Is Your Teen Overweight? Does S/He Eat Breakfast?
Breakfast, as you know, is the most important meal of the day. And this is even more true should you be on a quest to shed a few pounds. Not only does that first meal get the ol’ metabolism firing on all cylinders, it reduces the likelihood of you pigging out later in the day when your blood sugar levels plummet. You’ll also function better cognitively… making that raise you’ve been waiting for all the more likely!
But breakfast isn’t just a necessity for adults and dieters. With recent studies showing that the rate of obesity in adolescents aged 12-19 has tripled in the last 20 years, it’s more relevant than ever to highlight a study that showed that teenagers who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight.
