Breakfast literally means breaking the fast that starts from the earlier night s dinner.
Breakfast should never be missed, least of all by children, as it an essential energy source for the body. Research shows that a good breakfast can make children alert and attentive throughout life, whereas breakfast-skippers tend to develop deficiencies of protein, calcium and other micronutrients. A good breakfast is also connected with improved performance in school and growing brainpower. Therefore, the breakfast habit can build the foundation for a lifetime of good health. It can also provide for some good family time.
