What Did You Eat for Breakfast?

"What Did You Have For Breakfast?"

Why is eating a good breakfast so important? Let's

find out. What did you have for breakfast? Nothing?

Sweet roll and juice, donuts and coffee. Or bacon,

eggs, toast with jam, juice, milk.

What you eat for breakfast determines how you feel most

of the day. The body produces energy from the amount

of sugar in your blood from breakfast. Eating only

carbohydrates products (donuts, sweet rolls, juice)

are nothing but sugar and is quickly used. If you eat

some protein and fat along with it, it will be digested

more slowly, keeping your energy high longer.

When your blood sugar is low, you feel hungry and weak.

Lack of sugar affects the nerves and brain, thus your

thinking becomes slow, confused, and you're grouchy,

irritable, and moody.

If your blood sugar level is high, you feel good and

function better. You have no desire to eat. Your

sweet tooth is satisfied.

Protein, carbohydrates, and fats have to be combined to

give you that high sugar level.

Milk, bacon, and eggs are good sources for your

breakfast protein. Orange juice, bread, and jam are

good carbohydrates. Butter, bacon, and eggs are also

fat sources.

Too many carbohydrates (sugar) forces the body to

produce too much insulin from the pancreas. This

causes the liver and muscles to withdraw sugar and

store it as starch or fat.

So too much sugar defeats the purpose for which it is

intended-to produce energy. Fatigue then sets in.

Remember, children have the same requirements. They

need a good breakfast to function best in school.
