__It is important to eat a healthy breakfast because it helps you be successful during the day__ Have you ever wondered how much eating a healthy breakfast helps you through out the day? I found out that it helps you to be successful during the day. For example, it helps you focus alot more during class. Another reason is it makes you less likely to get sick.The final reason is that it gives you all the energy you need.

Healthy breakfast is important because it gives you energy for a long period of time. Once I went to a sleepover at my friends house. When we started eating our breakfast, she started to pour fruitloops, a type of cereal, into a big bowl. I thought "Wow! Thats alot of fruitloops!" I had museli with dried fruits and yogurt. but my friend poured 2 table spoons of white sugar. Later that day, we played in the playground near our house. She ran out of energy very quickly but I had so much energy left that I was hiper and active during the day. Thats how I know that eating a healthy breakfast gives you energy for a long period of time.

Another reason why eating a healthy breakfast is important is because you can concentrate and get better scores at school. Once, I couldn't finsh my breakfast because I woke up late. my bus was waiting for me downstairs. My first class was math and to make it worse, it was math test day! I couldn't concentrate well and was very restless. When my teacher gave me my math test back, I got 4 progressings. Usually I only get 1 to 2 progressings. That shows me that eating a healthy breakfst also helps concentrate and get better scores at school.

It is also important to eat a healthy breakfast to avoid getting sick. One time,I didn't eat my full breakfast as usual. When I got to school, people were sneezing, coughing, and having headaches. I started the day by reading as usual. But when I got home, I had a really high fever and started to have horrible stomachaches. Usually, my body has enough energy to kill the germs. Since I didn't eat my full breakfast, I got sick. That proves to me thet eating a healthy breakfast helps you less likely to get sick.

It is important to eat a healthy breakfast. It helps you in so many ways during the day like when it helps you focus alot more during class, gives you all the energy you need and makes you less likely to get a cold. I realize that when I eat a healthy and proper breakfast every morning, I feel full of energy and ready to concentrate well.
