School Children And Breakfast

When your child goes off. to
school each morning, make sure
that he is fortified with a good
breakfast,:;Dr. Joseph G. Molner,
City-County. Health Commissioner,
advises. Eating a.good breakfast
as a mean of helping to make a
better school record is backed by: a number of studies. Students
- who had a good breakfast turned

out more work, were quicker in
their reactions and did not tire
as easily as children who came to
school witnout breakfast.

Your breakfast should contain
one-fourth to one-third of the entire food requirements for the
day. A good breakfast should
include fruit, milk, cereal, breadwhole wheat or enriched-and but
ter or~ margarine. An egg should
be included three to five times -a
week. Either a hot drink or a hot
dish should.,be included. Breakfast can beiemade an appetizing
meal and have more variety than
the average breakfast provides.
Teenagers need more food than
children or adults because their
rate of growth is faster - for
them an egg five times a week
is desirable.

Even in families in which the
mother works and must leave
before the children have breakfast advance planning can provide for their needs. With fresh
fruit or an open can of fruit juice
in the refrigerator and with milk,
bread and softened butter and a

choice of: cereal, even a very
young child can manage his own
breakfast on a ~do-it-yourself~
basis. The secret of success here

is that there must be prior plann-.'

ing to have the food in the right

place and the child properly in-.

structed.
Dr. Molner says, ~A hungry
child cannot learn as well as

he should and is at a disadvantage in his relationship with
others, so send him to school with

a good breakfast eaten without.

rush or tension.~

Even for adults who are on
reducing diet, three well-balanced
meals are necessary. A_ wellbalanced adequate breakfast is a
help for those who are struggling to lose weight.
