Why Students Should Eat Breakfast Every Day
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and is eaten in the morning. It breaks the fast betweensleeping at night and starting the day. A lot of people, especially young people, go through the
day without having breakfast. Many students in our class believe everyone should eat breakfastbefore beginning their work.Firstly, why would you want to go through the day with little energy? Eating breakfast beforegoing to school helps you refuel after a long night's sleep. When you wake up your blood sugar(glucose) levels are low and you dont have any energy. Glucose is a sugar that comes from thefoods we eat and is the main source of energy for the cells of our body.As a result of eating breakfast, students are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Skipping
breakfast is a common strategy for students who are trying to lose weight, but it's usually not asuccessful one. Your body (or maybe your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day, sowhen you skip breakfast you may feel so hungry that when lunch time comes, you over-eat. Wealso know from data collected by the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) that over 90% ofsuccessful dieters usually eat breakfast. (Nutrition Diva: March 2nd, 2011)Similarly, research has shown that students who regularly eat breakfast perform better on testsand in school. As a result, they think faster, more clearly and solve problems more easily. Theyalso behave better and are less hyperactive as they are less fidgety and disruptive than childrenwho skip breakfast.In conclusion, students must eat breakfast every day as eating breakfast will give them the energyto carry out tasks during the day. They will have more energy as their blood sugar levels arestable, they are more likely to stay at a healthy weight and they will do better in their school work.
