Eating breakfast can help you perform better and feel better during your morning hours. Studies have shown that children who eat breakfast are more alert, and work better in school than their classmates who don't eat breakfast. Breakfast in a hurry is better than none at all. If you want guidelines for a healthy breakfast, choose foods from at least three of the four food groups.
Breakfast can be creative.
Breakfast is a good meal to meet your daily need for vitamin C with a citrus fruit or glass of citrus fruit juice. Remember, it's important that you eat something for breakfast to give you the energy you need for morning activities. Don't rely on coffee and doughnuts to get your day started. You've eaten a high calorie breakfast that's low in nutrition. For more information on proper nutrition, contact your local county Extension office.
