...The Benefits of Eating Breakfast Posted by martha on Sunday, August 30, 2009 · 1 Comment No time to eat? Trying to lose a few pounds? Does eating breakfast make you hungry? These are some of the excuses as to why many people skip breakfast. If you are a “breakfast skipper”— you may want to reconsider, especially if you’re trying to control your weight. Here are the top 5 reasons as to why breakfast is an important meal: 1. Brain power Your brain depends on glucose (blood sugar) to function. After not eating all night, you wake up with blood sugar on the lower side. If you skip breakfast, your blood sugar continues to drop. Studies have shown that adults who eat breakfast have better concentration and productivity throughout the morning. Children who eat breakfast have better problem-solving skills, better hand-eye coordination and are more creative and alert. And why, exactly, should we all eat breakfast? Well, it’s pretty simple: Your brain needs nutrients to function. Making it wait until lunch makes it not work at full power. We all understand this (which is why we know we should eat breakfast), but it can be hard to implement. Here’s some science to help change your behavior: 2. Weight control If you skip breakfast because you want to save calories, realize that you may be setting yourself up for failure later in the day. Going too long without eating can lead to a lack of control and distorted satiety signals at your next meal or snack. This can result in...

...Day. It is my privilege to stand here and share with you about “Why Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal of The Day?” How many of you want to be healthy? How many of you find it a challenge to eat healthily because you are always running late!When I was a kid, my mom always told me that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It turns out she was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, not just for nutritional benefits, but for mental benefits as well, and there is no excuse not to eat it. You would be shocked at how many people skip their first meal. According to Adirondack Sports and Fitness, nearly one fifth of adults don't eat at all in the morning and many students don't eat breakfast either. Twenty percent of elementary students skip breakfast and sixty percent of students ages between 9 to 15 skip breakfast. A lot of people, especially children, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they are not hungry or don’t have time for that and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone especially children should eat breakfast before going to school. The purpose of this talk is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for school children. Studies show that eating breakfast everyday is important in maintaining a healthy body weight. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast will also make you less likely to eat high-calorie snacks during the morning. At school, a...

...- People skip breakfast way too often. I’m here to persuade the audience on why skipping breakfast is bad for your health. Introduction I. Open with Impact (Visualization and imagery will be used to tell an impactful story using pathos/emotional appeal. Then state a fact/statistic immediately following the story to persuade the audience using logos/logic.) - We’re getting to those last few weeks of the term; tests piling up and it seems we just have no time for anything but school. Picture this: All weekend long you’re studying for that very important final you have to take on Monday which could easily be your chance to pass the class. You get your good night’s sleep, and you’re feeling great in the morning but you realize you woke up a little bit later than usual. You skip that apple and orange juice on the way out and just head straight to class. You jump straight into the test and halfway through, your stomach starts roaring. You’re starving, you can’t concentrate on the test, you can’t recall any of the things you studied about that whole weekend. You try to finish your test as best you can and you walk out of class knowing you ended up with the grade you know you don’t deserve. II. Thesis statement (Parts 1 & 2) - A recent survey done by the NPD group, the leading market researcher in North America, found that 31 million people choose to not eat breakfast at all. Many people skip that apple and I’m here to tell you about why breakfast can be the most...

...Why should we start school later? We should start school later because there have been studies that reveal students do better if they go to school at 9am. By starting school later we, students, can have time to get ready, we will be in a positive mood based on a soundly sleep, and we will have time to eat breakfast. Getting ready is important to some students. Some wake up around 5am - 6am to fix their hair or to put on makeup. With more time we can get to class early. Without that extra hour we need, some students arrive to class based on over sleeping. If a student come during middle of class they lost the beginning half of the lesson then they feel lost because they were late and they don’t know what the teacher or professor is teaching....

...mother’s house and trek back to Maryland. Normally, days like this are just filled with unhealthy decisions. Food Intake Day 1 Sunday May 18th was the first day I reported my food intake. I read an article posted on the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, reporting “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients that lead to increased concentration in the classroom ("Why You Should Eat a Healthy Breakfast", 2014), sadly, I have an unhealthy habit of not eating breakfast, and this day is no different. My first meal was at 11:30 a.m., for lunch I ate a 12” cheese steak with French fries. Not my most healthy of decisions, but being out of town and having lunch with my family “on the go”; rarely is a healthy intake option chosen. I accompanied my meal with a diet Pepsi ©. For dinner, I was again “eating on the go” as I had begun to travel back to Maryland. I stopped on the way and grabbed a 12” Ham and Cheese Hoagie, bag of chips, 2 bottles of water and a coffee. I had enough to last me the 3 hour trip and I consumed no other snacks throughout the drive. Food Intake Day 2 Monday May 19th, Day 2 of the food intake reporting. I start off for breakfast with a single cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, with cream and sugar. Again, not...

...do to not eating the right things at school. If we supply breakfast and a healthier lunch for children, they would be a lot healthier. This brochure should inform you of the benefits for your children to eat healthier. Congress passed the National School Lunch Act in 1946 to support commodity prices after World War II by reducing farm surpluses while providing food to schoolchildren. By 1970, the program was providing 22 million lunches on an average day, about a fifth of them subsidized. Since then, the subsidized portion has grown while paid lunches have declined, but not since 1972 have so many additional children become eligible for free lunches as in fiscal year 2010, 1.3 million. Today it is a $10.8 billion program providing 32 million lunches, 21 million of which are free or at reduced price. The number of students receiving subsidized lunches rose to 21 million last school year from 18 million in 2006-7, a 17 percent increase, according to an analysis by The New York Times of data from the Department of Agriculture (Sam Dillion, New York Times, Nov. 30, 2011). Some children only get to eat food at school. In Dallas, Newark and Chicago, for instance, about 85 percent of students are eligible, and most schools also offer free breakfasts. Now, some places have added free supper programs, fearing that needy students otherwise will go to bed hungry. Our school systems are the last front of getting our children to eat healthier. Now school lunches are required to have 1/3 of...

