Breakfast, the power blend…
The crisp Fall weather is a great reminder to slip out of our more casual summer routines and get in gear for the school year that’s under way. There is one routine that can provide us with the clarity and focus to start each day as our best selves; breakfast. In fact, studies show that children who eat a healthy breakfast score higher on tests and overall, do much better academically!
Developing brains need meals and nutrition on a regular basis to function. Skipped meals can affect a child’s ability to learn, behavior, and physical health. Yes, food does so much more than keep our bodies healthy, it also feeds our mind! Many food ingredients can have the opposite effect, leaving one with “brain fog”, feeling irritable, and the inability to focus. When we nourish our bodies with healthy, balanced meals, our brains can function at its best. But how can we fit breakfast in when its often the busiest time of day while trying to get everyone out the door on time?
