Health And Mental Benefits Of Breakfast

Waking up before the rising sun on the morning of the hunt left me feeling groggy with my eyes slow to open and close when blinking. Being extra quiet to not wake up my mother was a main challenge, trying to tippy toe around the cabin and dodging the creaky spots in the floor. Prior to eating breakfast, I began getting dressed. Due to the fact that I was in northern Minnesota, the weather was bone chilling and the wind would seep right through your layers onto your unexpecting skin. Once I had put on my long johns, sweatpants, and long sleeve shirt with a tee shirt on top I began to make my breakfast. I had decided to have scrambled eggs that were cooked to perfection with the yolk golden mixed in with the pure snow white egg white and flakes of pepper sprinkled throughout and toast with butter melted onto the crunchy outside making it soft with homemade strawberry jam spread thick on top.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Who here didn’t have their breakfast this morning? I bet most of you did.

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.

Breakfast was on your own, “loosey goosey,” lasting until the sleepiest person or child appeared on the back porch. Capn’ Crunch was a mainstay. Big George, up at dawn, would fix a cup of coffee and drift off onto the porch or deck to read. Steve routinely drove to the mainland for a daily paper, enjoying his coffee and news of the day. Millicent dutifully kept Jack’s cereal box loaded and handy, waiting on him as she had done for fifty years. Old-fashioned ice trays in the bar, filled and ready were emptied into containers to accommodate the copious amount of liquid everyone consumed. Not wanting to run out of ice, it was necessary to repeat this chore during the day as much as possible.

“In most healthy people morning awakening is associated with a burst of cortisol secretion: the cortisol awakening response” (Clow). This increases the metabolic activity to normal levels to prepare the body for the new day. For this reason most people will report that on days that they have breakfast and day that they don’t they will still get hungry at the same time for lunch. The hunger experienced early in the morning is also a form of conditioning that we have learned through years of eating at an early hour. Now while breakfast food is delicious it can be a rather caloric meal early in the day that sets the average person back in their net caloric intake. With the addition of lunch, dinner and other meals it is largely possible that people that do not exercise will go over their daily caloric necessity.

If he or she has a physical education class, or has an extra curricular sport after school, he or she may not have the energy needed coming from not having the very most important meal of the day. Even if the child is going to recess they need the energy from that first meal.

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?

Scholars eating breakfast in order to improve performance may be possible for academic performance.
