Eating a nutritious

breakfast is important for

both children and adults.

Research shows those who

eat breakfast have

improved concentration

and performance. You will

be able to think quicker,

more clearly and with

better memory than

people who don’t!

Breakfast supplies your

body with energy and

keeps your body

nourished to perform

better. It has also been

linked to healthy weight

management. If you eat

breakfast in the morning

you will be less prone to

overeat at lunch and

dinner. Satisfy your

appetite early on and

you’ll tend to eat less

during other meals!
