"What Did You Have For Breakfast?"
Why is eating a good breakfast so important? Let's
find out. What did you have for breakfast? Nothing?
Sweet roll and juice, donuts and coffee. Or bacon,
eggs, toast with jam, juice, milk.
What you eat for breakfast determines how you feel most
of the day. The body produces energy from the amount
of sugar in your blood from breakfast. Eating only
carbohydrates products (donuts, sweet rolls, juice)
are nothing but sugar and is quickly used. If you eat
some protein and fat along with it, it will be digested
more slowly, keeping your energy high longer.
When your blood sugar is low, you feel hungry and weak.
Lack of sugar affects the nerves and brain, thus your
thinking becomes slow, confused, and you're grouchy,
irritable, and moody.
If your blood sugar level is high, you feel good and
function better. You have no desire to eat. Your
sweet tooth is satisfied.
Protein, carbohydrates, and fats have to be combined to
give you that high sugar level.
Milk, bacon, and eggs are good sources for your
breakfast protein. Orange juice, bread, and jam are
good carbohydrates. Butter, bacon, and eggs are also
fat sources.
Too many carbohydrates (sugar) forces the body to
produce too much insulin from the pancreas. This
causes the liver and muscles to withdraw sugar and
store it as starch or fat.
So too much sugar defeats the purpose for which it is
intended-to produce energy. Fatigue then sets in.
Remember, children have the same requirements. They
need a good breakfast to function best in school.
