Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The demands of the classroom and the learning process can be difficult for students who are hungry. A proper breakfast provides the necessary nutrients to eliminate hunger symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, sleepiness and restlessness. A balanced breakfast ensures that students start the day off right.
Several studies indicate students who eat breakfast:
- Score higher on tests and earn higher grades
- Have better concentration in the classroom
- Have better attendance and less tardiness
- Visit the school nurse less frequently
- Have fewer behavioral and emotional problems
