Why Breakfast is So Important, Especially for Teens

Parents are always harassing teens to tell them what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat, and how to eat. Despite this, studies show that over half of all male teens in America, and over two-thirds of female teens do not eat breakfast daily. You have probably been told before that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this is correct, but we will tell you why.

Thinking quicker – Breakfast will help you too think faster and clearer. You can more easily process and solve problems after a good morning’s meal!

Improved memory – Without breakfast your body lacks glucose. Glucose is needed in brain function and without it your memory will suffer. If you eat dinner, it is a good 12 – 14 hours before lunch the next day and by then your brain is suffering significantly. Without glucose your body is forced to use protein and fat as an energy source in your brain, which is not nearly as useful as glucose.

Happier mood – Breakfast improves your mood which also contributes to your studies. Being in a happy mood improves your general health. Also, with eating breakfast it is much less likely that you will suffer from depression. Because you have better cognitive function and think you are smart it may increase your self esteem which helps avoid conditions like depression.

Out-smart – Because most people don’t eat breakfast, if you immediately start eating breakfast and improving your cognition you can out-smart the majority of the teen population.

Eating breakfast can help your grades go up in school due because you will have a longer attention span and will be able to obtain more knowledge. Also, adults who eat breakfast will find it easier to lose weight. Overall the small amount of time and effort required to make and eat breakfast seems a small price to pay for the great results of significantly improved cognitive function, and mood.

4 Foods That Have an Unexpected Amount of Sugar.

Some foods and drinks pass themselves off as being healthy, but what most of us are unaware of is the ridiculously high amount of sugar most of these contain. Try to think of some of your favorite “healthy” snacks and look to see if they are really as healthy as they say they are. Some might be telling the truth, but you may be quite surprised about which of these foods and drinks have an unexpectedly high level of sugar in them.

Vitamin Water – You’d think that vitamin water would be filled with vitamins and other nutrients to help keep your body healthy and full of energy, but what you didn’t know is that some vitamin water, like Snapple’s Antioxidant Water may have over 30 grams of sugar.

Breakfast Bars – Breakfast bars are healthier than a doughnut in the morning, but they are nowhere near as healthy as they market themselves to be. Some of these breakfast bars have 13 grams of sugar in one serving. And just because they say organic doesn’t make them any healthier. Make sure you really pay attention to what and how much you are putting into your body.

Bran Muffins – Eating a bran muffin every morning seems like the healthy thing to do right? Well you’d be surprised. Sure there’s fiber in that muffin, but some muffins can contain 20 grams of sugar in them.

Bottled Iced Tea – If 8 ounces of Coca-Cola has 26 grams of sugar, then having some iced tea would be a much healthier choice right? Well, you’re partly right; yes it is healthier, but not by much. 8 ounces of Snapple Lemon Iced Tea contains 24 grams of sugar.
