Don't skip breakfast

Think gasoline prices are high? The cost of not fueling your body in the morning is much higher.

During childhood we were all told time and again that breakfast is one meal not to be skipped.

Now as moms ourselves, it’s necessary to set a good example regarding the importance of breakfast.

It is essential to get the nutrients and vitamins our bodies need in order to seize the day.

While our bodies need plenty of sleep, getting up 10 minutes earlier in the morning to eat breakfast will improve your academic or professional performance more than those 10 additional minutes of sleep. If still short on time, grab a fast break snack bag filled with fruit, cereal, raisins, or granola to ignite your system.

Weight control starts with your first healthy meal of the day.

Miss breakfast? Miss losing pounds.

Studies show that your child’s ability to perform in school is greatly enhanced when a nourishing breakfast is offered at the start of each day.

Concentration, behavior, hand-eye coordination, and of course, energy, are all propelled by ingesting a hearty meal.

As individuals, we need the energy gained from breakfast to enable us to make it through our chaotic days.

As parents, we need to ensure the same is supplied to our children.
