ROCK PORT R-II SCHOOL DISTRICT BREAKFAST MENU - APRIL 2015

Protein for Breakfast!

Your body doesnt store protein so it is im-portant to include it in a healthy breakfast. It takes your body longer to digest protein, so it makes you feel full longer, and it has a more gradual effect on blood sug-ar. Protein is essential for growth & development of every part of your body. You can get protein from eggs, meat, milk, cheese & yogurt.

Nutritional Building Blocks ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants help protect your body from damage caused by free radical mole-cules. Some free radicals help you digest

food, and turn food into energy, but having too many causes damage to healthy cells, creating health problems including disease and aging. Excess free radicals can come from sun exposure, pollution, stress, and high-fat foods. You need enough antioxi-dants to stabilize all the extra free radicals in your body. Antioxidants come from vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables.

1. China produces 90% of all fireworks in the world.

2. Gunpowder was invented in China and used for both fireworks and weapons in the ninth century.

3. Italy invented the aerial shell and also made fire-works colorful. Bright col-ors are created when dif-ferent metallic powders are burnt within fireworks tubes. For example, cal-cium produces orange, sodium makes yellow, and barium makes green.

4. The hardest color to cre-

ate is blue, which is done with copper oxidizers. The temperature of the reaction has to be just right.

5. The record for the most firework rockets launched in 30 seconds is 125,801.

6. According to the Ameri-can Pyrotechnics Asso-ciation, U.S. consumers purchased 163.6 million pounds of fireworks last year alone and fireworks displays used another 23.1 million pounds.

7. Walt Disney World con-sumes the largest amount

of fireworks in the U.S. per year.

8. 10 people every year lose their sight permanent-ly as a result from fireworks injuries.

9. Sparklers, which are of-ten considered the safest firework, burn 15 x the boil-ing point of water. Thats 1,500 degrees! Three spar-klers burning together gen-erate the same amount of heat as a blow torch.

10. The word for firework in Japanese, hanabi, actually means fire-flower.
