There’s certainly some truth in the statement “Eat breakfast like a king”, especially for kids. Here are some quick tips for getting your little ones the right nutrition they need.
Breakfast is no doubt the most important meal of the day. It kick-starts our day and provides our body and mind with the energy we need for the rest of the day. It is widely believed that students who eat breakfast have improved cognitive functions such as memory and neural efficiency, and perform better in school than those who don’t.
However, a recent SGBreakfast Study conducted by MILO® Singapore on the breakfast habits of Primary and Secondary school children in Singapore revealed that an alarming 12.3% of our local kids aged between six to 12 years old skip breakfast.
The study also shows that the number of students who skip breakfast increases with age (specifically those between 13 to 17 years old), and these breakfast skippers often feel irritable, are tired and unable to concentrate in school.
