For kids, mornings can be busy. Sometimes, you do not have breakfast because you do not have time. There are good reasons to make sure you eat a healthy breakfast every day.

    1     After a night’s sleep, your body needs a meal to give you energy (能量) until lunch time. People who do not eat breakfast often have less energy than people who eat a healthy breakfast. If you don’t have breakfast, you will feel tired during the morning.

You need to concentrate on (专注于) the teacher and your schoolwork. If you have trouble concentrating, you will find it harder to learn.     2     This is the most important for students.

    3     This happens because you get hungry before lunch time, and you cannot eat right away. You may lose your patience (耐心) for being hungry.

Every day your body needs nutrients (营养). If you do not have breakfast or any other meal, you might not grow well and stay healthy.

    4     It is a great way to have a good start.

Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat.     1    .

Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body.     2    . Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty (口渴的) — sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Also, stop eating when you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat anything for the past ten hours, your body needs food to keep you going.     3    .

Eat healthy snacks like fruit, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. 

Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute.     4    . This will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.
