Get a Healthy Start

A healthy beginning of the day

The breakfast is the most important of the day and what we eat in the morning greatly influences our performance in the whole day ahead.

Usually mothers are very particular about their school-going children’ sleeping hours. They realize the importance of a good night’s sleep for better performance at school. But sometimes they can overlook the importance of a good and balanced diet, especially breakfast. Making sleepy and grumpy children eat their morning meal may be tiresome and time consuming but if this healthy habit is developed from an early stage of life, children actually learn to enjoy their breakfast.

When we are going through a stage of life, both of our mind and body are growing. Doctors and nutritionist strongly recommend a wholesome meal in the morning. A few more minutes of sleep is not worth skipping our breakfast for as we must realize that the time spent having breakfast is much more beneficial the extra sleep.

Our energy level is low in the morning and our brain and body need to be recharged so that we are efficient at whatever we do during the day. We need a nutritious meal after when we get-up, so that w are more active and attentive at school etc.

It is proven by a research that without doubt that children who have a wholesome meal in the morning perform better in their studies than their peers who skip breakfast. They are more attentive in class and can concentrate on the lessons in a better way a cheerful disposition and good social behavior is also linked to a healthy beginning.

The children who come to school without eating a proper morning meal or breakfast complain of laziness lack of concentration and usually have an irritable disposition.

Some of our overweight adults and children have the wrong notion that   we will lose our extra weight if we do not have breakfast. But we do not know that when our body is famished, we often tend to overeat when we take our next meal, or in between meals we munch on snacks like chips and cookies, which are high in calories (but of little nutritional value), and in this manner put on pounds instead of losing us.

So it is therefore said that the correct rule is to have a morning meal which will keep us healthy and strong and not add to our obesity. Fresh fruits, cereals, boiled egg, brand bread and a glass of skimmed milk can be a perfect morning meal for a person who wants to lose weight. On the contrary those of us who are underweight can have fried egg, whole wheat bread, butter full cream milk cheese and fruits etc.

Keeping remember in our minds that we must avoid from rich foods like cakes, pastries or paratha, halwa puri, etc. as these foods are high in calories but of little nutrient value and will only make us feel lazy, sleepy and dull, instead of giving our body the nutrients it requires to grow. Canned fruits or juices are not healthy as they have added preservatives and food colours so avoid these too.

We must give ourselves a healthy beginning every morning! Not only will we get all the nutrients required for our growing body, developing, brain and a normal and balanced weight, we will find ourselves as a remarkable improvement s in our performance during studies and sports by having a cheerful person which is the most popular than all.
