01 Feb The Case for Eating Breakfast for Teenagers
If you have a teenaged child, you’re probably familiar to the sight of them rushing out of the door without having the most important meal of the day. Some kids grab a toast while others don’t even bother with that. This can lead to lack of focus, low energy, weight gain, poor skin, and long-term health problems.
Teenage years are already challenging, so adding problems caused by poor breakfast and nutrition is the last thing a child needs.
Lack of Sleep is a Common Cause
Most teenagers are naturally inclined to sleep late. They study, complete their homework, work, or consume entertainment until late hours of the night. This makes it challenging for them to wake up in the morning. Teenagers also need more sleep than adults, which means early morning classes can cause more exhaustion. Most students are just too tired to consume breakfast.
Breakfast Is Essential
Kids at this age burn through a lot of energy quickly. They are often physically active and require constant mental focus for studies. A good breakfast provides them the energy needed to accomplish all of their tasks. They’re more energetic, focused, and less exhausted at the end of the day.
Breakfast also helps curb overeating and ensures children maintain a healthy weight. Children are still growing and need essential nutrients to reach their peak potential. Breakfast provides that.
