EAT BREAKFAST IT IS COMPULSORY


Often is heard this recommendation from pediatricians, teachers, nutritionists, ... or simply we have this experience. Why do we have to cover our needs well at this moment of the day, whatever our age is?

Breakfast is the first intake we make after a number of hours of fasting. And we need carbohydrate reserves to meet our activities throughout the day. When we got up, these reserves in a healthy individual are not covered.

What should we eat?




Current recommendations state that breakfast has to be composed of milk, cereal and fruit. Also the variety in food choice is important.

Also, breakfast (including a mid-morning recommended but optional) to cover 30% of the energy of the day. It is important to eat a good breakfast, always.

We put forward some examples that illustrate this need so basic that can determine, without realizing it, our activity, performance and effectiveness of it.

The "back to school" is a good time to introduce children-and all the family in this habit as healthy.
This recommendation is outstanding in children and adolescents is extensive literature showing a direct correlation between school performance and proper nutrition in children and adolescents, and a good nutritional status.
