They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Who are “They”? And why do they say this?


Well…”They" are those doctors …so it’s probably safe to say that we can trust them. When they say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s because eating breakfast not only provides you with the energy you need for a productive day, but it is also essential to your overall health. While adults need to eat breakfast each day to perform at their best, kids need it even more. Children's bodies are growing and developing, breakfast is important to the growing process. For those reason are why breakfast has been named the most important meal of the day.

Here are 5 tips for implementing breakfast into your morning routine: 

5 Tips for Starting Your Day the Healthy Way

  • Purchase portable breakfast items such as fruit, yogurt or breakfast bars.
  • Get up 10-15 minutes earlier than you usually do in the morning to eat breakfast. Waking up earlier will allow you to make sure you have time to set and eat in the morning. And when you think about it…15 minutes is not that big of a deal, it’s like 1 less hit of the snooze button.

  • Replace drinking a cup of coffee with drinking a glass of milk or orange juice as both are proven to provide natural energy.
  •  Offer kids who don’t feel like eating in the morning,a glass of milk mixed with an instant breakfast drink or a fruit smoothie.
  • Choosing cereals that are 100 percent whole grain and lightly sweetened or low-sugar – no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving, this increases the health benefits of eating cereal. However, you can use fresh fruits to provide a hint of sweetness. 

Always remember… make sure that the foods you are consuming for breakfast are healthy and good for your body and your oral health.