...Students wake up very early to go to school, sometimes earlier than their parents. The issue of early start-times for schools may be the reason why students sleep in past their alarm clocks. High schools should start later in the day because then students could get more hours of sleep, students would be safer behind the wheel, and students would actually have an appetite for a nice breakfast and not feel so rushed. To begin with, high school students should receive 8-10 hours of sleep on a regular basis. As far back as 1999, a member of Congress introduced a resolution to make school start times later. Addressing the resolution, representative Zoe Lofgren said, “Over time, sleep deprivation leads to serious consequences for academic achievement, social behavior, and the health and safety of our nation’s youth”. Students who get less than 8 hours of sleep a night were ⅔ likely to get injured than those who do. If you get more sleep, you won’t be drowsy and clumsy. Also, the issue of inadequate sleep for students has been brought to the attention of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They realized that over 40 states had students starting school earlier than 8:30 a.m. There is proven facts that a lack of sleep causes higher rates of obesity and higher rates in motor vehicle...

...A PAPER ON A SAMPLE OF COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH by Laelatul Mawadah 1301068385 I. THEORITICAL BACKGROUND Communicative language teaching (CLT) emphasizes interaction and problem solving as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning English or any language. As such, it tends to emphasize activities such as role play, pair work and group work. It switched traditional language teaching's emphasis on grammar, and the teacher-centered classroom, to that of the active use of authentic language in learning and acquisition. CLT is interested in giving students the skills to be able to communicate under various circumstances. As such, it places less emphasis on the learning of specific grammatical rules and more on obtaining native-speaker-like fluency and pronunciation. Students are assessed on their level of communicative competence rather than on their explicit knowledge. It is more of an approach or philosophy than a highly structured methodology. David Nunan famously listed five key elements to the communicative approach: 1. An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language. 2. The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation. 3. The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on the language but also on the learning process itself. 4. An enhancement of the learner's own personal experiences as important contributing elements to classroom learning. 5. An attempt to link classroom language...

...say that fast foods will contribute to obesity and diabetes. Many people also suggest that eating these fast foods like mcdonalds or subway ect can give you more of a chance of having a stroke and high blood pressure. I would like to know, what are the risks that you will face from eating all these fast food restaurants, and also I would like to know how those health risks can affect Americas daily life. And if people do truly know that fast food restaurants are bad for you why do people still continue to consume their product. Calories are the energy that comes from the foods that you eat. They are in every food we eat. From meat, to vegetables. Calories are the energy that helps keep are body running the way it is supposed to run.

Main factors are your weight and your daily activity level. The more you exercise the more you eat. The average recommended daily calorie intake is 2000 calories. Let’s start off with just the breakfast. We will use McDonalds as an example. There famous big breakfast with hotcakes. It has 1190 calories, 56 grams of fat, 111 grams of carbs, and 2150 milligrams of sodium (McDonalds food chart).

...eighteen year old and fall asleep as a married adult. My husband still believes I married him only for a day off of work and Bob Evans breakfast. The day I got married was a surprise to us all. We ourselves nor our families were expecting the day’s events. My morning started off quite typical as my fiancé and I were deciding on the breakfast he should cook as I was getting ready for work in our little one bedroom apartment. Dustin my fiancé, decided to make french toast while I showered. That is what started it all. After my shower we sat down to eat breakfast, but after the first bite we realized french toast that tasted like a cast iron skillet wasn’t going to work. We were full of jokes 10 years ago, just as we are today. After the epic fail of breakfast, we started talking about our life together, and I said, “Hey, let’s get married.” Of course he laughed at me while asking if I was serious. “Why not,” I said,” We have the rings, we can drive to Virginia and I’ll take the day off of work.” After a little talking and deciding we got ready and had our day planned out. We set off for directions and a quick tutorial from a coworker of my fiancés. Of course they thought we were crazy, but why not? We started our drive to Virginia with smiles on our faces, nervousness throughout our bodies and the growls of hungry stomachs wanting breakfast. After the six hour drive to the Virginia Courthouse, finding our way through the parking garage and the court house, we anxiously...

...Imagine you wake up in the morning and instead of having to take all of that time to pick out an outfit, you just throw on an outfit that is the same everyday; because you didn’t waste all of that time putting together an outfit, you have more time to do something more productive. You can actually eat a healthy breakfast this morning! Then, when you get to school there isn’t a lot of bullying to put you in a bad mood or to distract you from school work. That is how it could be with uniforms. School uniforms give you more time in the morning, lessens the chance of getting bullied, and promotes a better learning environment. The first reason why public schools should allow school uniforms is that it gives you more time in the morning. Most teens don’t eat breakfast because there is not enough time in the morning. Teens, especially girls, tend to use up a lot of time picking out their outfit for the day; if school uniforms were required you would already have a mandatory outfit picked out, that could save students a lot of time in the morning. That time could be used to eat a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast can help you concentrate on school work. So having that extra time in the morning could help you pay better attention in class. The second reason is that school uniforms can decrease the chances of being bullied. A common cause of bullying at school is clothes. When students have such a different variety of clothing bullying can occur. If everybody had the same clothes...
