Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day, and there are good reasons for that.
Eating breakfast is good for both adults and children in many ways:
Your body is fasting (禁食) during the hours when you are asleep at night. So eating breakfast means you “break the fast” and gives your body and head the energy that they need to work with. Starting the day with more energy means you’ll feel better throughout the day.
A healthy eating habit is important to your health. By eating breakfast, you will feel more pleasant and be less likely to overeat later in the day. If you are trying to lose weight, don’t try to cut calories by skipping (略过) breakfast. Studies show that most people who are thinner eat breakfast every day.
Better at Work and School.
Studies show that adults who eat a healthy breakfast are more active during their workday than those who do not. Children who don’t have breakfast get sleepy at school, have a harder time paying attention, and eat more junk food later in the day. Kids who do eat breakfast get higher test grades and perform better in sports.
Breakfast is a great chance to eat nutritious (有营养的) foods like whole grains, fruits, and dairy products to make sure that you are getting all of the nutrition you need.
A. Good Nutrition
B. Energy for Your Day
C. A Healthy Eating Habit
D. Better at Work and School

There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help your body remain healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.

【推荐2】One of the hardest things in life is sticking to a healthy diet. Experts recommend you plan your meals in advance, so you aren’t attracted when faced with less-than-healthy choices. It’s said that the average American eats almost 25 percent of their daily calories from snacking (零食) alone, and snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity.
Therefore, there are two choices: Stop snacking (hard) or snack healthier (simple). But, for many of us, telling apart what’s “healthy” and how much to consume (消耗) are two different things. But, if you don’t keep the amount in check it can seriously ruin your diet. It’s easy to consume double or triple the amount. If you’re struggling to keep you and your family’s snacking under control, you may be interested in the new online store called NatureBox.com, offering a new service delivered right to your front door on a monthly basis.

【推荐3】Can you resist cream cakes? I miss my sugar! I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.
Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病). It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3,000 cakes a week.
They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal, balanced diet, but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.
And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake” and full of energy.
And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it’s right. No problem there, says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.
I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says：“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
