Good Breakfast

Can you notice how your little child is growing up every day? As kids do get taller day-by-day, it is important to note how their ambitions and drive are growing as well!

With rapid mental and physical development comes the increasing need for a nutritious diet, especially at the start of the day; a diet filled with daily essentials such as Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, and particularly Vitamins.

Why are Vitamins important in breakfast? Let’s have a look at some important questions.

  • How do I ensure my kid’s eyesight remains sharp?
    Vitamin A helps in maintaining healthy skin and vision.
  • How do I keep my child healthy and active?
    Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system, while Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption in bones, normal function of the immune system, and the maintenance of bone and muscle function
    Children who regularly eat breakfast also tend to have a lower body mass index than those who don’t and have a reduced risk of becoming overweight or obese. (5)
  • How do I improve my kid’s concentration?
    Children who eat breakfast can concentrate better and are more alert at school (4)

Did you know?

  • More than 40% of Pakistani kids are Vitamin A deficient, while over 60% have Vitamin D deficiency (1)
  • 1/4th of your child’s daily strength requirements should come from breakfast (2)
    Children need up to 30% of their calorie intake from fat, fat quality being key (3)
