Did you eat breakfast today?
Did your children eat breakfast this morning?

Ask someone if they ate breakfast and the answer is commonly “No”. Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, however, it frequently gets overlooked or skipped in the daily lives of individuals and families.

Teenagers commonly skip breakfast and are prey to the many misconceptions about eating breakfast. Often teens think that they are too busy to eat breakfast, teenage girls will think not eating breakfast will help them to lose weight, and/or maintain their figure. Breakfast is essential for improving concentration, productivity, healthier body weight, and lower cholesterol.

To help encourage teenagers (and all) to eat breakfast,
General Mills has launched I <3BKFST
(I HEART BREAKFAST) campaign.

A 10 year study on African American & Caucasian teenage girls created by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study (NGHS) and in partnership with the General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition shows that breakfast cereal eaters tended to have lower waist-to-height ratios, which is an indicator of healthy body weight, lower total cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol.

One of the healthiest breakfast choices in the 10-year study was fortified ready-to-eat cereal, which helped boost the nutrient content in the girls’ diets. The study results identified that tween and teen girls who regularly ate cereal for breakfast – relative to 24 other reported breakfast foods – were less likely to be overweight, had healthier body weights, and lower cholesterol.

“As we look at the results of the study, it’s important to communicate three primary points with girls and their parents or guardians,” explained Susan Crockett, PhD., RD, F.A.D.A., Vice President and Senior Technology Officer, Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition. “First, breakfast is a must for better health. Second, choose foods that will nourish your body and help jumpstart your day. Third, fortified cereal is a convenient, wholesome choice.”

To emphasize the importance of eating breakfast to teenagers, popular teen actress and artist, Keke Palmer, is the spokesperson for I <3 BKFST campaign.

Keke is encouraging pre-teens, teens, and families to take the I <3 BKFST pledge.

Oh, sweet boy. To know you is to love you. While you may not talk much yet, your understanding and receptive language skills has grown tremendously. Even as a very smiley infant (pre-Autism), you would look at people intently and stop smiling or even cry if you didn’t like something about them. Today, this has deepened. When you’re uncomfortable with someone, you back away, narrow your eyes at their gaze, and refrain from smiling or laughing towards them. You won’t hug them or verbally say Hi or Goodbye to them. You express your feelings clearly—it’s a God-given discernment. Your birth and life has been and continues to be a call to action. We have launched, expanded, and are continuously developing programs that are providing aid, counseling, empowerment, job training, support, resources, and so much more to families with special needs and those who are neurodiverse. As we advocate for others, we will always prioritize you and your needs. If there’s someone you don’t like, then we don’t like them either! 💪👊 #JoshuasAngels # JoshuaHeroes #IStandWithJoshua #autism #SpecialNeedsParenting #HopeTorchlighters #DisabilityMinistry

🥳 Happy Birthday to Joshua, our favorite Aquaboy! 🌊 He loves playing outside, and his ultimate favorite activity is being in the water. Whether it’s the ocean, a pool, or a lazy river, any body of water is his happy place. Swimming underwater from one side of a 6-foot pool to the other has been second nature to him since he was just 3 years old. In the water, no impairment or disability matters. 🌊 Today, he spent his birthday doing what he loves: jumping, diving, swimming, and laughing. This day would has been made possible by my dearly departed parents and his beloved late grandparents. However, Joshua still had a wonderful day because he is blessed to have a chosen family that loves and cares for him. Thank you to his cherished earthly grandparents and his earthly aunt and uncle for making this birthday so special! ♥️ Joshua loves you all more than you know! ✝️ Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 🥳 Happy Birthday, Joshua! Feliz Cumpleaños! 🥳🎂🧩💙 #Happy10thBirthdayJoshua #HappyBirthdayJoshua #JoshuasAngels #TeamJoshua #AutismAcceptanceMonth #WorldAutismAwareness
