos a todos 15 minutos más temprano para que tengan tiempo de desayunar.4. Prepárelo “Para Llevar”: empáqueles alimentos a los niños que se puedan comer en el camino, como un huevo cocido, requesón, fruta, una cajita de leche baja-en-grasa o de jugo 100%, pan de trigo tostado con crema de cacahuete o yogur.
¡Ahora es el tiempo perfecto para hacer que el desayuno sea una prioridad para su familia y comience el año escolar de una manera saludable!
