The results revealed that 31.5% of those who missed breakfast did not fulfill even the lower recommended nutrient intake (LRNI) of iron compared to only 4.4% of breakfast consuming children.\u00a0About 19% did not fulfill LRNI for calcium, compared to 2.9% of breakfast-consuming children. Moreover, 21.5% children failed to meet LRNI for iodine, compared to 3.3% of breakfast-consuming children.<\/p>\n<p>It was further shown that when the younger children (4-10 years old)\u00a0took breakfast, they had higher folate, calcium, vitamin C and iodine profiles compared to when they missed it. The older children also had a greater calcium profile on breakfast-taking days.\u00a0Overall, those who had breakfast daily had a better nutritional status than those who didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>These findings indicate that breakfast is an important meal of the day, and children should not skip it. The researchers suggested that control of parents on children regarding eating habits at a young age\u00a0is important for their growth and development.<\/p>\n<p><em><i>Source: <\/i><\/em><em><i>British Journal of Nutrition<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_shutterstock_507278326.jpg\" alt=\"1mg\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[216,78,259,123,202],"class_list":["post-28348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1mg-news","tag-childcare","tag-children-diet","tag-die","tag-healthy-eating","tag-vitamins-minerals-nutrients"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
