The foods you eat in the morning affect your energy levels and mood throughout the day. We often grab a cup of coffee as first thing in the morning. This can have a negative impact on your overall health. In an Instagram video, nutritionist Nmami Agarwal says that you should never start your day with sugar or foods that quickly turn into sugar. She strictly advises avoiding cereals, packed fruit juices or any sugar-based packed food item. She explains that children are usually fed packed ready-to-eat foods, biscuits, nut butter or packed juices. These foods then affect the brain function throughout the day and cause difficulty in concentration. Therefore, it is wise to choose healthy food options to start the day with.
Breakfast options for kids

Yogurt will offer a healthy dose of probiotics. Adding seeds and nuts to yogurt will provide healthy fats and protein. This mixture is great for overall nutrition and can provide sustained energy.

You can combine different varieties of nuts that are non-fried and unsalted.
