You probably have heard about the importance of eating breakfast many times. In fact, lots of studies show that. Eating breakfast can give you the energy (能量) to start your day, help keep your heart healthy, slow down your aging process, and help you keep in shape. Sadly, some students skip (跳过) breakfast for different reasons.

A healthy breakfast should include foods from each of the four main food groups. Start with whole grain food, like a bowl of noodles or bread. Add some fruit or vegetables, like an apple or a banana. Or try beans with tomatoes. Then add some protein (蛋白质)— meat and nuts are good choices, or an egg. Finally, go for some milk. Yogurt and cheese are also OK.
The next time you are thinking about skipping breakfast, think about how much better your health (and day) can be if you just eat your breakfast. Set a challenge for yourself and begin your breakfast-eating habits tomorrow morning!
