Breakfast means' ”break the fast”, or start eating and drinking
after a period of fasting. Did you have breakfast today ??
Surveys in Hong Kong already show that about one-third of primary
and secondary school students don't eat breakfast every day. The
breakfast skippers are tired and hungry more often in school than
the breakfast eaters, and are fatter, too ! Surveys in the U.S.
show that breakfast eaters perform better academically than skippers.
In short, it's a long time from the evening meal at the night before
to the lunch in the next day, and breakfast skippers' bodies are
like computers without any power all morning ! You need to break
your long overnight fast!
what's a healthy breakfast ? Is it two eggs and sausages with toast
and butter, or dim sum, or greasy or sweet buns with coffee ?? No!
-- those breakfasts have too much fat to be considered healthy !
Although you need breakfast morning, stay away from such a meal
on a daily basis !
Instead, stick to a grain-based breakfast i.e., porridge, noodles,
sandwiches, breakfast cereal, and may be one egg and/or a glass
of milk or soybean milk. Some green vegetables in the porridge,
noodles, or sandwich are a good addition, too. By following these
suggestions every morning, your body will have all the power it
needs until lunchtime.
