This puts your body into starvation mode, your body fears that you might not be able to eat for a long time so it saves it energy and holds onto your fat cells. • By choosing to eat breakfast your metabolism gets a kick start, burning more calories throughout the day and giving you energy.
TRANSITION: If helping keep your body stress free isn’t enough to make you want make to make the time eat breakfast then what I’m about to tell you will!
MAIN POINT 3: In general people think eat more, weigh more; but eating breakfast can make you weigh less! • Meals matter website, eating breakfast helps weight loss; retrieved October, 26, 2011, states eating breakfast can aid weight loss and control your weight. Like I stated earlier, When you skip breakfast your metabolic rate slows down which causes your blood sugar to drop. When your blood sugar drops you become hungry and energy-less. This is setting yourself up for snaking, usually unhealthy snacks that are high in fats and sugars; or you could over eat at lunch/dinner. • A Nielsen’s National Eating Trends survey, meals matter website, retrieved October 26,2011, showed that women who consumed cereal regularly weight nine pounds less than women who didn’t, While men who ate breakfast weight six pounds less than men who chose not to eat breakfast. • American heart Association
During my three-day food intake I learned about myself. There are many benefits of good nutrition. ”Medical Online” states “besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its system to function optimally for a lifetime.” A healthy diet promotes good sleep, gives the body what it needs to stay healthy, and provides energy. According to “Mealtime Memo” Good nutrition means getting the calories that we need for energy and the nutrients we need for proper growth. I’m learning that variety, balance, and moderation are the key to healthy nutrition. As I am learning what I should and should not eat I will like you to invite you to take a look at my food intake. This essay will converse about my
Breakfast was eaten right after getting up in the morning. It was normally a small meal made up of cold foods like leftovers, eggs, or bread and butter. "But since breakfast was by definition eaten early, those who did not rise early did not eat it."
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Who here didn’t have their breakfast this morning? I bet most of you did. I used to be one of those too until last month when I did a research on Biology and by chance, came across a fact about how important breakfast is. I believe that as soon as you heard the topic, you will assume that I am going to give you a life lesson as your parents do. “Breakfast is the most essential meal” is spoken by every mother, yet the reasons why we should eat breakfast have never been clarified more clearly and seriously. The following speech will highlight that breakfast is required for three main reasons; first, it helps improve our grades; second, it controls our balance diet; and more importantly; it can promote
Some say breakfast really isn’t that important. Stronglifts.com states that, breakfast is not healthier people who don’t eat breakfast are usually the ones who don’t exercise and grab a doughnut on their way to work, eat junk food at noon and a big dinner in front of the TV. This can be true but, some other breakfast foods can be unhealthy also not just a doughnut. Daron Taylor claims that, “If English citizens suddenly began to eat a traditional English breakfast every day, one that comes in at a whopping 855 calories with over 2,000 grams of sodium, the United Kingdom would most likely be facing a monumental national health crisis. The author doesn’t explain why, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. NPR’s Allison Aubrey claims that “a breakfast of just this kind of sugary cereal is not the way to start the day.” What the author fails to consider is that some people don’t have the money to go eat a healthy breakfast each day.
The importance of a healthy breakfast cannot be underestimated. A child who is undernourished in the morning will not be functional for her class until lunch. Also, schools can act as supporters of positive, healthy behaviors by offering nutritious breakfasts such as fruit and yogurt, versus the fast food breakfasts some adolescents might grab, if they get breakfast at all. Many school districts are beginning earlier and earlier in the day, and students are simply not hungry enough or do not get up early enough in the morning for breakfast, leaving them starving by 10am. Being able to grab breakfast in study hall can thus prevent many potential academic and nutritional problems.
A common idea presented to everyone at an early age is the importance of breakfast and that skipping it can have dire
It would serve nutritious and energizing food before school begins so that kids who rushed out of their house and forgot breakfast or they didn’t eat enough at home and are still hungry, still get a good start to their day. Breakfast is a very important meal and all kids should have the opportunity to get it. An article written by http://health.usnews.com shows that “Kids who eat breakfast on a daily basis are 20% more likely to graduate”. When kids miss breakfast, they become more distracted during the day then kids who eat breakfast and as a result have better focus. In a class survey of 52 seventh graders, conducted on February 28, 2017 at SVMS, showed that 40% of kids feel they would benefit from a breakfast program. Eating breakfast helps kids feel more satisfied throughout the day and not want to snack as much which helps them to not consume as much fast food. A breakfast program would benefit lots of people and help them have a better start to their
Lack of nutrition can cause children to not perform well in school. Eating breakfast can help students perform well in school by giving them energy and helping them focus. With breakfast, kids are healthier and happier. Kids who eat breakfast have been shown to attend more days of school and achieve higher scores on math tests. Kids that come to school hungry have problems in school. They have lack of energy, poor academic performance and inability to concentrate. They aren't able to focus on their schoolwork or interact with their teachers and classmates. Kids that don't eat enough can result in low academic achievement. Hungry
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Quit the idea of waking up late, preparing in rush and running out with a doughnut in one arm, you need time for your breakfast.
More women being employed who are more conscious of eating breakfast in the morning, passing this down to the children.
(TRANSITION: In the first portion of my speech, let’s take a look at how breakfast can help improve the body’s metabolism.)
In the brochure Runner’s World stated: 78 percent of people who lost more than 30 lbs. and kept it off ate breakfast 7 days a week. (Statistic)
As scholars are constantly reminded to eat a healthy portion of breakfast before testing, most scholars find themselves wondering, “Would eating breakfast really improve my performance?” According to many psychologists, consuming breakfast may have benefits in performance, but to an extent. However, some have also deduced that breakfasts may also harm the performance of scholars. Nonetheless, scholars who eat a healthy breakfast seem to have higher energy levels and ability than those who did not because of the nutrients consumed and absorbed by the body and mind. Consuming breakfasts would have beneficial effects on learning, to an extent; however, the different types of breakfasts could also have detrimental effects as well. The goal of this research is to determine not if breakfasts improve academic performance, but by how much? In addition, to the fact that there are possible “side effects” to this method of improvement, which leads to ask, are all breakfasts healthy? Scholars eating breakfast in order to improve performance may be possible for academic performance. However, if scholars believe and reason over the fact that eating breakfast does improve academic performance, then the effects of school behavior would be tested. Consuming a breakfast does provide nutrients for the body and mind. However, the nutrients provided could only benefit the body and mind to such a limit. Then, there is also the
The second part of the issue is that most college students looking to lose that weight rely on skipping breakfast as an easy way to diet.
Breakfast has long been perpetuated to be the most important meal of the day. It provides the necessary energy that one needs to perform during the day. Skipping breakfast can lead to exhaustion, extreme hunger, and lack of focus. The importance of breakfast cannot be overlooked, but the nutritional value of one’s morning meal is equally important.
