According to Associate Professor in Nutrition at Harokopio University, Dr. Yannis Manios, the consumption of breakfast is a critical part of children’s’ growth and learning, with evidence suggesting that eating breakfast may strengthen cognitive performance and  improve school attendance and mood.

 “Eating breakfast may help school children stay alert in class so they can learn better,” says Dr. Manios.  “Research has demonstrated that breakfast consumption is positively associated with memory, recall and school attendance, thus enhancing children’s “cognitive performance.”

Furthermore, with improved cognitive performance also comes better school performance.“Breakfast eaters may have better school performance than breakfast skippers,” says Dr. Manios. “Recent evidence has shown that students participating in a school breakfast program had better improvements in math grades and fewer absences than students who did not participate.”
