Breakfast– It really is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it give you energy to start a new day, but breakfast is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance. According to the American Dietetic Association, children who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom and on the playground, with better concentration, problem-solving skills, and eye-hand coordination. Further, those who skip breakfast actually slow down their metabolism, hence decreased energy and concentration, and send their bodies into ‘famine’ mode, which begins to actually store fat instead of get rid of it! A breakfast high in protein, whole grains, and fresh fruits not only allows our bodies plenty of good vitamins and minerals to kick start the day, but also gives our system a more gradual release of energy so we maintain a more refreshed feeling as the day wears on. Studies also show that we make better food choices throughout, as we do not need to feed a sudden onset of hunger and want to eat everything in sight. Don’t have time at home for breakfast?? The ISB Cafeteria serves an array of healthy breakfast choices starting at 6:30am-9:30am Mon-Fri. Apart from the Grind, the Main Serving Stations are dishing out Organic Omelets, Continental selections, the Sandwich Bar is open, and of course everyone’s favorite Kao Tom (rice soup with choice of meats and/or tofu) is made from scratch daily. Families Welcome. Enjoy.
