Breakfast

People underestimate the role that breakfast plays, especially for children. First of all those that do not consume breakfast are twice as likely to be obese, because they will overeat later (most likely at dinner or late night snacking). Eating breakfast balances your appetite throughout the day. In addition to this eating something in the morning, especially something that is nutritious increases cognitive capabilities throughout the day, prevents fatigue, and helps with mood. Children are more likely to excel in school and their social lives. Not enough emphasis is put on eating a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Apples have caffeine in them, ensuring that you get an extra boost of "hello world I am ready to kick ass today." No more captain crunch and poptarts- eat something that will make you feel ready to do anything!
