Start the school day right with a "smart" breakfast. It's that time of year again--school is back in session. Getting the kids up, dressed and out of the door can be a real challenge, not to mention finding the time to get them to eat a quality breakfast. It's widely accepted that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school compared to children that skip it. Breakfast is considered by most experts (and the SAB) to be the most important meal of the day. It "breaks" your "fast" from the night before. Breakfast provides your brain and body with the energy it needs to get your day started on the right track, and without breakfast, your energy levels and thinking ability are drastically reduced. Ironically, researchers reported (in a soon to be published issue of the scientific journal Appetite) that children who ate a simple, high-glycaemic response carbohydrate breakfast had a more rapid rate of decline in cognitive function when compared to children who consumed breakfasts that were primarily complex carbohydrates. In fact, the group of children that ate the high-glycemic meals had the reaction time of a 70 year old within a few hours of eating. The other group of children, who consumed the low-glycemic breakfast, had a much lower rate of decline in cognitive function. In fact, their rate of cognitive decline was half the rate of the high-glycemic group! This study underscores the importance of not only eating breakfast, but a breakfast that contains low glycemic carbohydrates. In sum, soft drinks and candy bars are not the body's preferred fuel!

Nutritional Sciences, Stanford Fellow, Scientific Advisory Board Member. "One fifth of your body is made up of proteins, and these proteins all come from your diet. This is why the regular consumption of high quality protein is critical to the healthy development of young bodies. Consider my teenage daughter she's 5' 10" tall almost (178cm) and she was just a little baby not to long ago! That amazing growth is all from protein." Arianna Carughi, Ph.D. |
