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

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

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. Eating breakfast can lead to a healthy kid which will decrease sick days where the child may fall behind in school work.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a long standing saying that is believed by most, but is often misconstrued that anything for breakfast will work, which is wrong. Most sugary cereals that children love, are a terrible breakfast, contrary to what the hundreds of commercials try to imply. A good breakfast will incorporate all colors of the food pyramid and will be know as “brain foods” like fruits, nuts, and avocadoes. Breakfast should be something to wake you up in the morning, and give you energy for the first half of your day, not give you a sugar rush that will set you on course for a sugar induced crash

Chapter six discusses the effects of eating healthy on youth and the various ways teachers can encourage a healthy lifestyle. In the chapter, it talks about the importance of eating breakfast (p.181). Today, many schools provide breakfast for students to either purchase or at no cost (depending on their economic status). One way schools can use this as their benefit is to provide healthy lunches. Students are often given chocolate milk, warm frozen waffles, and other not super healthy foods. Schools could provide peanut butter toast, yogurt, or egg cups. These are much healthier choices. This idea doesn’t have to stop with breakfast either. Schools can provide healthy lunches as well.

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

My target area began as a focus on eating more in general. The food available at PSP was not always ideal, many times the food was either unhealthy or there simply weren’t enough options that I enjoyed. As a result, I noticed that my weight began to significantly decline and I desperately wanted to allay this problem. After completing my log sheets over three weeks, I came to the realization that the bulk of my missed meals came in the morning.
