Tuesday, May 18, 2010 -

Kids' bodies need to refuel for the day ahead after going without food during the night. Without breakfast, mood and energy drop leaving poorer attention span, concentration, memory and coping skills. In addition, eating breakfast kick starts the body's metabolism, burning calories and giving children the energy needed to participate in physical activities. Studies show that children who eat breakfast consume a healthier diet throughout the day, maintain a healthier weight, have lower cholesterol, perform better in school and activities, and have fewer school absences.
