Start Your Day Off With A Good Breakfast
By BETTY BARBER
September is better breakfast month. Do you eat an adequate breakfast each morning before beginning the day's routine?
Many children and adults do not eat an adequate, well balanced breakfast. Teenage girls are the greatest offenders of the "no breakfast" group.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It starts the day off right. The stomach needs food after fasting for 12 hours or more, and your system needs energy to work and play.
The basic breakfast pattern consists of fruits, cereal or egg, milk, bread and butter. This basic menu may be varied in many ways by adding meat, jelly or jam or coffee.
United States Department of Agriculture's nutritionists suggest you check the adequacy of your breakfast menus this 3-point test:
1. It should contain protein, vitamins and minerals - materials needed to build and repair the body and help keep you healthy.
2. It should provide fuel for energy.
3. It should taste good.
All breakfasts should fulfill these requirements. How did the one you served your family today measure up?
