INTRODUCTION (What is the research all about? What is the situation of the
problem you want to study? Review recent related literature, 10 years back)
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and it is very important because it gives energy
we need to start the day and it was often called the most important meal. Having
breakfast will replenishes the supply of glucose to boost the energy levels and
alertness, while also providing other essential nutrients required for good health.
Various studies suggested that eating breakfast may help students to do better in
school by improving memory, alertness, concentration, problem-solving ability,
school attendance, and mood. Children who habitually consume breakfast are
more likely to have favorable nutrient intakes including higher intake of dietary fiber,
total carbohydrate and lower total fat and cholesterol (Deshmukh-Taskar et al.,
2010) as cited in the study of Adolphus K, Lawton CL and Dye L (2013).
Some researches shows that having breakfast will help to improve concentration
and focus, will lift moods, in the appetite, the heart health, improves academic
performance, boosts nutrition intake, helps pregnant moms meet nutritional needs,
and boosts immune system. Breakfast also increases both math and reading
achievement of students (Imberman, S. & Kugler, A. 2012). Breakfast intake has a
positive short-term effect on intellectual and cognitive performance as compared to
breakfast omission. In contrast, no effect on test grades was attributable to patterns
in breakfast consumption, breakfast content on test day, is important; carbohydrate
content greater than 65% had a negative effect on academic performance and fat
intake less than 20% had a positive effect on test scores (Fekete, V.K. & Head,
M.K., 1997).
Despite the benefits of breakfast for the health and well being, still many people are
often skipping it, due to some reasons like lack of time, family environment,
single-parent family, not feeling hunger or having several misconceptions like
thinking of being obese. Breakfast intake is associated with other healthy lifestyle
factors. Children who do not consume breakfast are more likely to be less
physically active and have a lower cardio respiratory fitness level (Sandercock et
al., 2010) as cited in the study of Adolphus K, Lawton CL and Dye L (2013).
Moreover, the association between breakfast consumption, cognitive ability, and
academic performance does not coincide with the outcomes of the study(Adolphus.
K, Lawton, C.L., & Dye, L. (2015), as cited in the study of Taha, Z. & Rashed, A.
(2017).
