It is back to school time in much of the world. Calm, easy mornings are replaced with busy, hurried ones. Children wake up early and get ready for school. Many parents are also getting ready for work, helping their children and preparing food for lunches. 1.. But that may be a big mistake for students, Whether at home, on the way to school or at school, eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades.
2.? The answer is yes. Experts at Healthy Children. org say that in the United States about 8 to 12 percent of all students in grade school (Kindergarten through 8th grade) do not eat breakfast. By the time students are in high school ( grades 9-12), 20 to 30 percent of them ignore the morning meal.
3.. This gives your body the energy it needs to think clearly and to remember what it learns. When it comes to giving the brain what it needs to work at its highest level, not all breakfasts are created equal. The best breakfast should include complex sugar that slowly release energy to the body. 4..
A good breakfast is not just helpful for school-aged children. 5..
A.Do many children hate breakfast
B.Some people ignore breakfast to save time
C.Lunches are also important for students’ health
D.Whole grain bread and low-sugar cakes are examples
E.The best breakfast is a combination of sugar, protein and fat
F.Are there really that many children who do not eat breakfast
