Abstract Breakfast is widely considered one of the most important meals of the day due to its role in replenishing the body’s glucose supply after an overnight fast and providing essential nutrients necessary for optimal performance throughout the day. The benefits of a nutritious breakfast go beyond just providing energy; it also aids in improving cognitive function, increasing physical performance, and contributing to better weight management. A balanced breakfast is typically composed of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and is influenced by both cultural traditions and nutritional wisdom across the globe. This abstract examines the various types of breakfasts, their nutritive value, the health benefits they provide, and the factors influencing breakfast consumption.
This study examines the impact of breakfast consumption on the academic performance of 145 students aged 5–15 years at Gitanjali High School, Hyderabad. Students were categorized into Primary (5–10 years) and Secondary (11–15 years) groups. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to parents during Health Awareness Week and via Google Forms. Academic performance data was obtained from periodic assessments while ensuring confidentiality. A comparative analysis approach was used, with statistical techniques like percentages and averages. Bar graphs and pie charts illustrated findings, highlighting the correlation between breakfast habits and academic success, emphasizing nutrition’s role in cognitive development.
