Fitting a full breakfast into a child's rushed morning routine can be challenging, but it's more important than you might think. Skipping breakfast does not just impact long-term health; it also takes a toll on happiness. A study has revealed that children who regularly miss the morning meal are less likely to be happy in life.
In the large-scale study involving 150,000 children and adolescents across 42 countries in the world, researchers from the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), England, and Universidad de las Americas, Mexico, investigated the link between the regularity of breakfast consumption and life satisfaction. The results published in BMC Nutrition Journal suggest "a nearly linear relationship" between a higher frequency of eating breakfast and greater life satisfaction.
