These vitamins are 20-60% higher in breakfast eaters compared to skippers (Adolphus, Lawton & Dye, 2013). Not only is eating breakfast essential in supplying the body with the energy required to get through a day and linked to boosting a child’s concentration, problem-solving skills, it can improve mood and lower stress levels and performance in school enhance academics. Breakfast also restores glucose levels, an essential carbohydrate needed for the brain to function, and children have a higher glucose metabolism compared with adults (Adolphus et al., 2013). Therefore, children who eat breakfast regularly tend to weigh less than breakfast skippers. When children skip this meal, the body goes into fasting mode raising the insulin, which then …show more content…
Obesity having too much body fat and overweight is having an abundance of body weight for a specific height from fat (CDC, 2013). Nutrition-related chronic disease levels are rising in the children’s population and may be occurring because of skipping breakfast. Consequently, abstaining from breakfast associated with weight control for girls proves that breakfast skipping correlates with being overweight and children who avoid having breakfast have increasing rates in fasting insulin levels, higher cholesterol, and larger waist extremities than breakfast consumers (Mullan et al., 2014). Nevertheless, evidence suggests that obese children experience more behavioral problems in school while internalizing low self-esteem, sadness, acting withdrawn, as well as externalizing problems arguing, fighting, disobedience, and school discipline problems detentions and suspension (Carey, Singh, Brown III, & Wilkinson). Therefore, obese children are more susceptible to repeat a grade in school and are more likely to be absent more days from school than their normal-weight peers. And this will negatively impact academic performance in children who fast from eating
