A very good morning to our principal, teachers and my fellow students. Welcome to our school Entrepreneurship Day 2018. I am Alex Yong, the head prefect of SJK(C) Sacred Heart Chinese Sibu. This morning, I would like to give a talk titled “Why breakfast is the most important meal of the day?”. Do you all know why? I will let you all know why the breakfast is the most important meal of the day after this, especially for the students like us.
Breakfast is widely recognized as the most essential meal of the day. Children who usually eat breakfast are more likely to have better nutrient intakes including higher intake of dietary fiber, total of carbohydrate and lower amounts of cholesterol and fat (Deshmukh-Taskar et al., 2010). Breakfast also contributes to a large number of micronutrients in our daily intake (Balvin Frantzen et al., 2013). As a nutritionist, Adelle Davis was known in the 1960s: “Eat a breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” (Sifferlin, 2013). unfortunately, a lot of people underestimate the values of the breakfast and many of us have a tendency of skipping this important meal of the day. Students should take a completed healthy breakfast of the daily intake. We all have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because breakfast can make us more healthy, improve our academic performance and can even avoid behaviour problem in the classroom. However, not many of us take it seriously and make it a part of our daily diet.
