We do not know about you, but us on each parentthe teacher’s meeting said that the child must have breakfast. Otherwise, he thinks badly, and his mood and behavior deteriorate catastrophically. As it turned out, these were not just grandmother's tales. Scientists from King’s College London have shown that the rejection of breakfast can lead to serious problems with the development of the child. As shown by their research, children who skip breakfast do not get enough of the nutrients they need for normal, full growth and development. Yes, even if they later eat from the belly, they dine and dine like a king.

Folates, including folic acid, are responsible for the proper formation of the circulatory and immune systems. If a child does not get enough of these substances, he or she is highly likely to grow up to be a sickly and stunted adult. Iron deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia. If this happens, you are doomed to visit a hematologist, and such a specialist is hard to find. Calcium is responsible for the formation of not only bones, but also muscles, the endocrine system, and the activation of enzymes. This microelement even regulates stress levels. Well, iodine is not only the key to the development of the thyroid gland. Its deficiency can lead to the development of intellectual disabilities. So when a teacher says that a child is not thinking clearly because he or she did not have breakfast, he or she is not so wrong. And one more thing. Parents of girls should be especially wary of this. As the study showed, girls skip breakfast more often than boys. Also interesting:
