Don’t Skip Breakfast
Did you know, Kellogg’s cereals start from just that – cereal grains. The grains we make our cereals from include corn, rice, wheat and oats, and can help to provide a nutritious start to the day.
Breakfast literally means “Breaking the Fast”. When you start with a nutritious and balanced breakfast, you’re re-fuelling your body and brain, kick-starting your metabolism and getting the energy you need to help embrace the morning.
What’s more, studies show that people who regularly eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight and have a higher intake of key vitamins and minerals than those who regularly skip breakfast. For these and all sorts of other reasons, nutritionists consider breakfast the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast is too important a meal to be skipped. Nutritionists recommend that breakfast should provide 25% of the daily nutrient requirements. Missed vitamins and minerals at breakfast are often not compensated for in later meals so it’s important to make time for it. Kellogg’s breakfast cereals are quick and simple solutions that require very little preparation.
In the 1940s Kellogg’s was one of the first companies to add essential vitamins and iron to its products in order to help consumers in meeting their dietary needs. Kellogg’s has continually sought to enhance the nutritional benefits offered by its food products. We always select the finest grains, so as to offer consumers the best quality breakfast cereals. Grains are naturally low in fat and provide valuable carbohydrate energy, so it is easy to see why many nutrition experts agree that grain-based foods, such as breakfast cereals, are the ideal basis for a healthy diet.
It’s extremely important for both children and adults to get the best start to their day. Yet while many of us recognise the importance of breakfast and look for ways to make time for it in our daily routines, many people in Ireland skip breakfast regularly and only 12% of Irish families are eating breakfast together.
